Bass Good, Hernia Bad!

Before you mess up your back schlepping around that massive, super-heavy bass amp of yours, maybe it's time to consider a smarter alternative. Unless you've got a cadre of roadies at your beck and call, a GK combo bass amplifier is probably the most sensible amp you can get. And just in case you think "sensible" and "fun" don't go hand in hand, check out the Gallien-Krueger MB212. This baby's loaded with killer tone and excellent features, as well as so light you won't think twice about gigging out with it. First off, there's 4-band EQ. Okay, that's a must-have by anyone's standards, but this EQ totally rocks. It uses G.I.V.E (Gate Induced Valve Effect) technology to give the MB212 a killer tube tone. And that's not all!

The MB212's got GK's world-famous Contour switch. Flip that sucker, and it's like you've got a whole different amp! Got the thump you need but still missing the snap? Fire up the piezo horn and add serious attack to your sound. Plus, there's a defeatable limiter to help keep your amp safe and your sound solid. What's more, the MB212 has a balanced XLR direct output - just what you need send your bass to the house PA or your recording rig. Pretty sweet huh? And you all of that from a bass combo that's lights enough and small enough to take anywhere. Isn't it time you gat a Gallien-Krueger MB212?
