That is what I found out with my Accoustic B 260 looks small but packs a great tonal non distorted whallopfatcat wrote:After all those years of needing the bigger heavier louder backache rigs, I kinda like the reverse snobbery of getting the smallest rig and still "rattling the windows and shaking down the halls".We'll see.
If I did not have the Minimark I would buy this.Wow, for someone who never played bass seriously, you sure jumped in headfirst, all the way- nice score!johneek wrote:I sure would appreciate everyone's advice on a bass amp. I've never really played bass seriously, only messed around with it (as most guitar players do at one point or another) but finally decided to take the plunge. The JG 4003 I ordered has been shipped from the factory and should be "home" in a week or so.
What would you recommend as a "first" bass amp? I have played through an Ampeg BA115 and wasn't that impressed, at least in terms of volume, even at "jam" levels in the house. I obviously won't play out any at first, but wouldn't refuse an opportunity if it came up. I have been looking at the GK MB115, but after reading some threads on another bass forum, I wondered if the MB210 is something I should consider, given the fact that it seems to have plenty of power (more than I need now for sure) and the capability to plug in an extension cabinet.
Whatever I end up with will mostly be used for my personal practice and be available for friends who come over to play. Suggestions, council, and wisdom are all appreciated....
That's all the recommendation I need! Thanks Jeff...VERY much appreciated!!! I was seriously thinking about the MB210 because of the flexibility it offers for an extension cab, but most of the chatter on another bass oriented forum seems to indicate that while everyone really likes these amps, the bottom end starts to take over once the speakers break in, interestingly enough, more so than with the MB212. Not sure what might cause this...cabinet design? All of this can be cured with EQ, but no one has complained a whit about the MB115. That combined with Jeff's thumbs up makes my decision easy. The MB115 will be a great place to start. Will let you know what I think once everything gets up and running. Thanks everyone for your wisdom and encouragement....jps wrote:John, the GK MB115 is a go!
