    G&L Club Part 7

    I've already contacted G&L, both through social media, and with the contact form on their website, but nobody is answering. If anybody have direct contact information to somebody at G&L, maybe you could share it with me through a PM or something? I am aware that G&L sells necks and other parts...

    G&L Club Part 7

    Hi guys. I recently bought a used L-2000 Tribute from Japan and got it shipped to Norway. When I received it, it turns out that the neck is warped. I had it at a luthier, and he did his best with it, so the bass is playable now. The neck is still not perfect, and I cant get the action low...

    Fujigen FGN Club

    Hi guys! I'm really considering pulling the trigger on a used 4-string Mighty Jazz Dark Evolution, but I'm concerned about the neck on these basses. I prefer meaty necks, had a Stingray previously and loved that neck. Now I know that this bass has 38mm width at the nut, but how is the...

    Ibanez SRX

    I said that the B string sound muddy and undefined on the SRX355, the rest of the strings sound good. I have the EQ set on flat, so is isn't dimed. I've had several basses with good B strings: Yamaha TRB1006, Ibanez SR705 and even an old Vester 5 string, and that was a CHEAP bass. And I think...

    Ibanez SRX

    I have a SRX 590 and I've tried the SRX 355. I can't reccomend you that five string, as the B string sound muddy and not defined at all. If you want a five string I would much rather go for a SR. I have a SR705, and for the price it kicks ass. My SRX have the same pickups as the 355 and...

    GK 1001RB-II question

    So I have a GK 1001RB-II amp. I'm using it to bi-amp a GK NEO-212 cab. It's an 8 ohm cab. So here's the question, sometimes I need a little extra volume, and I have a GK 410BLX cab in 8 ohm. Is it ok to use the amp to bi-amp the NEO cab with the speakon cable and use the BLX in fullrange with...

    Gallien-Krueger Official Club Thread: part III

    Yey. Now I'm a proper GK user. I've had a GK 410BLX cab for years, but I didn't want to brag about it. ;) But today I got my GK rig: 1001RB-II and NEO-212. It's awesome in my opinion. This rig replaces a Mesa 400+ and the BLX. Count me in!:bassist:

    New speaker for combo cab

    I know, the backline sucks. :) but what cab would offer the most bang for the bucks? Just to mention, I like like my tone punchy with quite a lot of treble, round tone can I make without the help of the cab.

    Does anyone own a famous Bass?

    I don't have a bass, but my Mesa 400+ head has been in two big norwegian rock bands. Amulet and Turbonegro. I was actually very impressed with the state of it when I got it, you would think those guys beat up their equipment, but no sir, it's nearly mint.:)

    New speaker for combo cab

    So, I have a Carvin PB200 combo with a 15" speaker. The amp in the combo is dead and I don't use it anymore because i got a Mesa 400+ that I run through a GK BLX410 cab. But I want more. :) I'm not much of a fan of the speaker that's in the Carvin combo now, so the question is, can I replace the...
