What's the going rate for a used GK 1001RB MKII

gjbassist · #1 01-16-2012, 11:45 AM

Just curious as I have a friend offering to sell me one. I don't really need it but it seems like a good deal at $250 for a 700 watt head.

250? get it. Working gk1001rbII, even if its beat up cosmetically. They usually go for about 400 to 550 depending on condition.

Any other thoughts? I want to grab this before he changes his mind or sells it to someone else.

Recently? I know they have been around for several years so I'm sure the value of them used has declined.

I owned one for about a year and a half. Solid amp. Modern sounding to my ears (I own an ampeg b15n and use a 370 acoustic) and loud through a lot of speakers. Pretty versatile too.

If you dont want it for $250 Ill gladly give him that much for it,

If it's in good working condition, it is a good deal.

Well I went ahead and grabbed this head and all I can say is wow! It's in great shape and everything appears to work perfectly. I almost feel bad only paying $250 for a head that still sells new for $750! I will try to get some pics up later tonight. Now I have some decisions to make regarding my rig setup.

That was a steal, great bargain.

justBrian · #11 01-16-2012, 08:58 PM

Man--what a deal. And I'm looking for a different head, too...
Ah well. Maybe next time.

Here's a pic. Now I need to figure out what cabinet to put with it.

I'm sure that would sound awesome but how much does it weigh?

Those beasts are 94 lbs. Tilt back with wheels makes it a little more maneuverable though.

That setup would roar though.

You just robbed a bank, dude. I paid $more for mine, and I felt like *I* robbed a bank. All the head you'll ever need, if the tone works for you.
