I wonder if we can expect to see an ALL-TUBE amp from GK anytime in the future?
I'm also wondering if MESA-BOOGIE will be putting out an ALL-TUBE amp again soon.
---would be nice to see what these companies would put on the table--- |

I am also working on an all tube head version of my preamp...  |

Every time I hear the GK gear, I am amazed at how good they sound with Rickenbacker basses !!! They bring the grit which is unique to the Ric basses. I believe my next amp, will be a GK !!!!! I will go try them for sure !! I have been 'amp-less' for a good year or so now and it's time for me to go back !!! |

Check out some live Ween clips.
You back to the Ric now? I know you had switched to Lakland for a while. |

I am still in love with my Lakland DJ 4 but also would never ever let my Rickenbacker basses down my friend !!! I am very tempted to go with the G-K amps, since I found they are the ones who seem to reproduce the best the 'gritty' tone ala Ric !!! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
