Gareth Hughes Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Hey All - Up for sale is my Gallien Krueger MB150S Combo. I bought this amp in January of this year and have only used it to play along side one acoustic guitar player - in other words it's in near perfect condition. It is actually in perfect condition, having been carried in a padded gig bag since day one. Brand new these are going for between £586-649. I'm selling this 6 month old amp for £400 (including the £40 gig bag) plus postage. Postage should be about £30-ish. You're welcome to source your own courier. Here's the guff from GK: longtime favorite for session bassists such as Leland Sklar, Charlie Haden, Ron Carter and Jimmy Earl, the Gallien-Krueger MB150S-III/112 remains the industry standard for high quality compact bass amplification in and out of the studio. The Gallien-Krueger MB150S-III/112 improves on its predecessor with improved signal to noise ratio (-90dB) and much cooler operation. With its sturdy welded aluminum chassis, the Gallien-Krueger MB150S-III/112 is equally at home on the road, or in the studio. Gallien-Krueger MB150S-III/112 main features include: POWER <1% THD: 100W (150W with Extension Cabinet) COOLING: Convection INPUT SECTION: 1/4" Jack, -14dB Pad and Volume VOICING FILTER: Low Cut, Adjustable Contour and High Boost EQUALIZER: Active Four-Band OUTPUT: Master and Limiter (Switch, Level and LED) DIRECT OUT: XLR Pre/Left, XLR Post/Right and Ground Lift. PATCHING: Send, Return, Line Out, Aux In and Head Phone. SPEAKER OUTPUT: Two 1/4" jacks and Speaker Switch. WOOFER: 1xGK-Paragon 12LB150-8 Stamped Frame, 12", 100W Low Resonance Suspension CONSTRUCTION: 0.1" Aluminum Chassis, 18 Gauge Steel Grill, Heat Sink Top Cover and Mic Stand Mountable WEIGHT: 26 lbs DIMENSIONS: 13.5"W x 16"H x 8.5"D Do excuse my dodgy photos - camera is sucking somewhat, but you can see that's there's no marks at all on the amp.

Dood Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Always baffled me that such a small box could sound so big. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Hughes Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 But then there's eBay's nasty little fees, and PayPal's too.

rumour6 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi there I got one of these... you tend to wonder how they'll cope ..I use a Stingray5 fretted and a GB Rumour 6 Fretless at rehearsals with drums and acoustic through a PA and Guitar albeit through a Peavey mini combo.. I 've also used it for live BBC sessions and they were happy as it's a known Industry standard..... I paid more second hand and mine did not have a bag.... and I think I got a good deal..someone buy it .. actually take your Bass ad try it first then it's a no brainer.... good luck with the sale man .

Gareth Hughes Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks Andy - much appreciated. But jeez, with that review now you've got me thinking I should keep it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 This is another one that will do just nicely if I sell my Status. I've used a GK1001 for years off and on and I love the sound - just keep going back to GK stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thans Dotty[/quote] Hey Dotty - Thanks for checking the amp out - but I'm guessing that shipping this amp to Maine would get mighty expensive. But if you want to do it send me a PM.
