Double Bass New Gallien Krueger MB combos 2012

I would get the specs from GK directly,I wouldnt depend on big store specs listed on their website as they are known to make alot of mistakes when it comes to exact specs as I have experienced at times...

if I'm not mistaking I dont think the 110 is able to chain out to the new powered cabs ,according to the youtube video at namm 2012 at least theres not one with the 110 like there is with the other combos.you can check on it for yourself I could be wrong??

You definitely can use the MB110 to chain out to the powered cabs.

I was wondering about this chain out feature on the new combos,Are you able to chain out to different size cabs/ like can you chain out to a 115 cab from a mb 112 or can you only chain out to the same size cab MB 112 to a 112 cab???

Any of the newer MB combos have the ability to drive any of the powered enclosures. You can mix and match to your heart's content.

To clarify, if I buy a 200 watt MB112 and then add a 112 "powered" cab, does the wattage still stay at 200 total? Just trying to compare to the 500 watt MB212 that I already own.

Nope, the powered cabs have their own internal amplifier (which I think is generally the same output section as the similarly sized combo). So, if you add a 200-watt powered enclosure to a 200-watt combo, you will be pushing a "400-watt rig."

The Carvin MB-10 or MB-12 for a DB is a better value for money with better tone and better features.

Keep in mind, you can pair up any of the MB combos with GK's matching powered enclosures. I really liked the sound and layout of the MB110. It would make a great practice or low volume gig combo on its own, and you could add one or more of their powered enclosures for bigger gigs.

I should clarify that I am more than willing to pay more $$ for smaller, lighter, and more power. This is why I got the GB Shuttle. The idea of adding a 15" 30+ lbs power enclosure is not for me.

Does seem like it could work well for others.

You should check out the AER combos, then.

because the 112 didn't have separate gain and master controls.

I didn't realize this until I bought it. Couldn't believe they didn't have separate gain and master on this amp.

While I don't own one of the Carvins, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a true statement. There's certainly Much more to the amp section itself on the Carvins than the GKs.

Thanks Tom. The love affair with my GB Shuttle 3.0 8T hasn't ended yet.

Sweetwater selling the MB110 II for $299, a tad steep, damn. I was looking into 1

Any more info on these MB Combos??

Was considering an MB110 and a 15" extension cab for when needed.
