thanks mate i'll check it out

thanks guys.yes i've checked for loose wires etc & all looks well but i'm not good with electrickery so i'll get it checked out first. as for the speaker i think i'll probably go the neo route,maybee a 500w 4ohm & just bin the horn,but your probably right the cross over is most lilkey.i took the speaker out & it looks fine (to a numpty like me anyway)

hey thanks you guys--luv ya

[quote name='dood' post='170391' date='Apr 5 2008, 07:11 PM']If you bought the amp from a shop, why don't you just take it back again and explain the situation. You are perfectly entitled to do so within 14 days without any quibble. Even if you bought from the internet.[/quote] hehe always wanted an Ampeg but the missus said they were too expensive. but thanks any way Dood

[quote name='Kubickiboy' post='170411' date='Apr 5 2008, 07:54 PM']I recently bought a 4ohm 15" Neo replacement speaker by Celestion from a place called Lean business. Put it in my Hartke XL cab to replace the blown Hartke speaker and it works a treat! And it's probably a bit smoother than the old one. Only about 60 odd quid as well.[/quote] cheers i'll try to find a web address for them-unless you know it.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='170377' date='Apr 5 2008, 06:45 PM']You need to check the speakers technical spec or get a replacement from GK. I think they are distributed by SMART who have a member on here. Its not like any 15inch speaker will do. Why didn't you check whether it was the amp or cab before buying a new one, or was it a crafty gas attack.[/quote] you know it just don't tell the missus.

oh crap i was shure my GK head unit had crapped out at last weeks gig.so much so that i've just bought a new Ampeg head unit-rushed home like a dememted twat-plugged it into my GK speaker & ........................................................................... .................................................................................................... ............................................................................ wait for it ..........................................................................................ready..... ........................................................... NOWT !. turns out there's nothing wrong with the GK head unit its the speaker thats buggered i just blew £700 ish & now me speakers knackered. the horn works ok but the woofer's silent-oh poo. hope its fixable which is a point its i need a new speaker can you buy a 4ohm 15" speaker & could i fit it into my 115SBX-11 cab would it work ok. cheers guys, think i need a beer. GK 1001RB-11 anyone ?

cheers guys,Ampeg quandry over as i now have a brand new SVT3PRO sitting on top of my knackered GK speaker . there was nowt wrong with my GK head its the speaker thats bollocksed. oh well its only money, any one want a GK 1001RB-11 ?

thanks guys-much appreciated

thanks for the replies guys,looks like an SVT3PRO then what do you rekon to this one on the bay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMPEG-SVT-3-PRO-Bass-Amplifier-Head-under-1-year-old_W0QQitemZ290217685127QQihZ019QQcategoryZ58719QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMPEG-SVT-3-PRO-Bass...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] i'm a tad concerned about the modification its had. also what's it worth-i know whenever i've sold amps before i,ve struggled to get even half the price i paid new.so it seems it might be a bit dear to me. cheers.

mid gig last saturday my GK 1001RB-11 decided to pack in (along with mucho burnt electrical odours ) which really pissed me off no end ,its only just 2 years old & has only done 20 gigs or so.(i use a combo for practice) so its in for repair, but as i no longer have much confidence in it i'm thinking of buying an Ampeg head. so my quandry is do i get an SVT3PRO or an SVT450H,as both seem to be a similar price. I'm after a nice classic tube amp sound but don't have enough dosh for a real one-bugger- none of my local shops have these in stock so i'll probably have to mail order it,any advice on which will give me the closest to a vintage tube sound ? BTW i'll be playing a MIA 62 reissue P bass & using my GK 115SBX-11 cab (8ohm) cheers Neil.

lol nice collection you've got there Chris.
