Double Bass MB150 w/5 string?

[ric426]

Hi,
I've been thinking about getting a G-K MB150 for low volume playing and when I have to carry an amp up 3 flights of stairs, but I've never used one with a 5 string EB. Does the MB150 handle a low B at low to moderate volumes reasonably well? I'm not expecting miracles and this would be for playing with a drummerless acoustic group, I just wonder if the low end is solid enough to be satisfactory. Any opinions?
I would have asked this in the BG Amp forum, but I'm sure that the players here have much more experience doubling with the MB150 and playing in live acoustic gigs in moderate size rooms.

thanks,
Ric

I personally think that amp sound like poop with EB. I think the SWR WM10 is a better bet if you are looking for something small. I have both. For the DB the MB 150 is hand down better. It wouldn't be my choice for a small EB amp.

I had MB150 and it worked much better with a BG then with DB for me.
Handeled the 5th string OK.Volume ofcourse was an issue,but I'd say GK is louder then WM10,at least thats my experience with these two.
(plus WM10 "farted" more at higher volumes)
