Great Article on Bass Amplification History and Basics

Me, still loving to death my MB200, for some couch playing and the smallest gigs, eventually pairing it with a custom 1x10?Eden loaded cab for extra punch. A friend of mine has offered me the original GK extension 12 cab (which looks pretty much the same as the MB200?s enclosure, and has some sort of slot to put the MB -or any other GK amp of the line, such as the ML250 for guitar, which I also own and am pretty much fond of too- above and make it a bigger amp. Can?t wait to pick it up and give it a try at some gig

I agree , the amount of sound from those MB200/ MB150E combo's is impressive. The icing on the cake with those is the versatility with interconnect ability . The DI and all the other hook ups are all first class . I recently replaced the speakers in both the MB200 and the newer MB150E. The speaker replacement procedure in the newer MB150E was a simple front loaded procedure ,___HOWEVER the required procedure for the older MB200 was far more involved and required partial dismantling of the metal enclosure and if you do that you have to reseal it with silicon caulk for reassembly or it will rattle and vibrate to much . The reason for speaker replacement was because over time the foam surounds had deteriorated. It is important with these combos to use GK's proprietary parts , just any 12 speaker in this application might sound unfavorable.
