Lord Sausage Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does anyone know if these amps are any good. Thinking of buying one but can't get to test one for about a week. It's a [b] Marshall MB4210 Bass Combo Amp[/b] Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I had one, and yes, it`s a very good amp. Very versatile, due to having 2 channels. Modern, which has a compressor on it, and Classic, which has gain, and gain boost - you can get a real Lemmy sound on this. Plus, there is a Blend control, where both channels can be blended together, so tailoring the sound even more. There were apparently reliability issues on the early models, but I bought my one in late 2007, never had any problems with it, and sold it to a guy I work with in 2009, who still has it now, so it has been used weekly for nearly 4 years, and probs at all. These are loud amps. I used mine with a heavy rock band, and a punk band, both with 2 gtrs. For practices, I just used it on it`s own, but at gigs added the matching 1x15 for a little more depth and presence. You could easy gig it on it`s own though. I just wanted a Marshall stack!

Prime_BASS Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 My opinion is vastly different. I had one for a while. I didn't really like any of the sounds it had, but I prefEr getting as much as a flat sound as possible.. The different channels are usable, I just didn't like them. In terms of loudness, I fEel it was short here too. I could hear next to a loud drummer but not with any real defintion. I would look at returns policy cause the only wat you'll know if its right for you is at a gig or rehearsal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjas Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have the MB4410, same amp but 4 x 10". I think its a great amp for the money. There have been reliability issues with them but i had no issues sending mine back for replacement when the volume pot started to crackle. I still use mine for rehearsing and the odd gig now and then with no problems. Like Loz, I added a 1 x 15" extensiion for more depth and its plenty loud enough. TBH its plenty loud enough on its own. I like the 2 channels and the blend option, I find i can get all the sounds and tones I need (covers band). Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
