[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1348144692' post='1809944'] I'd love to, but North Yorks is a long way from Northampton to try a rig Having said that, we are going to be in Brid sometime, not sure wifey would approve of a diversion [/quote] She'd love an excuse to visit Harrogate's excellent shops, surely!

I like this thread a lot, but I've just got nothing to say right now. If its still here in a couple of weeks, I might have something to say then.

If you've ever likely to be up in North Yorkshire you can try my GK MB Fusion and Barefaced Compact. I've also got a Trace Elliot 15" cab which works very nicely with the GK (I'll be selling in a couple of weeks when my Compact No 2 arrives - probably for £100 - pm me if interested). Its Lozz's old MB Fusion I've got and his description of the sound is accurate - they're fantastic amps.

I don't know whether I like funk or not. I love The Meters, and James Brown. I hate Tower ot Power. Do I like funk?

I might be up for that. We've had a gig rescheduled fom that night so I'm free.

I had a GK700PB 115 combo and it was plenty loud enough. As mentioned above, its heavy and for that reason I moved to a Barefaced Compact and lightweight head (currently a GK MB Fusion). I did manage one gig with the 700RB + the Compact and they worked extremely well together and were way too loud for anything I'd need. Funnily enough I also have a TE 1153 which sounds great coupled with the Compact, but that is making way for another Compact shortly

Yep, I think the sounds is similar. I thinks its all to do with the low and high mid controls. Great amps.

I've benefitted from Lozz's decision to change his set up. I used his old GK MB Fusion for the first time at practice last night and I have to say, its exactly the sound I want. I'm playing through a BF Compact (with another on the way). I was quite happy with my PF500 too, but the GK has much better mids, and the carefully overdriven sound I got from channel B was fantastic. Overall I'd say its very close to the GK 700RB I had until a year ago.

I bought Lozz's GK MB Fusion after he responded to my WTB post. The deal went very smoothly, dispatch was prompt, comms were excellent and the amp is in excellent condition - Lozz really looks after his gear. You can deal with Lozz with complete confidence.

Me too. The Etta James/Dr John version of I'd rather Go Blind the it links to is pretty darn good too.

Just picked up a flight case from Matt this morning. Excellent deal and a lovely chap. Thanks mate.

Anyone had a chance to compare the Reidmar with a GK MB Fusion and an Ampeg PF500? Also anyone near Harrogate/Leeds have one I could try?

Are you sure the T-Rex stuff isn't isolated? According to [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/power-supplies/pid14724/cid591/t-rex-fuel-tank-junior-5-way-pedal-power-supply.asp"]this[/url] it is?

The Meters (George Porter on bass), The Temptations.
