Hey all you GKs! (pronounced geeks)

[Mr Light]

Thats' exactly what I like about the GK stuff. I noticed you play an SM-500 which has a great sounding pre and is considered by many to be a classic.I used to play an SM-400S myself, however I find that the GK pre sounds much more like my bass does straight to the board and requires much less EQ tweaking to find a pleasing sound. Anyways, just my 2 cents. That's all.

Don't be modest,

Your 2 cents is appreciated, always.

I am getting more of the natural sound of my bass since I 12 o'clocked everything, with treble/transparency and bass at 2 o'clock. I always keep my bass slightly boosted on the bass itself, as well, with mids and treble centered. Unless, I really need to cut through, then it's mid-boosting time!

But as I continue to love Ampeg, I can't help but think how great it would be to have neodynium cabs on hand. I know Ampeg just debuted some practice amps with neo speakers, which makes me wonder who's spying on who these days.

Hey, maybe you can tell me what the difference(s) is (are) between the Backline Series and the rest.

Just a question..

What would be a good small head/112 setup? GK of course.

I'm looking at the Neo 700/112 combo or the equivalent separates (700RB-II and the Neo112.) Although the 400RB-IV coupled with the Neo112 would fit the bill as well.

 

[Figjam]

The 700rb-II with the Neo 112 does look like a good combination. Would cost about $1000 as well.

Ill definitely keep that in mind when i change my rig up next year.

Figgy-baby,

Try the link Randy provided ( http://www.rmcaudio.com/ ). I got a qoute that was pretty nice on the combo. Haven't tried the separates tho.

PM me if interested. Also just as easy to go to the website and get a qoute. Don't want to advertise the price out of respect to other retailers.

Edit: I just submitted a price qoute for the separates. I can PM them to you once I get them if you want.

I've pretty much gone GK now, with exception to the B2R pictured on top. That'll give way to a 1001RB-II for the 6 10's.

I still prefer my B2R and SVT-15EN for home practice and recording (with a second direct line).

 

[maddog]

What?!? I can't hear a word you just typed.

Nice setup.

LMAO! Thanks! Yeah, I haven't had a chance to open this rig up yet, but I've got a gig with TNT Saturday night and, barring rain, I'm bringing the whole set-up.

Mike usually runs a Mesa-Boogie combo...loud as f***!

I'll be stopping by WalGreens to stock up on ear plugs.

Man,

Those are some gorgeous-looking cabs you got there... Lucky for me, my bank keeps my GAS under control.

Thanks!

Actually, the Backline Series cabs are really affordable ($200-300 ea.), and a good bang-for-the-buck!

Wow,

That's worth a monetary consideration.

Hey James, Nice Rig!I've never tried the Backline cabs but i'm guessing they might sound similar to sealed Ampeg cabs? Looks like you got a new head as well.Is that a 700RB or 1001RB?

 

[Randracula]

Shamus, are you there?

 

[shamus63]

Shamus, are you there?

Present, Sir!

This is a 700RB that was actually a prototype for the 1001RB...borred-out to 540w @ 4ohms.

The 115BLX-II cabs have cannon-hole sized ports in the rear.

 

[shamus63]

Shamus, are you there?

Signing off for now.

See ya'll in the morning.
