Nice! I have the 210. These are great amps at a good price! For where I am musically right now, I couldn't be happier. Somewhere on the horizon, a tube amp awaits, but even then, I think the MB210 & I will be Thunder buddies for life!

I love the light combo amp and for most situations it works perfect.

I get a kick outa the fact that you & I have combos that weigh half as much as an SVT Classic head alone!

Need me one of those.

Need me one of those.

The 210 & 115 run at 500 watts with an external 8 ohm load, and weigh in at about 32 pounds. The 212 runs at 500 straight outa the gate, and weighs in at 42 pounds. Plus... you can daisy chain as many of their MBP series powered speaker cabs as you want, adding a couple hunnerd watts each. Pretty cool, versatile, great sounding rigs... and I got mine for less than $350!

<edit>

Almost forgot... If ya wanna go large, you can get the MB212 (500 watts), add the 212MBP powered cab (also 500 watts), and have a 1000 watt 4x12 rig. This would encompass all of your needs for small, medium, and large gigs... while maintaining the exact same sound and UI, while remaining easily portable

Yeah light weight is a factor for me now as well. My current set up weighs less than 100lbs, all in. It is easy to carry and can be transported in a regular car.

That weight does not include the bass. The head and case weigh 28lbs. The 1x12 weighs 32lbs and the 2x12 weighs 44lbs. The head is rated at 500 watts.

I don't recall noticing it before, but I like it!

The white edge is standard. I painted the truss cover white. It is black either “Epiphone “ in gold from the factory.

I wanna replace the TR cover on my BlueBird. I wanna white one with the old-school Epi "E" on it.

Be ye not troubled, brother. They'll be waiting for you on the other side of the valley you're crossing.

HAH! As I was typing that posting, it occurred to me that I could have my buddy cut one for me outa the same silver/grey vinyl in which my club number was done. All I gotta do is "whiten" my TR cover!

Soon, you will get to experience the same thing I do when you plug yours in with those Lollars. You will really melt then.....

Next week good sir.

Well... when there was music, it had a groove... but all the weirdness just wrecks everything for me. With as revered as Zappa is, I know there's gotta be something there... but maybe I don't know what to look for

All good Dude I just thought you might dig the fat n groovy vibe on this one. We can still be friends

Next week good sir.

I would recommend that when you pick it up, grab a set of inexpensive round wounds to try out. Those pick ups really bring out the piano like aspects of the bass.

I don't know man... my Mom warned me about people like you, and your "devil music"
