JGSpector Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Oh my! I've been loving playing through my 700RB II again over recent months and it's reignited my love for GK amps. These new RB Legacy amps have definitely turned my head 2 Quote
DGBass Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I've always had a soft spot for GK bass amps and have owned and used several Backline and RB amps over the years, the last being a wonderful 700RB model. I lost interest in the MB/Legacy and Fusion stuff they moved to in recent times although I have only heard good things about GK class D amps. These new models are quite exciting, and I wonder if GK are acknowledging that in hindsight their RB amps were such good products, they deserve a modern take on a classic design, and that hopefully bass players will be willing to buy a modern up to date RB thats isn't class-d based. No pictures of the 1001RB Legacy, but i'll assume its also a 3U chassis until I see otherwise. I'm glad I kept my rack case, I may need it once these things start to ship 😉 2 Quote
Pea Turgh Posted January 23 Posted January 23 First amp I recorded with was a GK, then n about 1997? Lovely thing. Quote

Minininjarob Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I’ve played briefly though an older model 2001 Rb and those things are terrifyingly powerful. Quote
