Forcemaster Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Special thanks to Molan for persuading Josh to go ahead with the 4x12 idea!

Josh Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) [quote name='rockinbassman' post='430276' date='Mar 10 2009, 11:34 AM']Really? What do you find so different?[/quote] GK are incredibly smooth sounding, the control over the mids is exactly what I want as well, whereas on the TD650 I was constantly wrestling with it and always ended up quite annoyed with the mids for being so damn irritating to control! If you want simple control over the mids and a much more warmer sounding head, I would happily suggest a GK 1001RBII. Also, the head runs so quietly as well. Edited March 10, 2009 by Josh
rockinbassman Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Yeah, im looking for something with a bit more warmth, the EBS are a bit to clean cut for me know. Just need to shift my gear!

Just need to shift my gear![/quote] I don't know about clean, I'd say they are very harsh sounding. If I had the treble and bright controls cut, and the tweeters off, I would still get a nasty harsh tone, no warmth at all, and at loud volumes it just was pretty muddy and the tone became indistinct. Also I found the tube/boost controls next to useless.
Forcemaster Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 This is interesting because I had the same view you have of EBS of my old GK setup! I always found it too harsh with not enough low end. But my EBS has a really nicely defined low mid that I love, that doesn't sound clacky or harsh. Just goes to show everything is subjectivve.
rockinbassman Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Yeah im in no rush to get rid of mine to be honest. Although they are still here if anyone was after Josh's cabs!!
josh3184 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 glad you got this sorted out man and are enjoying the GK head!
