Good combo!?

YES! Blast it and rock it hard!

Sure. I prefer a tube SVT with that cab but GK makes quality stuff so whatever floats your boat.

doesn't everything sound good through an AMPEG 810.......

I was very happy with the sound of my G-K2000RB head through my Ampeg 810E.

My guess is a G-K1001 through an 810E would be a killer setup.

(That 2000RB/810E combo was also the loudest bass setup I've ever played through.

I play GK 700RB II through Ampeg 810E and it's KILLER! So most certainly a resounding YES!

If you prefer a somewhat warm sound, I'd go with the 700rb-II, if you want literally tons of clean headroom, the 1001rb-II is tough to beat - either will work really well with an SVT810e...

I prefer the 700rb-II, as it's always been more than loud enough for any band I've ever played in - and I play in a loud 2 guitar(tube half stacks) band, yet cops a warmer tone than the 1001rb-II...

I had this setup for a while. It sounded great. I got tired of moving the 165 pound SVT 810 cab by myself and eventually switched to a 115 and 410.

Yeah that's okay but surely having to do two separate lifts (one for the 4x10 and one for the 1x15) is just as much hassle? I used to use a GK 4x10 and 2x12 but I prefer one cab trip.

I run with a GK 1001RB and an Ampeg 810 and it never fails to satisfy. Yeah sure, it's heavy but its got wheels and a good hand rail. Plus, it's not hard to add two spring-loaded flipout handles to the front of the base so another band member can help with any stairs. I did that and it's so much easier to carry now.

See?

I run a 700rb-II into an Ampeg 810 and that setup just rips. I play in a stupid loud band and yet I keep the master at noon and the gain around 9 o'clock for most stage shows... anything more than that and I overpower everyone.

I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed
