I've said my part on the FOR SALE Thread, and I too am not suprised you've been handed a Warwick Endorsement/Sponsership/Direct Sale/Stock Rotation. I believe the company you are getting the goods from should have players that believe in the gear. Have you ever played through a Warwick Amp? Are you sure a ProFet or Tubepath is gonna compete on Build and Sound Quality of your GK? If it goes wrong (and i've heard they do) are Warwick gonna take your amp back to Germany and fix it for you, or send you another? - I don't think so. You'll be down to your local repair tech getting a bill at the end of it. As far as i'm aware the 2 biggest GK users being Duff McKagan and Flea both purchased their own gear before they were famous and later recieved gear FREE from GK as thanks for their loyalty. Thats the real deal! Turn round to Warwick and get some cheap strings! :-p [quote name='EBS_freak' post='876959' date='Jun 24 2010, 10:48 PM']Hang on... this isn't a wind up is it?

Hey Dude Thanks for the update. Glad to see some more RBH cabs on the scene. I used to run a 700rb-II into a 410rbh and that was more then enough for 95% of gigs. I do now run a 2001rb and 2 x 410RBH cabs for the very big gigs, festival appearances and such. Then i use an 800rb with 1 x 410rbh for everything else. I also compete with 2 Marshall stacks at gigs. The reason behind getting the 2001rb was for the following; 1. Distortion Channel 2. Wiring flexibility (all the inputs and outputs are on the rear which is more suited to my rackmount gear) 3. Footswitchable Channels and Tuner Mute (something the SHOULD put on the other models) 4. I have 4 ohm cabs so i can get full power from my 800rb with just one cab. But i cannot run 2 x 4ohm cabs from a 700rb etc. 5. Its looks amazing. 6. I get my gear direct from distributor, which saves me a bucket load. [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='874153' date='Jun 22 2010, 09:22 AM']Just as a personal update for this thread, I got another 210RBH (so that's 700RB-II into 2x210RBHs). Can't imagine I'd ever need a louder amp, when needed I can just take along one of the 210s and it manages (just, but if the space is needed, it's ok). Anyone that uses 2x410RBHs must be insane or deaf, I can't imagine ever needing that much volume..ever. But they do look awesome! hehe[/quote]

We are pretty regimented with our approach to load-ins and outs. Basically we all get there at the same time (doesn't always happen i know) But we unload one car at a time whoever owns the car/gear generally stays with the vehicle until its time to move on to the next car. But remember gear can be stolen inside the venue too, so never leave that un-attended either! [quote name='Ou7shined' post='873368' date='Jun 21 2010, 12:07 PM']I'll bet it was the singer, too busy yapping to chicks or folk from other bands to help with loading and unloading. We had a singer that used to chuck his mic in the back of the van (if he hadn't forgotten it) and say "right lads that's my gear in" and he'd disappear to off to mingle. [/quote]

Ive got a dunlop DD-38 which is there Extra Long one. Give it a go!# [quote name='4 Strings' post='872516' date='Jun 20 2010, 12:05 PM']Just let him know what you want, he'll do as 'normal' as you like, put in straplock holes and any other detail you want[/quote]

Very similar, although i think the 800rb sounds tighter. More studio quality. I dont think the age would have made any difference, considering my 800rb is 14 years old. I now have the 2001rb, mainly cos i wanted more power then my original 700rbII and needed an on-board distortion. This sounds OK at rehearsal volumes, but INCREDIBLE at gigging volumes, this is when it sounds like an 800 on steroids. Ive only used the 800rb once in a live situation, as i only got it a week ago. Looking forward to many gigs with it. [quote name='Etienne' post='854084' date='Jun 1 2010, 08:45 PM']Nice one mate! I'd love to try an 800RB out some time- how does the tone compare with the modern G-K heads (700/1001RB-II)?[/quote]

Sorry to ressurect this thread, but back in December (still after years of searching) i said i wanted an 800rb. I now have one! [quote name='chriswilliams666' post='683210' date='Dec 13 2009, 07:50 PM']Pics please. I want a late 80s 800RB. I bet it sounds great![/quote]

You dont need that. But that would certainly go in my PJ collection. [quote name='cetera' post='842122' date='May 19 2010, 02:46 PM']I've just secured the purchase of this.......incoming in 5 weeks time! Been looking for one for AGES.... can't wait to get it!
