    Hi Gospel player /everyone i must confess i love GK amps i have the 1x12 combo i use when i go on a jazz summer school mostly on double bass' :i use it on a PA speaker cab stand so i can hear it and is at the right volume. I also got my GK400RB through a SON OF BERTHA and gave that a try.

    Fretless fingerboard coatings

    Use an Ebony finger board like they do on Double basses (mines been on over 100 years) I made the bass on my Avatar from ebony with plenty of thickness so it can be cleaned up,also Jaco states he always practiced on his fretted to save the roundwounds eating the neck up.

    CAB SET UPS

    Yes,i think it is probably right about using a 4x10" and a 1x15",as i mentioned earlier when i used to use a 1x18" and a 2x10" i did Bi amp with a slave linked to the Peavey amp ;it does state in the manual if the slave you use has a greater power than the Peavey head, then to use that to...

    CAB SET UPS

    My line of thought was since i have the SWR 1X15", I saw on Ebay a Golliath 4x10" so was thinking it would be more of a full range system when used with the 1x15", so yes i have heard that you can get a better bass response with the 10's but what about handling the bottom end of a five string as...
