November 15, 2011 Music Background: Church, Gospel, Concerts Gallien Krueger MB500 micro sized bass amp with super size features.
by Brad Mock from Leander, TX
1st impressions: This is one pretty shiny little thing, amazing something so small and light can have all these features and power. It is well put together although there is a slight sound on the sha... read more [+]ke test. My only issue so far is the placement of the limiter switch, this switch could be damaged if rack mounted, would rather it was on back panel. Thru my Walter Box 1x10 it is surprisingly warm but much of that is an artifact of the speaker, it easily fills the room with warm round bass, perfect for those little sit down gigs or for recording. The small footswitch included for boost is a nice size with detachable cable and includes a status LED, nice touch. I transport my pedal board in a keyboard bag and the MB500 fits in the front pocket perfectly, very handy. First gig with a loud rock band pushing a 2x15 EV & 1x12H was loud and clear, with the master half way up was plenty loud and the DI out worked flawlessly. 2nd gig was a moderate volume outdoor jazz thru a 1x15 and once again the MB500 shined thru nicely. close [-]
August 30, 2010 Music Background: Bassist, studio engineer and producer Good Practice/Backup Head
by Doug Diamond from White Plains, NY
Acquired in December '09 as backup to a '73 V4-B (100W tube), and for practice. Played through either an SVT 8x10 (800W @ 4 ohms; gigs), or a ported Crate 2x15 (300W @ 8 ohms; practice), it has a good... read more [+] general tone palette, and will produce substantial volume and bottom end. WILL cut out when pushed hard, but the clip button mitigates. Mute switch is useful. So light, it will dance off the cab unless secured somehow. Front dials will not hold position in transit . Fits in a laptop computer bag, w/all cables & footswitch. In no way does this head compare to the aforementioned all-tube 100W V4-B for sheer rock 'n roll grunt, but I'd be comfortable to finish out a gig with it, should the Ampeg crap out some day. close [-]
