So last night I played my first bar gig with my new G&L JB. Love the JB! But I wanted to talk about my GK MB210 here.
I see these getting a bit of a bad rep here and I'm sure some of it is justified (too boomy, too rattly, etc). Well, I have to say that mine has been great. Last night we played a medium sized but crowded bar (about 200 people at max I'd say). The crowd was really loud too. My band just got another guitar so we are 2 guitars, keys, drums and bass. I was told I was a bit too quiet at first but once I jacked it up a bit there was no problem. I had boost and gain both around noon, master at a bit past 1, bass at about 10 and the rest just past noon and got a nice smooth but cutting sound with a good, deep feel. No, we are not a "polished" band but we are loud! And my 33 pound friend got the job done. That's all I can ask.
So yeah, I'd probably rather have a GB Shuttle 6 and a Berg 2x10 but I also enjoy the $600+ I saved and have all I want in the MB210.
Anyway, just wanted to put in my 2 cents in case anyone was curious.
