Dingus Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I love those amps. Easy to get a great sound and reputedly very reliable . Enjoy it.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Yep Looking forward to it but this time if anything goes wrong I can even drive to the shop in Newcastle. No exchange charges either. Lost approx. £50 from the Thomann Kilo disaster. Not Thomann's fault at all and they were excellent to deal with. Think a little more research should have been done on the Kilo which seems to have a few issues when you read the reviews from various bass sites. I've read reviews from as many as I could before deciding on the GK 1001RBii and it was down to either this the 2001RB or Ampeg SVT4 but decided I didn't need the power from the 2001RB and Ampeg aren't getting great reviews on reliability at the moment. At almost half the cost of the 2001RB the 1001RB is a great value for money amp with some really nice features. Of course there's always the issue of Amp GAS after a few yrs and we'll wait and see. At one stage I had 3 amps anyways so who knows. Dave Edited September 29, 2013 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Forgot to mention delay in delivery as its a bank holiday up here so its now Monday. Just in case you all thought I had lost the plot again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Have i put it in wrong section ? Was only a general comment that i had bought one rather than a review or anything like that. If so apologies. There are that many sections nowadays us old fellas get confused Other than that I'm fair impressed with it so far.

dave_bass5 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Sorry, i wasnt having a go, just pointing out that we have a Amps and Cabs section (its always been there). Its a nice amp, i just found the GK tone wasn't for me. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Until I've tested it at volume its gonna be hard to tell exactly how the tone sounds but at the moment with the Boost at 12-9 it gives a reasonable warm sound in comparison to flat sound which is very clean and sharp. Definitely not a fan of Hartke now I must admit but its always nice getting new gear. Exciting to say the least. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
