Carvin JB5 and MIA Mystic Blue Standard Jazz pre mod (just recently (yesterday) been moded with an J-Retro 01 pre)
 
Forget the basses (I can't wrap my Trump-like fingers around a five-string neck), I'm digging that stack behind them! You must be playing in a massive space! :woot:
I only use the 4x10 and 1x15 with the 700RB-II. The 1001RB-I 2x10 combo is a back up amp, although I like to mix it up with different speaker combinations from time to time. I thought it might make a good family photo...:smug: GK rocks!
 
Hello Everyone. I was reading everyone's post to get answer with the issue on my MB210 1st gen combo. Lately, for some reason, the loudness was gone. Sound quality is still there and no farting sound, but even I'm at almost full volume and gain with the amp and almost full on my Bass, the sounds seems like its from a 10 watts.
If any of you encountered or experienced my issue, any advice for me to fix it will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

You didn't mention MB210 or 210 II... I have a II. It sounds like your preamp has issues, however.....please plug your bass into another amp and plug a different bass into your amp. You need to confirm it is the amp and not your bass.

Run the XLR out into a powered speaker. This will confirm that your preamp is working. Engage the EQ in/out to test that nothing is wrong with the EQ stage. That would leave only the main amp as the issue. Sadly, in either case I think you are in for a trip to the repair shop.

Thank you so much for the advice.
I have the MB210. And I will do what you've suggested.
If it's not going to work, I will also do the 2nd suggestion... Repair shop!! I just hope they won't kill me on how much they'll charge.
