Merton Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'd lose that down the back of the sofa. I want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottle Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Crikey, that's ickle - 200w into 4 Ohms isn't too shabby, though I think that'll look a little silly perched on top of my EBS 4x10 (I mean, seriously, I've had comments about my MB-500, like 'where's the amp?') However, for those looking for a compact and seriously lightweight amp/cab solution, that's gotta be the dogs danglies - partner that up with a Compact or Midget, or both Damn, that's all I need now - more GAS Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 The cabs are super lightweight too: [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/products_mbe_series.html"]http://www.gallien-krueger.com/products_mbe_series.html[/url] The 2x12 is just 34 lbs - I thought my old Begantino 1x12's were light at 31lbs! That's also lighter than the Shuttle 2x10 cab @ 37lbs. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 And a 410 at 41lbs, damn I'll have to rethink the Barefaced Compact route now ! bugga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 The new Gallien cabs/combo/micro amps are probbaly the lightest out there. I saw the spec of that 4x10! I cannot believe it! Now THAT makes it worthwhile going lightweight. Some of the really expensive neo 4x10s weigh as much as my Aguilar DB212....which is taking the point out of lightweight. THAT Gallien 4x10 is just silly light! Personally, I really want one of the 2x12 combos. 500W into 2x12.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 anybody know who's stocking these in the UK ? Wouldn't mind seeing some pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 The MB210 combo is just under £500. Now THATS a bargain. Im waiting to see reviews on the MB212. I think the new neo cabs are literally brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) No uk pricing for the MB200 head (that i've seen yet). BUT... My bro in law flies to LA next week. Hmm... Shall i? Edited May 17, 2010 by Merton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Just how exactly do they make a 4x10 weight less than some 1x12s?!

Dood Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 It isn't 'switchable' and doesn't use an'auto sensing' switch-mode power supply - you'll need to buy a UK version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merton Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Brian at G-K got back to me on this: "The MB200 will not be available for about 8 weeks. A unit bought in the U.S. would need to be internally converted to work in the U.K." So scuppered on all fronts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I have one on the way from GK..... not going to be here for a couple of months though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 "Converting" the MB2-500 just involves moving a single jumper on the circuit board. Don't know if this one will be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 How much for the MB-200 crez5150 ? And scuppered with the 410 as they've gone and put a handle on the top, what's the point in that? I want my amp to rest on the top, especially with a 4x10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably sit over the top of the handle I'd think. Edited May 20, 2010 by Bigwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 My intention was to replace my 410 and keep my rack amp. Would possibly look at installing side handles if I had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackLondon Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 In USA it's about $250 so it'll probably be around £250 here in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
