I have the 500 Fusion S. It is superb. I've actually bought a used Bassman 100T which is my favourite but the GK is very good, just different. I thought about selling it but I think I'd regret it. The EQ is really good and the drive channel is pretty versatile. Lots of knobs and options so it's probably not one for those who don't like twiddling....

Ah yes, very good point!

Saw this on ebay last week, wonder if it's a BC'er? Tempted to have a look.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293653473913

Really useful info - I'm very tempted by a couple of MIJ Jazzes on eBay. My resistance is weakening!

Managed to snaffle a used Bassman 100T after selling my first one due to size and weight. Now I have a car again, I thought I'd indulge in the valves once more! What a glorious bit of kit it is. It really sings and the drive is very versatile. Even on 1/4 power, it pushes out decent volume; I can't wait to try it at the next rehearsal. Quite a different beast to the GK in overall character and the overdrive, both with their benefits. The EQ, with its push/pull bass and treble pots, is really useful and you can get that scooped sound pretty easily. Now the question is "can I justify keeping the GK?" Might have to grab another cab and try both at the same time.....

I find mine has a slightly more twangy feel than other P basses. It's one I will never sell as the neck on it is superb.

Sold a bridge to Bill; nice and easy, good comms and a happy customer! Cheers chap

Good stuff. Glad these guys are getting some attention, 'tis rather lovely what they are putting out.

They're stuck on, not screwed. I bought an ex-demo model from Polar UK so I don't know if they were packaged separately or come affixed. Might be worth asking the guys at Polar as they are the main GK distributor in the UK.

These are what I have on the bottom of my Fusion S, which I expect would be the same as the Legacy.

I agree, quite frustrating! Photos just uploaded.

I can measure my Vintera if that helps...

I sold the SM that accompanied my BB2 a while back. How foolish! Rarely see them come up for sale which is probably testament to how useful they are, especially when combined with a larger cab.

Yes, all pots and cabling

Yes, really easy. The connections are simply 'slot in'. One thing to bear in mind is making sure the body routing is wide enough to accept the connectors (around 4mm I think) else you have to either widen the rout or cut off and re-wire the connectors once threaded through from pickup gap to the control cavity.

Correct, in my experience. With my overdrive settings it does indeed sound fizzy via DI and likewise through the cab with HF driver fully engaged. I therefore use mine with it up set to around 25% ; it's a good blend of cab voicing with just enough high-end definition.

Good choice! Got my identical bass strung with flats and fretboard dyed a bit darker. I found the truss rod needed tightening to get the action where I wanted it (now at 1.5mm) but if you've bought used, I imagine the previous owner has sorted it.

Also consider 'Lugs' - it's a chap in Northern Ireland who does a range of options for drivers, colours etc and aren't as pricey as 'big name' brands. https://www.facebook.com/LugsCustomIEM/
