anybody that reads our posts on the mb's reliability will think twice about buying em

welcome to the marshall mb club.mb stands for made badly i had the exact same problem with my mb 115 and twice the thermal protection on the head has cut in so now im saving up for a peavey bv2 and the tour cabs.i'll never buy another marshall bass amp or cab again still its true what they say you get what you pay for

for me megadeth or girls alouds backing band just so i could stand at the back and watch them wiggle their bootys all night

its like anything else you get what you pay for.the vba 400 is an awesome head the mb450 not as good but there's about a £700 difference in price

tried female klr to quarter inch jack and it worked fine so job done cheers

i'll give it a go on friday n see.cheers

the Di is going from the head into mike input using an xlr lead

Ive just started using the di on my marshall mb450h but every time i connect it to the desk a soundstation 600 the gain lights go straight into the red.so we have had to turn the gain on the bass channel right down to almost zero to bring the lights down to amber but the bass from the front sounds sh*te.we are using mackie 450v2 and rfc bins all active is there any way of turning down the signal from the amp its self my peavey 450 max has a control knob for the di but the marshall hasnt so any help or advice welcome

over here in west cumbria most local bands get between £250 and £300 for two 45 min sets for pub gigs

i was just wondering if anyone has tried peaveys vb2 head and if you have is it any good.ive found them on the tinternet for £909 but as i live in north west cumbria and im at least 90 mins drive from a decent music shop so wanted your opinion on them . cheers

the inductor coil was loose on my cab poor design.i had expected more from marshall but then again they make them in india or some far off place where labour is cheap.as soon as i can palm it off on anyone I'll be buying hartke or genz benz but not marshall ever again

i was unlucky enough to but the mb115.i have now decided that the mb stands for made badly.ive not long had the cab and its packed in twice.as it was going to cost £50 postage to send it back to nevada music i opend it up it see if i could find the fault myself.i took the plate off the back and it looked like it had been soldered by i blind monkey there is a thread somewhere on this site from folk who have had the same problem.by the way the head is ok but just ok

the marshell mb450h runs at 2 ohms.and so does the peavey max but that weights a ton

after quite a few beers last night my mate was saying he was going to sell his ab-34 its in good condition with only a few small marks on it and it has its own case.after playing it for a while i offered him £80 as a starting point for haggling but to my suprise he said go on then.so its mine for £80 just wonderd if id done well out of this as i dont know what thel sell for

ive been using mine at 2ohms for about twelve months.sometimes three nights a week and never had a problem with it.but im using marshall cabs.our set is normaly two one hours sets with a five min break between

find your happy place.because being stuck in a van/bus with two guitarists singer and drummer will take its toll oh and plenty of spares

ive just joined a thrash band so i thought id better buy a bass that looked the part.and i dont want to spend lots of cash on it. so i just wonderd if anybody has one or played one and are they any good ?

yeah i got the soldering iron out.i bought mine from navada music in portsmouth and as i live in west cumbria it was going to cost £50 to ship it down.that and the fact i had a weekend full of gigs ment i couldnt afford to wait so i did it myself

ive had exactly the same problem with my mbc115 it was even the same dry joint.

we were three songs into our first set and this bloke walked onto the stage and said do you do requests.i said i mate what do you want us to do he replied can you f@?k off home i want to watch the footie

hi i think you have been unlucky and bought a dodgy amp ive got a mb450 head and it has no hum and no buzz.it gets gigged two or three times most weeks so it gets a hard life
