    My GK Monster Rig

    in Gear Gallery

    Posted

    I used this rig Friday and Saturday night. And had so many comments about the sound. The vibrations even rattled two glasses off the bar and onto the hard floor! Haha.

    If you fancy a day out, go to GAK in Brighton and check out there GK range. Definately look at the Artist heads and RBH cabs! :rolleyes:




    [quote name='NickH' post='661574' date='Nov 22 2009, 09:39 AM']Damn! That's more than my ex-GF weighs....
    I used to have a bastardised rack rig with an Ampeg 4x10 and another Carvin (yeah, I know) one. The Ampeg weighed about twice as much as the other one but sounded a lot better.
    Good job I'm such a big strapping bloke :) Think I'll go track down a GK rig to playtest.

    Thanks for the info! See you at the physiotherapist :lol:[/quote]

    Hey Nick. They are bloody heavy! The site says 43kg or 96 lbs (Ashdown ABM410T is 36kg, Ampeg is 41kg)

    They're not for the faint hearted but sound incredible.



    [quote name='NickH' post='661177' date='Nov 21 2009, 05:30 PM']How heavy are those 4x10 cabs?
    I'm not familiar with the range, but I like the angled back rather than the traditional square shape. My landlady would be happier if I didn't keep taking chunks out of the wall going up and round the stairs with the protruding corners of my Marshall![/quote]

    Gallien Krueger 700RB-II

    Hey dude

    The reason i am selling is because i have a 2001RB now. Its bigger (biggest) brother. :) Same tone, just more function and power.


    [quote name='JimBobTTD' post='660221' date='Nov 20 2009, 03:15 PM']I've been keeping an eye out for one of these, but you're a few months early for me, and this won't stick around.

    Why are you selling? This seems to be the perfect amp![/quote]

    Gallien Krueger 700RB-II

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Hey Guys

    I have a Great Condition Gallien Krueger 700RB-II for Sale. I think £350 is a sensible price for a sale as they seem to be £500-£600 new.

    If you would like pics i can upload some.

    Collection from Bognor Regis, West Sussex.

    SPEC: [i]The GK 700RB-II Bi-Amp Bass Head delivering (low) 480 Watts @ 4 Ohms, 320 Watts @ 8 Ohms and (high) 50 Watts @ 8 Ohms. 4 band active EQ, 3 voicing filters, variable boost control, -10dB pad, direct output and effects loop.[/i]
    [i]Many players want a little growl in their sound, but due to horn distortion, it is hard to get good sounding overdrive from passive full-range systems.
    The 700RB, 1001RB, 2001RB are bi-amped with a separate 50W amp for driving the horn, so it doesn't distort when you drive the amp hard. As a result, you can get all the growl you want from your lower speakers, while the horn stays clean and articulate. GK amps also put the horn control on the amp front panel, which makes managing your overall sound that much easier.


    Our new Bi-amp feature for the 700RB, 1001RB and 2001RB heads is slightly different than the 800RB. These heads utilize a main woofer amp along with a 50W high frequency amp, which is designed to drive horns only in a bi-amp capable cabinet. A bi-amp cabinet has a special bi-amp input to amplify the horn and the woofers separately which also gives you better separation and clarity between the low and high frequency drivers within a single cabinet. You get more peak power from the woofers since the main amp is not being shared with the horn as it is in passive full-range systems.


    # Low-480W@4ohm, 320W@8ohm, 1 kHz. High-50W@8ohm, 5kHz.
    # Continuously Variable Speed Fan.
    # Ultra low noise S/N>90dB, Clip LED,
    # -10dB Pad, Volume, Mute Switch and Mute LED.
    # 5/4 String Bass, Adjustable Contour and Presence.
    # Bass Specific Series Four Band Active.
    # Boost, Tweeter Level w/ Hi-Cut Switch and Woofer Level with Crossover Switch.
    # XLR, Ground Lift, Pre/Post Switch and Level Control.
    # Send, Return and Tuner Out.
    # Two 1/4" and Two Bi-Amp Connectors.
    # 16.5 lbs.
    # 17.5"W x 3.5"H x 8"D [/i]

    There's always time to trade your Aguilar in for a GK :)

    [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='659571' date='Nov 19 2009, 07:56 PM']Nice....... :rolleyes: I was after a GK setup a while ago. If the Aguilar never came up,I

    An absolute bugger to move around, but so worth it in the end. Big really is beautiful in the bass world. I did have to get a Van when i started using the 410RBH cabs.

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='659687' date='Nov 19 2009, 09:44 PM']Great looking rig! Must be a PIA to move around though...

    Good to see another West Sussex Basschatter by the way![/quote]

    Hey Guys, thanks for your comments.

    I don't play in a GNR Tribute, but i would if i looked like him. I really don't. I do know most of the songs he's played throughout his career.

    With regards to the 400/700RB argument im sure will go on. But i actually have a 700RB-II that i now don't use. However i will use it for rehearsals and smaller gigs i'm sure. These are amazing amps and everyone should try them. They definately have the the Growl we all know and love.

    If you're local, you're welcome to come blow the dust out my flat.

    [quote name='sifi2112' post='659433' date='Nov 19 2009, 05:10 PM']Nice looking rig !!

    Looking at getting a GK 400RB or 700RB (got a 15" 2U cab collecting dust) .. anyone got preference between the two ?
    Cab has kappalite 8Ohm driver btw but have a big rig for larger gigs .. I want to experience that GK growl !?!

    cheers

    PS. I am after a shock-mount 8u Case for my Amp, Wireless, Furman, Tuner, FX and Vent if anyone has one lying around?

    [quote name='chriswilliams666' post='658757' date='Nov 18 2009, 11:49 PM']As some of you may know i am a big Duff McKagan fan. I love his sound and my rig is inspired by his touring rig.

    Here it is...

    Damn, i'm after an 8u Shockmount! Anyone?[quote name='bassbluestew' post='657184' date='Nov 17 2009, 04:44 PM']As I stated these are top of the range pro quality and the bought for prices are listed.

    Of course you can get cheaper, but you won't get better, and personally I think £160 for a 4U Shockmount rack of this quality / condition is a steal. Have a look at the Flightcase warehouse and see how much pro quality shockmount racks go for - it'll scare you.

    A guy i work with is selling his Son's Blackstar HT5 Combo. He purchased this hoping he could get away with gigging this at small venues. He plays in a rock band and its really not powerful enough for this application. This is probably the best amp around for a decent recording tone, as well as rehearsing.

    This amp won the coveted "Guitarist Choice" Award
    The item is Boxed and as new, with everything included.

    [b]I believe he is looking for £250 for it as it is as new, but maybe open to offers? Collection in Bognor Regis.[/b]

    Here is a spec and pic.

    [i]"The HT-5 is the ultimate studio and practice amp, packing all the great tone and innovative features of the award-winning HT valve pedals into a two channel, footswitchable valve amp format. The patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and any where in between. So now you can effectively design your own tone and finally find ‘the sound in your head’."[/i]

    Hey dude, I have a set of the following tuners going. They are top quality Gotoh Reverse-Wound as found on vintage Fenders. What you reckon?


    Great condition although one tuner has a few tiny scratches on them.

    Could maybe deal for ropey/worn versions as these bits are going on a relic...

    Will also sell - looking for best offers...[/quote]

    E series Fender Japan Special £400

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    Hey Guys and Mr Buritto.

    I thought you would of messaged me first, knowing my Duff stuff.

    This is very similar to my Jazz Bass Special from the same era, just without the Jazz pickup and neck.

    This is from the Fender Japan "Boxer" Series, and the model number was PB-551. They are rare as rocking-horse sh*te and are killer basses for the money. I have purchased the more popular Jazz Bass Specials for under £400. So the asking price maybe a little steep? All i can remember spec wise is it should have a P-4D Hot Rod Pickup and a TBX pot, and sold for 55,000 YEN? I saw one sell a while ago for $510

    I love this bass, however i do not have £400!

    You should buy it Buritto, revive your love for G N R! I know your secret!

    Best 4x10 cab on the market right there. I'd have it if it was the 4ohm version. Good luck with the sale dude.

    [quote name='Reverend' post='649183' date='Nov 8 2009, 09:50 PM']Hey,

    I'm selling my GK 410 RBH Cab. It's the 8 Ohm version. Really great clear sound at high volume, especially when used with the GK bi-amp heads. I'm downsizing my rig because I'm leaving my band, getting the 2x10 GK cab instead.

    This is GK's top of the line cab, and I'm selling it with a Silverstone amp cover worth £65.

    It's in good nick and I'm looking for £450 inc cover. Pickup from East London area.

    Here's the pics.
