Gallien-Krueger Backline 600 Bass Amplifier (300 Watt, 2 Channel) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this amp head about 8 months ago and I have been using it 4-7 times a week about sometimes leaving it on continuously up to 8 hours. It has never overheated on me or given me any trouble at all. I bought it because I didn't have a lot of money to spend, so i thought I'd just have it for a while then trade in to get a better head, but now I think I'm going to keep it as a backup. I just bought an Ashdown head and honestly, this Backline head, While not as good of tone quality, does not sound like it's $700 cheaper than Ashdown. It competes with $600-700 amp heads. It's an incredible value, and has plenty of power, I was running an Ashdown 410 cab and a Backline 115 cab and I couldn't even turn this thing up half way without drowning out my guitarist! The ONLY issue I had with it, and it is very minor, is the fact that it takes a bit of tweaking to get the overdrive channel to be the same volume as the clean, a problem easily solved with a $40 behringer overdrive pedal. Basically, Amazing Power, Amazing Quality, Amazing Head! If you don't want to spend a ton of money on an expensive head, You won't be dissapointed with this one!

Genz Benz Shuttle STL6-0-12T Bass Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ive played many combos, but this one is the best. The tone on the head is fantastic and the speaker is nice and light and portable. This combo is perfect for practice and small venues. Play in a louder band? Then pick up the matching extension cabinet and get the full 600 watts into a 2-112 setup. The Shuttle head is a very clean head, which can dial in just a bit of grunt. If you are looking for a crystal clear head, with a fantastic DI and a very good preamp section thats easy to carry around, this is it.

Ampeg Pro Neo PN-410HLF Bass Amp Cab, 4x10-inch speaker cabinet, neodymium loaded, 850W RMS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I RECEIVED MY PN 410 HLF SPEAKER 2 WEEKS AGO AND HAVE PLAYED 4 NIGHTS USING THIS SPEAKER POWERED BY A AMPEG PRO 6 AMP. MY OLD SPEAKERS ARE, 1 PR 410 HLF AND 1 PR 212 HLF. BOTH THESE SPEAKER ARE AROUND 120 LBS EACH. THIS NEW "PRO NEO" AT 64 LBS BLOWS THE GRILLS OF MY OLD PRO SPEAKERS. I PLAY A 64 FENDER P BASS WITH FLAT WOUNDS AND A PICK. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND HAVE HAD SOME BIG RIGS IN THE PAST. THIS SPEAKER IS CLEAN AND TIGHT. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD MAKE THIS SPEAKER SOUND ANY BETTER IS IF MY GRANDSON WILL LIFT MY OLD AMPEG SVT RACKMOUNT TUBE AMP (85 LBS) OUT OF THE TRAILER AND CARRY TO THE GIGS!!!!!!!!! IN THE OLD DAYS A SPEAKER HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST A 15 POUND MAGNET, NOT ANY MORE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAB FOR ANY STYLE PICKER. CHRIS

Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0 300 Watt Lightweight Bass Amp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this unit for almost over a year now and I am very impressed. I play bass guitar for the Army band and our unit is currently deployed to Afghanistan. I got this head a month or so before we deployed and now that the deployment is almost over I can truly say this little head is for pros on the road! The structure itself is rugged and has put up with being dragged all around AF (not like that were an issue, it weighs next to nothing so it's easy to move and small too!). It has simple controls but they are authentic. 9 times our of 10 a bass amps' EQ has several bands, but it's still a weak EQ, this amps' three knobs and 3 switches (boost/cuts for highs&bass/mid) give you a full range to play around and the tone is pure bass. No filters, no loss of tone when the gain goes up. It will sound like your bass, maybe for the first time!
It also comes with varrying voltage capacity, which especially in Afghanistan (or on the road in general) comes in handy since you don't always know the levels you'll get when you show up for the next gig.
Overall, this head is a solid amp, it does the job and it does it darned well. Get yours today if you live on the road and play bass :)

Gallien-Krueger MB200 - 200W Ultra Light Bass Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been an electric and upright bass player for over 15 years, and have been gigging regularly for the past 10 or so.
I hate hauling heavy gear.
I absolutely hate it. I build my own cabinets so I can shave pounds off of my load-in. I run with the smallest possible rig that I can get away with for any given show.
Because of that I've been watching the ultra-light part of the amp market for quite awhile now, waiting for good Class-D amps to make their way into the live audio segment at reasonable prices.
My last lightweight amp was a Crate Powerblock, 150w @4ohms and at least 4 times the weight of this one. Only problem with it is that it's a guitar amp, so it goes into overdrive when you turn the gain up past about 12 o'clock. It served my needs for gigs where I had a good PA and just needed my amp for on-stage monitoring, but I still had to haul a big (50lb) old school 350w head for most gigs without a PA.
I tried a Bose Packlite A1 power amp, but it didn't have the oomph despite allegedly being rated at 250w.
I call BS on those specs, the Crate was louder at it's 150w.
This MB200 though is freaking awesome.
Designed for bass, 200W of CLEAN power in a tiny package, and it doesn't cost a fortune like the EA mini or micro series, Walter Woods stuff, or Genz Benz shuttles. I generally run it off my Fishman platinum pre-amp just so I have tonal control easily at hand, but I'm starting to consider leaving that at home as well. The EQ on the MB200 is very solid, it's got an XLR output with switchable pre/post output, and Speakon or quarter inch power outputs.
It fits in the pouch of my upright bass bag and can serve as my primary amp for any gig I play that doesn't have PA support, and doesn't break the bank at just over a buck a watt.
What's not to love?
Get one now.

Behringer Ultrabass BB410 1200W 4x10 Bass Cabinet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Mostly, we have been conditioned into thinking the more expensive, the more better. Gear snobs have often turned their noses up at Behringer products and I don't know why. 90% of the time Behringer makes a product that sounds and performs just as good as equipment that costs hundreds more. Also, they have one of the best costumer services and everything they make is built rock solid. You can't tear this stuff up!
I've been on the market for a new bass cab (mostly a 4x10) for a while now. I've been researching and trying things out and I have come to the conclusion that with whatever I buy, the sound quality simply won't overcome the cost. The Behringer BB410 has a wonderful sound. It can handle way more power than your typical bass player will be carrying around, its 4 Ohms, can be linked with other cabs, and has both 1/4 and Speakeon inputs. It also has a horn that can be turned on and off, and honestly I find it is really low noise. Some cabs I've been trying I've found the horn to be too noisy and I have to turn it off but not the BB410. It is heavy and awkward to move around, but it still fits into the back of my car and I installed casters (instead of the little wheels coming off of the side) to make it easier to move. The speakers really bring out the punchy mid range I desire while keeping the bass low and booming. If you play slap/pop you will find your pops really cut through with that sharp percussive sound bass players tend to like. Playing in a cover band, I need really versatile equipment and this cab is it!
I have played through it with 4 or 5 heads (currently running the Eden E300 into it) and they all sound great! No matter how hard I play and I cannot get the speakers to distort out so it can handle all playing styles. Put high quality head through this thing and its winning.
Basically this is how I feel about this cab. If you aren't getting an Ampeg SVT, get this. If you aren't getting this, get an Ampeg SVT. If you aren't willing to shell out big money for an amazing Ampeg cab, you can be kind to your pockets and still get an excellent cab that will serve you well.

Gallien-Krueger Neo 112-II Bass Guitar Cabinet (300 Watt) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have been a fan of GK products for years. Paired this with the 700RB/210 Combo for a more dynamic sound and am amazed at the difference. Great power and dynamic range. As always, GK delivers excellent workmanship and sound quality at a fair price. Light as a feather compared to the old time stuff. Wouldn't use anything but GK products.

Gallien-Krueger 210MBE - 2x10, 400 Watt Ultra Light Bass Guitar Cabinet with Horn Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This cabinet is very lightweight and is the perfect compliment to the Gallien-Krueger MB210 combo amp. If you have that combo, you probably care a lot about having power in a very lightweight package. Add this cab and you have yourself a Mini-Stack Of Doom: 500w through four 10" speakers all at 73 pounds.
On the negative side, the horn is kind of hissy and produces a bass guitar sound that is too crispy for my tastes. I'd leave it off unless pumping your iPod through the amp or playing an acoustic six-string guitar through it (works well).

Seismic Audio - 1x15 & 2x10 BASS GUITAR SPEAKER CABINET COMBO PRO AUDIO Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I actually own the 3X10" version of these cabinets, but that has been discontinued, so this seems like a reasonable location for a review. I needed a speaker cabinet for my keyboard rig, already owning a full-range amp, and wanted something that would sound clear and rich both at low volumes and high volumes. Comparable cabinets from "big name" manufacturers carry a much higher price tag, and, frankly, I don't need the cab that much when gigging, as the keys normally go through the PA, so I didn't want to sink a lot of money into one. Seismic Audio to the rescue! The cabinet is well construsted and covered (mine is the carpeted version). The three 10" drivers are efficient and responsive. The tweeter reproduces the keyboard high end with stunning clarity. The cabinet will produce pants-flapping volume levels if you need it to! It is the perfect addition to my gigging rig.

Hartke AK115 Bass Guitar Amplifier 1x15 Cabinet, 400 Watts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is nothing real exotic about a 1x15 bass cabinet, but this one does everything I wanted. 400 watts is plenty for my needs, and the castors are a huge help. If you think you don't need them, think again. That is a huge bonus. Hartke has always had a punchy sound to my ear, especially their 15's compared to most.
There may be better cabinents out there, but for the money, (I paid $400) I am quite pleased. Oh, it also very light. The castors and the light weight were very important to me, but for others may not be as big a deal.

Gallien-Krueger 115MBE 400-Watt Ultra Light Bass Guitar Cabinet with Horn Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This GK bass cabinet is the best sounding cabinet I've ever used in this price range. It rivals cabinets that are twice the price (and weight!). This new material that GK uses to enclose its speakers is space-age. The cabinet weighs about 35lbs and even an old rocker like myself can tote this in my car for a gig without having to sheepishly ask some youthful types for a little help. The 15 thunders the floor plus the tweeter gives that extra crispness on the high end for clarity. Seriously, there's no better bass cab for the money than this 115MBE.
