sploot Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Has anyone ever had any experience of GK bass amps ? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran_imray Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I had a 700RB/210 combo for a couple of years, imo the best amps you can get for the money. Great punch and really flexible tone wise. I only sold it to get an Ampeg SVT half stack because something about the Ampeg sound grabbed me, but one of the best sounds I have ever had on stage was the GK head through the Ampeg cab. GK amps are definately worth a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmaxwell Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 reliability issues with them, but they do pretty much make one of the best solid state gritty tones you can hear. see the jesus lizard for a good exampledecent for the money and always carry decent headroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonie Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 All GK amps I've used have had a fantastic tone. Really sweet pieces of kit. Well worth trying out if nothing else but buy on feel and sound, not other peoples word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Rocker Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I've used one a couple of times and they sounded fantastic - not sure what model it was but had a really tight, deep but punchy tone. If you can be arsed, here's a wee sound clip from a recent gig we did.... EBS do sound fantastic too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
