Bass Amp Megathread

[lordie]

still amp shopping i am such a whore. limited stocks at davies did some searching since they dun have the GK 700 RB-II and has only the 400 and the backline 600. i did a little research and than.. on talkbass.

According to Bob Gallien:

http://www.instituteofbass.com/archi...llien_krueger/

Which products have proven to be G-K's most popular units?

Even though we don't do any advertising at all for them, the most popular head that we have in production today is the 300 watt Backline 600 Series amplifier that is made in China. We sell enormous amounts of those amps because they are affordable, reliable, and they get the job done. In fact, this amp is probably the most popular amp in the world. Although it is made in China, it is constructed with all of the same components that you will find in our American-made amps. This isn't a stripped down head that is made with cheap parts. The Backline 600 is basically a 400RB-IV that is made in China. It's inexpensive, and it's a really reliable, well-built product. If you are just looking at the numbers, our Backline Series cabinets which are made in China with our own drivers are definitely our best-selling cabinets..."

so its made in china 400 RB inside the backline 600, so qns. worth it? the markbass LMII is still tops in my list still tho, just figuring out some options.

they seem to stress the fact that it is cheaper only because its made in CHINA, not because of the parts. maybe they use slave or child labour to make

markbass on top of your list? I thought you wanted aggressive tone

 

[lordie]

well i mean in china folks there earns like usd$300-400 a mth. problem with china is not the inferior quality but rather the poor quality control. they have lesser tolerance. shody workforce or skill workforce if QC is good only the good stuff will get thru.

i think i skip the markbass for a GK or Nemesis and patiently wait for the tube version to arrive ))

 

[lordie]

amp search is over. went over to davies and grab a Eden Nemesis RS-400. i like what i hear and it turn blue when switch it on and comes with a free footswitch nice

 

[jbarks]

Not over... just beginning

 

[lordie]

i ponder over that and i think u are absolutely right, i got gas for basses, and i got gas for pedals and now i got gas for amps.

can die...

can recommend me rack cases, preferred something that i can lug around in a car to venues.

 

[rottenramone]

hahaha i can buy that 2nd hand from u right? if u dunwan lah

 

[jbarks]

For racks I usually just get something from Gator

 

[lordie]

[lordie]

Looking good..I remember being very impressed by the Nemesis combo that I tried in Sinemax a number of years back..It started my GAS for an Eden..
