Like I said in my last post, they colour the tone a lot and give it a distinctive "GK" sound. So I guess it comes down to whether or not you like that tone. If you do, buy one and you'll probably run it with a flat EQ and tweak to taste. If you don't like it, you probably never will, even with the most comprehensive EQ in the world.
One thing you can't argue with is the build quality (at least of the artist series, which is all I've really used). They're built like tanks.
Best thing the OP can do is go find one and give it a play, you'll be able to figure out pretty quickly whether or not the tone's for you.[/quote]
I can second what Thom is saying, when I played a show with JWP and used his amp, literally my entire band said that it was the best my bass had sounded. GK are f*cking awesome to put it bluntly, at least for me, anyway.
