The little amp with a big sound

by reborst1@verizon.net from Amherst, NY
December 5, 2011
Music Background: Used to play semiprofessionally years ago. Now I'm getting back in shape to entertain myself, friends, and -- oh no! -- the neighborhood.
Forget those other entry-level amps if you want your bass instrument to sound like a bass instrument. This one can do everything from emulate that old 1970s Vox tube-type warm depth to slapping and po... read more [+]pping with the best modern players. And it will easily do so in a 3- or 4-piece group in a medium-sized club, church -- whatever. I wanted the 15-inch speaker to go with the deep sounds of my Kala U-Bass 5-string solid body (that we also got from Sweetwater) and man does this one ever come straight up out of the caves. Just because it's low-end for G-K, doesn't make it low end for the musical field. This MB115 is serious equipment. Spend more and go bigger if you need that, but if small cabinet and big versitility is your deal, get one of these bad boys today. close [-]

I have a few big rigs with 2-15"speaker cabs.I also have a bad back. So I was looking for an affordable,light weight combo amp to replace the very heavy Mesa Boogie Walkabout amp I was borrowing and l... read more [+]ugging to gigs. My band plays charities and fund raises, usually at some country club, or poolside at some donor's private party.I have tried the Mark Bass,the Promethean, The Shuttle, and all the small but powerful light weights available.But for my needs and the price. This amp rocks with room to spare over 2 guitars,Bass,keys,drums and 5 vocalists close [-]

Great Amp!

by Andrew from Bmore, MD

Music Background: Weekend Musician
This amp is amaizngly lightweight. It is very easy to get in and out of anywhere needed. I bought this amp for small gigs so I didn't have to lug around my ampeg svt3pro and 410hlf (well over 100 lb... read more [+]s of gear). The MB115 sounds much better than i expected for $400. The EQ is easy to use and the 4 bands give great control over the sound. The loudness just barely cuts with with a loud drummer. It is adequate, but with no extra headroom. I would recommend this amp for small bars/gigs with no PA support or medium sized gigs with PA support. I have read other reviews that state the direct out xlr jack is poorly designed. They are correct, and xlr will go into the jack fine, but the button is right against a lip and you need a pocket knife to get the cable out. (the reason for 4.5 stars) Other than that, it's great! close [-]

Super Amp!!

by Steve Smith from Whetstone, AZ
February 7, 2011
Music Background: Active Musician since 1967
This amp produces the bottom and tone I've been looking for since I used an 18-inch Kustom in the 70s. It has HUGE bottom end and the crispest highs I have ever seen in a bass amplifier. I've used sev... read more [+]eral models of Fender, Peavey, Kustom, and Crate, but the GK MB115 is the only one that completely satisfies what I want with its tonal variations. It's also super lightweight and very well constructed. My only suggestion is that GK build in a tuner and turn the XLR output around. Super amp!! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
