As with all our products proudly wearing the Marshall badge,
quality and tone are of utmost importance to ensure our
amplifiers remain unrivalled within the music industry. The
Marshall R&D team have worked relentlessly in the design of
our most comprehensive bass range ever offered by
Marshall Amplification. We asked bass players what they
wanted and have catered to their demands with new features
and various speaker configurations within the combo’s and
speaker extension cabinets.
MB4410 Combo
The daddy of the combo’s has to be the MB4410. The 450 Watt houses
4 x10" speakers and HF horn. Big enough to sound monstrous, yet
transportable enough to fit in the car, the combo booms with low
frequency bottom-end. The MB4410 features two channels (Modern and
Classic) including a separate EQ for each. Modern features include
Bass, Treble, parametric Mid and switchable compressor with variable
level control. The Classic channel with its ECC83 pre-amp valve includes
a Boost switch and has a 3-band passive tone network. Like the
MB4210, you can mix the two channels either from the front panel or
from the supplied two-way footswitch. The overall volume of the blend is
adjustable in addition to the balance between the two channels.
Features: Series Effects Loop, balanced Line Out with switchable modes
(pre and post), external jack and Speakon ® speaker outputs, CD input,
Limiter, Master Volume and a Headphones socket.
MB450H Head
This powerhouse of a head wallops a massive 450 Watts of total bass
power when connected to two extension cabinets. All that’s left to do now
is choose your preferred choice of cabinets so you can plug in and rock!
The two channels (Modern and Classic) are both present, each with
separate EQ. Modern features Bass, Treble, parametric Mid and a
compressor. The Classic channel with its ECC83 pre-amp valve includes
a Boost switch and has a 3-band passive tone network with three
different voices. Like the higher wattage combo’s the MB450 has the
option of blending the two channels either from the front panel or via a
supplied two-way footswitch.
Features: Series Effects Loop, balanced Line Out with switchable modes
(pre and post), external jack and Speakon ® speaker outputs, CD input,
Limiter, Master Volume and a Headphones socket. The Modern channel
has a switchable compressor with variable level control. The Classic
channel includes a Boost switch.
MBC115, MBC410, MBC810
After listening to bass players requirements, we made the decision to
give you options of the most favoured and asked after extension cabinets
to complement your bass head or combo.
Firstly, the MBC115 is a 300 Watt, 4 Ohm bass cabinet. Sturdily built and
more than ready for life on the road, this speaker cab contains one
15" speaker with an HF horn. Next in the line is the ever-popular 4x10"
cabinet. Containing four colossal sounding 10" speakers, you are guaranteed
to get clear low-end tones roaring through the club. This 600 Watt, 4 Ohm
speaker cabinet has an HF horn.
The bigger brother of the 4x10", the MBC810, not only sounds the part,
it also looks the part. The mighty 1200 Watt, 4 Ohm beast contains
8x10" speakers with an HF horn.
