I would be interested in the cab if you didn’t want it. Depends on price of course!

That looks really good and should sound thunderous with the amp. If the board inside has flexed when the jack socket was loose the tracks might have become cracked so check it over when you next disassemble it to make sure it’s all ok. I used a jack to speakon cable for my 400 to my modern gk cab, had it made for me in the correct length. Wish my 400 had a speakon output as it’s more secure but it seems to be working well as is anyway.

Eh???

I think I could fix one if I got the chance, I do have a background in electronics and I’d love to have a go and bringing one back from the dead so let me know if you ever find one.

Looks great! And you’re never getting your Mk3 one back, sorry, I love it too much!! On the plus side a few people have tried my amp out at gigs and they love it, so at least it’s being used to spread the GK joy around. I use mine with a modern GK CX210 and it sounds glorious. I used to wonder why you owned so many but I am constantly on the hunt for another GK, but I’d actually want a 700rb just to have a bit more power available - not been short of it to be honest but I’d like to try one and it’s always good to have spares!!

What do you mean?

Bit late to this, but to be honest the £180 Squire Sonic p bass I bought new recently was better quality than that. Very very poor. Name and shame if they don’t sort the issues out ASAP.

The 400rb on its own as a head is amazing, I thought of taking the head out of a combo and making a new head and ditching the rest of the combo but I’d have to make an outer case. Also the GK sounds better the more you turn it up.

Although I’m a relative newbie to bass just a few months after starting I had a thread on here where I asked about old heads into new cabs. If the old heads sound so good why not pair them with a modern lightweight cab? Yes a valve head will be heavy still but there’s loads of solid state heads that sound amazing, sell for peanuts and have power and heft for days. And even if a solid state head is a bit heavy they are relatively small compared to a big old combo so still quite easy to move around. I now have a GK 400rb head in a rack mount case (can carry in one hand) going into a modern GK 210 cab. It sounds flipping amazing, the wattage of 230w into my cab absolutely decimates 500w (and more) class D heads and even better I can take it apart and fix it myself if needed. Not that it will be likely as it’s 25/30 years old and works like new. Everyone who hears my setup says it sounds amazing. I genuinely can’t see why you’d want a new school head - unless you don’t have a car or have physical impairments that severely limit your lifting ability - when it can be this good with older stuff.

I love blue basses so much I often wonder why anyone would want another colour. 😂😂

My new highly modified Squire Sonic Precision Bass (see thread elsewhere). I love blue basses.

It is through an Origin effects Cali 76 and a little Ampeg preamp too, I can get a dry sound in a week when I am back home.

Err not sure if this will work. This is played with a pick through my little GK combo and it is picking up a bit more mechanical noise than you would hear in real life. NBD SQUIRE SONIC CUSTOM.m4a
