Loads of power, no issues on that front. It might not be the best for those needing a super bright/hi-fi sound, but beyond that, it seems amazing.

The BQ500 sounds great, loads of power and a nice puchy/warm sound.

Bringing this thread back. Picked one up and love this little thing. A somewhat warm and punchy sound, and loads of power, assuming you have a good signal headed to it. Good stuff, a keeper for now.

The description kills me:)

Hi all, just an update. The preamp arrived and has been installed. Works like new, and GK even through in a new "power button/switch" for free, easy install. And once again, this thing sounds amazing. Peace ✌️

OP here. Good news, just purchased a new preamp section (control pots included) for $50, direct from GK. After I have the amp running again, will buy just the "pots" to see if I can get the old preamp running, maybe. Yes, I have been doing the "rotating knob" trick to get rid of crackling for 3...

Just a feeler post. If you have a Schecter J-5 with the newer headstock and are wanting to trade for my early 2000's Korean Spector Legend 5 string, let me know. The J-5 is really the only bass of interest due to its 35" scale length and 1.77" nut, but feel free to hit me with other 5 string...

What is the weight?
