Pikefloyd Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Stumbled on this, which is an interesting read if you're into GK gear [url="http://www.instituteofbass.com/bass_gear/"]http://www.instituteofbass.com/bass_gear/[/url] Quote
Delberthot Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Dang, now I want a Fusion 550. must...........resist. Quote
steve-soar Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 What a brilliant interview. I never realised GK hade such a history. And what a great site too. Quote
The Funk Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Very interesting article. I wonder who he was referring to when talking about his major competitor with the valve sound... Ampeg? Quote
niceguyhomer Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 [quote name='JD1' post='69684' date='Oct 4 2007, 08:39 PM']Has anyone seen or tried a Fusion 550?[/quote] Never even seen one in the flesh...but I'd like to try one. Quote
Pikefloyd Posted October 5, 2007 Author Posted October 5, 2007 The Fusion 550 is very tempting! No idea of price yet though Quote
Waldo Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I'm suprised that no-one seems to have heard about the fusion 550, it was announced probably about 2 years ago? It looks amazing, but I've lost respect for GK as they said it would be out last June and there still doesn't seem to be any sign of it coming out any time soon! It's stupid really as I'd put the money aside to buy it last year but since it never materialised, I went out and got something else. Same goes for the Neo 4x10's that they said would be coming out. Their loss really... Quote
JD1 Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Yeah - first saw it in Bass Player and was looking forward to trying one. They've been like hens teeth though. Maybe they've had teething problems? I asked Sounds Live and they said Beyer were quoting 6 - 8 weeks delivery. Quote
G-bitch Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks for that - very interesting, and prompted me to think about getting a GK head as a polar opposite of my Ampeg V4! Quote
shaundixon666 Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 [quote name='G-bitch' post='72062' date='Oct 10 2007, 11:09 AM']Thanks for that - very interesting, and prompted me to think about getting a GK head as a polar opposite of my Ampeg V4![/quote] Im using a Gallien Krueger Backline 600 300watt head and a GK backline 115BX 1x15" cab. For the price they are bloody good! tried out some other amps in the same price range and they didnt really compare to my ears. Quote
Delberthot Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I haven't been able to find any other tranny amp anywhere near as good as the GK stuff. I used an 800RB for years and then went off on an amp expedition only to come back to the 700RB II. the dogs danglies Quote
Jack Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Whilst I dont agree with some of the generalisations Bob stated, I really enjoyed reading that article. Of course, nowhere near as much as I enjoy my GK stuff! Quote
