stewartmusic Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Hey everyone! Unfortunately for me I'm selling my GK 700RB MkII that I bought from "Vipa" in early Feb of this year. Fortunately for you its a fantastic amp and a very reasonable price of [b]£300 ono[/b] The amp is in great working condition and sounds like a cannon with the bottom B or a double bass. It has a great Bi-amp built in and I couldn't be happier with the sound! I paid £300 all in (inc travel) to get this amp in Jan and would like to, if possible, make my money back as it is still in the great condition I got it in from Paul and I'm pretty sure that was a great deal as they still retail from [i]GAK for £790!![/i] I have it in Edinburgh just now, will be in Glasgow later in the week and willing to move it via train for the ticket fee (i have a railcard so usually fairly cheap and I don't throw things around as much as a courier!!! The only reason I'm selling this amp is because I'm a student without a car and use a lot of public transport to get to and from gigs and when I'm doubling and taking this amp the taxi drivers aren't that nice!! Im looking for a quick sale as I have my eye on a PJB amp so please send me your PM's fast!! no silly offers though Please help before I send it to the depths of FleaBay Thanks, Dara P.s i also have an Ibanez for sale in the Bass thread and would crack a deal with the two for £370, the bass is selling for £100???
stewartmusic Posted August 14, 2010 Author Posted August 14, 2010 also possibly consider trades for some form of "small" amp

The mini rig looks good but unfortunately its bigger dosent have enough power for what im looking for. Sorry, thanks anyway!! Dara

stewartmusic Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='935163' date='Aug 24 2010, 07:03 PM']This used to me mine.[/quote] If you dont mind, would you be able to share your 2 pennies on the amp, regrading tone sound etc from a non biased basschatter dont suppose your looking for it back??
Kiwi Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I loved it. Just sold it because I was getting severe back pain lifting it up two flights of steps at 2am on a Sunday morning. It's a very versatile and honest amp and if they made a neo/lightweight version I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
phunku Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 DOes this amp get a nice overdriven sound with the boost control?
Delberthot Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I have no experience with the combo but the GK heads are amazing - it won't get dirty, saturated overdrive but you get a very musical dirty sound that is still very clear - hard to explain, you really need to hear one. They're designed to be virtually ikpossible to get a bad sound from them. As far as the price goes - the 700RB II amps on their own normally go for at least £300 on their own so this is a bargain.
stewartmusic Posted August 31, 2010 Author Posted August 31, 2010 Tuesday BUMP, Still for sale, some serious interest however no absolute bites!! I know ive said it before but its a great deal, I got it for cheap and id like to pass it on for cheap!! will also finally get round to adding pics tonight/tomorrow
ThomBassmonkey Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 It's a crime that GK amps go for such little money, they're brilliant pieces of kit. Just to confirm, this is the 700RB-II 1x15 combo, right? That's a crazy good price if so.
stewartmusic Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 Hey Thom, Yes you are absolutely right. It is the Kick back, 1x15 combo with the 700 RB MkII head. Retail on GAK for £790....It is a crime but unfortunately it is the way it is The head its self even goes for £500+ so this as a combo for £275 is a really big steal!!! but nobody seems to notice that just now Hopefully will get some bites from putting the thread back to the top-ish of the list! Dara
Bassassin Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Hi Stewart - is it in Glasgow or Edinburgh at the moment? Jon.
chriswilliams666 Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Someone buy this before i find some way of getting this sent to the other side of the country.
stewartmusic Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 jon, it is in glasgow just now Chris, where about are you? its an absolute steal!!
Bassassin Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 [quote name='stewartmusic' post='1012723' date='Nov 4 2010, 11:08 PM']jon, it is in glasgow just now[/quote] I'm in Edinburgh - any chance of it being this side of the country again? J.
richardd Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 You really need to put up pic's , I am shure it would help your sale, it is a great price for a great combo.GK is the best IMO,
stewartmusic Posted November 5, 2010 Author Posted November 5, 2010 Hey jon, it would be possible to get it to Edinburgh sometime in the next 2 weeks depending on how soon you wanted it and for the small fee of £275 + Train fare

No tearing hurry - I've been looking for a new rig for the last year or so. I do have transport and could certainly come & collect but I have to consider the cost of a 100 mile round trip in a 2.8 turbodiesel 4x4 tank! Will PM you shortly. J.
