GK MB210 extension cab ideas

[fishstick666]

Well, I just got the email from MF cancelling my order for an MBE 210 cabinet because it's been discontinued.

I have a GK MB210 combo that I really like and need to add a cabinet. The ideal choice (IMO) was the MBE 210 from GK - doesn't look like that's going to happen.

My local GC has the GK MBE 115 and the MBE410 (I think 8 ohm) both for $299. With the 30 day return policy, I could try one or both of these and return it if I didn't like it.

I really like the idea of matched cabinets (a 210 cab goes with a 210 combo), so my question is, go for a non-matched but GK brand cabinet, or try another brand 210 to go with my combo?

Oh yeah, I'm in a blues band playing 4 string basses (no low B) and happy with the sound of the combo – I just need a little more oomph for outdoor/non PA gigs.

Thanks!

Can't you bring in your combo and demo them both?????

My main priorities would be a) that it be 8 ohms, b) that it stacks well under the combo and c) that it has roughly the same limits. (That is, both cabs would blow their speakers at roughly the same volume.)

I'd avoid the 410. Get a 210 (preferable) or a 15. And make sure they stack ok.

Thanks guys - I've got my mb 210 specs/dimensions in hand and am looking for another light weight 210 that can be the base for my mb 210.

MBE210 Cabs are still in stock other places...you just need to know where to look

FWIW,,,,, Im running a MBE115 with my MB210 and it sounds killer.

And, a little bit of looking did turn up an MBE 210! Sounds and looks great! Thanks for the input.

If it comes up again for anybody else, I love my Avatar 210 Neo hooked up to my MB210.
