Reviews around sound (5.00 of 5)

  • The post EQ boost is clean, nice and can really kick out ABUNDANT clean power and sound when needing more without turning up the pre EQ gain and before adjusting the master volume... sort of like a post EQ pre-master gain option
  • the GK has that great, snappy, Solid State sound (I call it the Marcus Miller tone), and I love it...makes my Alembic, Spector and Fender basses sound better (to my ear) than any other amp
  • I use the GK NEO412 cab, and I get such an amazing 'metal' sound

Reviews around state (5.00 of 5)

  • the GK has that great, snappy, Solid State sound (I call it the Marcus Miller tone), and I love it...makes my Alembic, Spector and Fender basses sound better (to my ear) than any other amp
  • For a solid state head, in this price range, I'm saying it's the BEST head on the market
  • :In the end I was caught of guard with a solid state used GK RB1001-II in mint, unscratched, out-of-the-box condition and nabbed it at $400 after playing it through a Hartke VX410 (400 rms) together with a Hartke VX115 (300 rms) stack straight out as 700 watts rms at 4 ohms out to both cabs

Reviews around tone (5.00 of 5)

  • Fender 60th anniversary Precision bass through a Line-6 X3L pedal board (with programmed tones to stomp and go) to an Ampeg SVT450 on top of an Ampeg 4x10HLF Classic cab (and a Peavey TKO 115 combo when needed) for years and really enjoyed the tone
  • the GK has that great, snappy, Solid State sound (I call it the Marcus Miller tone), and I love it...makes my Alembic, Spector and Fender basses sound better (to my ear) than any other amp
  • Produces gloriously majestic tone... bought to have control over the amount of power that goes to my horn

  • It has amazing power, clarity, and flexibility of tone (which becomes increasingly important as you start to play with other musicians).I feel like I have discovered the Holy Grail of Bass Amplifiers!

  • If you go to the GK site, you'll see all the different jazz and funk players that use these amazing heads and cabs
  • :I narrowed down my search to the MARK Bass 2x10 @ 600 rms combo over a MARK 4x10 cab, or, the Ampeg Portaflex 500 class D head (11 lbs.) through my Ampeg 4x10HLF Classic cab
