Hybrids: Fender Bassman 500 and GK 550 compared?

Hey there! Out of interest why just these two? What is it you're looking to achieve?

There was quite a lot of discussion about hybrids generally in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/303863-hybrid-ampsthe-best-of-all-worlds/"]this hybrids thread[/url] earlier in the year. I think the GK got a mention, but I don't recall the Fender coming up, although in the last but one post by gsgbass on the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/306930-best-amp-head-500w-to-1000w-youve-ever-owned-or-should-definitely-avoid/"]best amp head thread[/url] he's using a Fender Bassman and the very next post, as it happens - amazing coincidence, is by a GK MBFusion fan so they maybe able to share their thoughts with you and let you know a bit more about their amps?

Hope that helps.

PS have you considered the [url="https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/NEXUS-SLS/bass-amp-heads/laney-nexus-sls-500w-mini-bass-head"]Laney Nexus SLS[/url]? I've not come across anyone who has bought one of these yet on BC, but they do look like a lot of hybrid amp for the money and are British made.

Ah yes, I did see those threads - I should have looked more closely. The Handbox does look rather interesting I must say....

Please just don't mention it to WoT, otherwise you'll just be encouraging him to add further to his 132 posts on his own [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282884-the-handbox-amplification-thread/"]Handbox thread[/url]! :D

Still interested to find out what you're looking for in your next amp? If you ask him nicely Osiris has put together a really useful guide to some of the things we should be thinking through before getting a new amp; it's actually bloody brilliant / useful - I'm sure he'd be happy to PM it to you.

Btw - how's the Promethean 3110 going? My back hasn't really been best pleased with me since I sold that to you!

I think there's more than that now. I'm just a lone voice in crowd, shouting to be heard :D
