Is GK EVER going to start shipping MB212's?

[Sparkdog]

Can anyone tell me if GK will ever get around to actually shipping the MB212 combos they've been advertising for months?!

I've looked at every combo out there, played most of them, and based on specs this sounds like the one I want, but I can't find one to save my life.

MF can't tell me, GC can't tell me, and apparently GK can't tell me either...all these acronyms and waiting are getting me PO'd

OK, rant over...just wondering if any of you guys have insider info. It's frustrating to be standing here with the money in hand and unable to buy one.

Thanks.

i feel the same way. I have money in hand ready to purchase one of the MB combos. Unfortunately NO one has them in stock for me to even try one out.

Talk about a total package combo. I'm really looking forward to owning one.

The initial shipment of them was very small, due to a large number of preorders. They shipped at the end of December and were all sold out at retailers by January 10th.

I can understand that, but here's an idea:

MAKE MORE!

Sorry dude, just venting

I can't help but feel that GK has designed a wonderful product that doesn't actually exist in the real world, so a lot of guys (myself included probably) will end up passing over in favor of one I can touch, try, and buy now.

sigh...

I hear you, man. I ordered mine in September. That's a long wait for an amp that I had already paid for.

I think I found the 2nd to last MB210 in Atlanta today, I figured I better get it because I was interested and they seem to be in short supply. One local retailer said 4 months? I am loving the amp so far and have a simple setup that is very nice to my ears anyway. I am running a Fender USA Jazz (2009) into a Korg Pitchblack and a VT Bass Tech 21 pedal. So far I am pleased with the sound, I figured a good solid state amp that is light and accurate with the VT Bass warming it up in front would be a good combination. I like the amp so far and the last amp I had was a Markbass 210 combo and I think the GK is right up there with that, maybe the 10's hit a little harder on thr Markbass, but I prefer the highend (defeatable horn!! yea!)options and sound of the GK better. I guess I like it about the same so far, still in Honeymoon phase though! Also there is a pretty big price diff in the 2, I got the MB210 for $540 and the Markbass is at least about $1100.

Wait for it~ I played one at NAMM last Sunday & it's insane~ MUCH bigger sounding than the 210~ loud, clear, low, articulate and worth the wait. If you don't wanna wait, I'll be buying yours~ GK guys told me that they would ship within weeks and they are making a ton of them to catch up with demand.

Seriously, if this had been on the market a year ago I would have went for it instead of my mondo rig.
Did I just post that?
