GK 700RB VS GB shuttle 6 VS GK MB Fusion

Sign in to disble this ad
I play hard rock music, like to be crips / clear / aggressive and cut through the mix!

I currently use a ashdown ABM EVO III combo, but pain in the arse to move about!!
Ive always used ashdown apart from once when i used a GK backline 600, and i liked it!

Cant seem to decide between the 3 above,

Ive not included the GK MB500 as all the reviews i have read say the 700 RB II beats it so....

Not sure what cab im getting yet, and i play a Custom Landing Active bass.

Your thoughts on the above?!?

Well GK is known for this sound is it not?
Shuttles are great, but I wouldn't call em aggressive. U can dial in a fair bit of grit, but The old GK's are pretty well known for cutting thru, rock style.

I had both the 700 and the fusion at the same time. Both amps are very good. That being said I decided to keep the fusion over 700. I felt I could get more tones with the fusion and the size/ weight was a plus. You can't go wrong either way. Two good amps!

My ears preferred the GB Shuttle 6.0 over anything GK (and pretty much everything else) when I was out amp shopping last year, so that's what I bought and to me it was the best choice.

As for you and your ears, try them all and see what works with your sound.
