How much does the GK Transporter 4x10 weigh?

I'm mainly a singer songwriter, but play some bass. I'm looking for a combo amp for myself that can "handle" a small to medium club. Maybe 50-100 max people and "quiet" drums at small venue, and perhaps 100-200 people max at medium club venue (bit louder drummer) Clubs will usually (but not...

I've looked through some comments but am a bit overwhelmed. I really like the neck on this bass and the feel of it. However, the pick up is weak, and it does not stay in tune properly. Recommendations for new pick up and tuners, please. As you know, this is an inexpensive bass, so I don't want...

I listened to the Fender 40 and the 100 at the same amp settings, and the same bass guitar. They sounded very similar to me. The 100 had a VERY SLIGHT "bassier" sound on the open E and A strings and at the first fret, but the 40 sounded a bit clearer to me, perhaps because of the 10 inch...

Hello, New to effects. These are different animals but wondering which might be preferable. Play R&R, R&B, Blues and Pop. Opinions on he above? Also please see my previous post. Thanks!

Hello, New to effects. I was thinking of getting a chorus, compression, and overdrive pedal. Then I saw the above and wondered if it might be a good idea. I can get it on Ebay for around $125.00 used to $175.00 new. 3 pedal would cost me arounf $150.00 used and $200.00 plus new. Informed...

Hello, I was looking into 3 possible pedals on an earlier post. I was seeking opinions on the three "best" options. I see the above might serve that purpose at a decent price. Then again, as a newer bass player I don't want to be distracted by too many bells and whistles. Any opinions? I play...

Yes, I believe I was thinking overdrive rather than distortion.

Hello, New to effects. Are the above 3 the "best" if 3 is the limit? Playing R&R, R&B, Blues, Pop. I have a tuner. I've looked at past threads. Simple answers are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks so far for the input. I will not have cabs with horns....I just bought a GK Goldline GLX 2x10 and 1x15. Any more advice? Thanks.

Hello, Will drive a 2x10 and 1x15 or each seperately. Any opinions from those who are familiar with the heads? Thanks for your input...new to the bass amp scene.

Thanks so far. I am leaning strongly towards the GK 700 head. Could I get some input on the speakers I mentioned in my first post? That would be great. Thanks again.

I have not purchased yet and do not want to test for distortion AFTER I have done the deal. This seems like a fairly straight forward question even though I can't confidently answer it yet. Thanks.

The more I have read in this forum the more confused I have become. I need accurate info on the above. I am a singer songwriter/acoustic guitarist that is also taking up bass. I have narrowed my choices to the following: GK Backline 300W Amp - GK Goldline GLX 2x10 and 1x15 300W GK 700RB11...
