SlapKid « Rattlesnake! »
Published on 02/24/11 at 11:57The thing must date, the predecessor of the famous MB150. Funny nomenclature in any event, the 150 is only 100w and 150 with additional speaker, while the 200 is only 65W and 100 with extra speaker (8 ohms, 4 ohms total).
Any metal, a real Fleshwerks (I will return), super size super nice look weight, connections (x2 XLR out, send / return, speaker out with switch to disconnect the internal phones) and very nice settings (volume, contour and treble boost switch, 4 band eq, limit switch, master volume, depth and rate of the chorus board).
No background noise, but the amp buzz physically (mains frequency transformer I guess), but nothing surprising really annoying.
The buttons look great, no noise, and therefore good resistance remain there or have been resolved. Jacks could hook more, but again nothing to complain to the function.
UTILIZATION
Everything is simple and effective, the main entrance on the other hand is quickly overwhelmed (it is possible that it is intended for a passive piezo bass too), beyond nine hours it twists pj bass yet passive.
The limiter is quick to quickdraw, slap it goes in but otherwise it's not the top of the genre. Canbe cut.
The chorus is beautiful, keep your pedals level they are far behind her.
A Fleshwerks, but why? Ben I have never seen worse built, screws around (brace yourself: the parker in metal! Is anything, besides turning into full-Camembert) and everything is tied so absolutely reverse any duty to change the hp (53 screws ...).
Of course the machine vibrates not healthy, I redid all the stuff in M4 and I still have the vibration problem of finding a more compatible hp is a puzzle (Eminence Gamma 12 will both great sound and performance level that the closed volume available, thank you SlapKid).
SOUNDS
And it's a shame because the sound is the opposite of the material, warm and round and music.
With my fretless five is great to play on this (spurious resonances apart) and with PJ4 because it's fun to slap very coated.
All settings are relevant, you can really fit all with this combo.
Reservations about the vibration noise (4th string of the box for example) rotting life.
On external box that's better of course but the main interest of flies foo ...
Power remains too limited in 1x12, a 3x10 is better but it leveled off quickly, and after a while everything crashes and are more dynamic yuck.
We share the idea that it not vibrate normally, sound is very good at the base.
OVERALL OPINION
Compared to my roland cube 30 bass you wonder where did hide the 35 watts and more ... But this cube is a particular phenomenon seems it.
Compared to my late Bebert bx450 is much better eh, no matter the age of gk.
It was even tested with a double bass, and was afraid that everything disintegrates as it vibrated everywhere!
In short, given the problematic construction I can only advise these combos GK metal, especially now that GK has released a compact combo wood 12pouces 200w real (no box to add) and 12kilos for third the price of metal ...
