    Hey Dude, I want an old 800RB. Do you know what year it is? I bet it sounds huge! If you ever wanna sell it let me know, or trade for my 700RB-II! [quote name='casapete' post='681052' date='Dec 11 2009, 10:21 AM']Love GK amps - got a couple of them. 700 RB-11 and a 'vintage' 800RB. The 700 is my main gigging amp which I've had for over two years with no problems whatsoever. Its loud & sounds very 'musical' through a variety of cabinets. Its got great tone controls along with the boost facility which gives a nice bit of growl too. It is also a very manageable 16.5 lbs in a 2 rack space,so whilst not in the Markbass league still makes it an easy carry-in. The 800 is just sublime, my fave amp head other than an SVT which I've always regretted selling. It sounds very similar to the 700, just that bit more old school-y perhaps. Again,works well with most cabs-last night it was running a 2x15 EV cab and really pumped the sound out great. Not quite as loud/versatile as the 700,but enough for a non-twiddler like me. The guy who services my gear isn't a massive fan of GK stuff-says they are nothing special in the build dept, and I have to agree with previous post re the dislike of plastic jack sockets which I believe is across the range (?). However, I've had no reliabilty probs with either amp over the last few years, and think that the design of their stuff just works whatever! Cheers.[/quote]

    BUMP - as this is now being sold by "gafbass02" - check his thread out for stuff he's selling... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70513"]Visit Gaftbass02's Thread[/url] [quote name='chriswilliams666' post='678621' date='Dec 8 2009, 11:04 PM']Sorry guys. This is now sold. I can't believe how much interest i had. Thanks to everyone who was interested.[/quote]

    You should give the Artist series hads and RBH cabs a go for the real GK tone. But glad to hear you had a good experiance. [quote name='Moos3h' post='680785' date='Dec 10 2009, 11:01 PM']I've just moved away from GK. I really liked the tone, sounded awesome but I could not resist the temptation of an Orange amp. I'd happily get another GK though, I thought the build (Backline Series) wasn't perhaps the best (plastic jack sockets etc) but generally speaking I've nothing but positives to heap on the brand. Cheers, James[/quote]

    Hey guys. Just wondering if there are any fans of GK out there like me? If so, what have you got and why?

    Exactly what it says on the tin. Waiting here for a custom build, but i don't have the time or money to put it to use. I am looking for £40 for the body, and £5 for shipping. Obviously you can collect it for £40 for the body only. Pics on request.

    I use a GK Rig with a Head and two cabs. For smaller gigs i wanna take the pandora, a Phonic Max1500 Power Amp and one cab. I very rarely DI to a PA direct. The bigger gigs i would use the GK rig and its internal DI. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='677008' date='Dec 7 2009, 06:58 PM']Depends what you mean by a PA amp. If you take a feed from the Pandora headphone socket to a mixing desk, then you'll take your output through the PA and you're sort-of using the Pandora as a DI box. That should work, though you might get a rather distorted sound. If you take the feed direct to a power amp and use that to drive your cab, then I suspect you'll be way short of enough signal to drive the power amp properly. Someone who knows a lot more than me will be along in a second ...[/quote]

    A tenner? Cos i don't want one! Like i said i had one and was a great bit of kit. Why you wanna convert to a six string anyway? Nutter! [quote name='lscolman' post='676543' date='Dec 7 2009, 11:16 AM']Hi Chris, I just listed it for what others were asking. Not really done too much research on current prices. Always open to offers... Be as cheeky as you like ;-) Cheers, Lee[/quote]

    Hey Guys I am after the quickest, easiest and cheapest way of getting a spare rig for rehearsals and small gigs. I have a Pandora and a PA Power Amp. Would this work together? Has anyone got any experiance in doing this? Thanks for your time.

    Hey dude. Don't wanna sound rude, because i am honestly offering some info. I think it might be worth lowering your price. Since this pedal was discontinued, prices for new ones have gone real low. £180-£199 now at Sounds Live Shop. I had one of these and they are brilliant for getting a great DI Sound if you don't take an amp along. Also very versatile as a Pre-Amp running into a Power Amp and Cab. Hope someone snaps this up! BUMP! [quote name='lscolman' post='675271' date='Dec 5 2009, 09:24 PM']up![/quote]
  14. chriswilliams666
    These are discontinued too, so get em while you can. They're gonna be CHEAP! [quote name='Sibob' post='674942' date='Dec 5 2009, 02:09 PM']So you're saying it's 1000watts at 2ohms then!? But yes, 2x 500watts at 4ohms (non-bridgable). Probably around 350watts at 8ohms Si[/quote]

    Good Luck with the Sale. Great Flanger pedal. Just traded mine for a chorus. BUMP! [quote name='burno70' post='673008' date='Dec 3 2009, 11:44 AM']bump for the BF-2[/quote]

    Is it me or is this an absolute bargain? Especially with the Ricky situation at the mo! Wish i had a grand spare. BUMP!
  17. chriswilliams666
    Hope this helps your sale. I'm a big fan of GK, as you can probably see from my Signature.

    I have a Johnson White P-Bass here if anyone is after a project bass. Its immaculate, as new. Again solid Alder body, good hardware! [quote name='raze' post='672197' date='Dec 2 2009, 03:55 PM']LMFAO I think a price might have done your sale more good that a load of abuse I personally cant even be arsed to ead the rest of the advert if I cant see a price[/quote]

    Thats definately the old mk1 version. Less wattage then the newer one too. [quote name='happynoj' post='672186' date='Dec 2 2009, 03:38 PM']Will you split the rig? Also, is it definitely the 700rb-II? From the photo it looks like it isn't the 'II' version.[/quote]

    A genuine Ass-Hole. Shame his Certificate looks more fake! [quote name='john_the_bass' post='670334' date='Nov 30 2009, 07:46 PM']From his reaction when I told him it was bullshit, I think he knows exactly what he's got. He's relisted it and added the photo with the crap authentication letter.[/quote]
  23. chriswilliams666
    Do you reckon the seller purchased it and actually believes its a Gibson or is he just being a complete knob? [quote name='john_the_bass' post='670289' date='Nov 30 2009, 07:03 PM']I wouldn't normally post something like this, particularly as it's a guitar, but anyway. This LP - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330381576449"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=330381576449[/url] - is not a genuine Gibson. The guy is trying to pass it off as such and has produced the hookey letter of authentication (which I believe Gibson didn't do in 1971) to try and substantiate his claim that it's real. I know this because I went to look at it and nearly lost me rag because the guy had messed me around so much that it being a fake was the final straw. I think it's an Antoria or a CSL that's had a gold Gibson logo screenprinted onto it - it has a bolt-on neck with a made in Japan neck plate. If that doesn't give it away!! Anyway, I've reported it to ebay, but they've not removed it yet. If you're tempted (and you would be because a proper one of that age is worth £2.5 - £3k), don't bother.[/quote]

    Woo Another GK RIG! Im rockin the 2001RB and 410RBH! You gotta get another cab dude! What are the casters you're using? The GK ones are naff, lol. [quote name='jimi_1985' post='666565' date='Nov 26 2009, 06:45 PM']It has an all tube pre-amp paired up with the same solid state power amp used in the 1001RB. It gets such tubey tones with the gain boosted, would highly recommend![/quote]
