mikeh Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) Im looking as possibly trading my GK 1001 RB II amp for a MB SA450. My amp is in excellent nick, and sounds amazing just looking at maybe something smaller/lighter. Edited November 4, 2007 by mikeh
mikeh Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 Bump , I will consider other light weight amps with cash adjustment either way depending on amp.
dave_bass5 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Good move. i sold my GK to fund a LMII (i already had a SA450). I liked the GK sound but felt the MB sound was nicer and fuller while being cleaner. Good luck.
mikeh Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 TBH Dave after abing with a MB LM II I found the GK had it on sound, Im just trying to make my rig as small as possible. I will also take cash offers now.

mikeh Posted November 1, 2007 Author Posted November 1, 2007 Well give me an idea of the amount you have in mind Although considering the GK is overkill Im thinking the Iamp may be aswell. But I am possibly interested.

bass_ferret Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Not being funny Mike but it goes like this. GK amps and GK cabs have a unique synergy. The amps and cabs have a built in bi-amp using the right cables. You have been using a GK amp with a.n.other cab with which cable? Try Homers GK cabs before you make a rash decision.
minty fresh death Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 nvm i've just looked up the weight of the gk1001rb and it's 18 lbs, guess I thought the gbe400 was light because i'm used to handleing tube amps!
