    GK Fusion 550 Return it? or Fix it?

    Now, on Sunday I go to church and get everything set up and I played a open note and Suddenly I hear over drive ish distortion sound(Master was at 3 o'clock and Gain was at 12). I just saw this thread. I own a Fusion. You were in a church and running this amp at 3 o'clock and the gain on...

    Gallien-Krueger Official Club Thread: part II

    Thanks, but I really didn't want to hear that...! I don't think there's one in the country right now so that kind of stops the GAS. The early 80s 800rb on ebay however is another issue...

    Looking for lightweight for "little mark tube"

    George at Bassgeardirect in Sydney has the Bergs... Bass Centre are very good on price though! I'd suggest a Bergantino AE410 with that head. I own 2 Berg ae210s courtesy of George, as well as a Markbass CL104 cabinet. The weight is similar and both are under 30kgs. For basically the same...

    Gallien-Krueger Official Club Thread: part II

    I am now running the Fusion and love it as well. Don't want to divert the thread but I am thinking about the Lakland Decade as see you have one hanging up there. How does this sound through the Fusion? I haven't got much of a chance to hear it for myself right now but my precision and jazz sound...

    Advice on Rig, For Pub Rock Gigs.

    + 1 I'm a bit late to this thread but as a recently satisfied customer of George and a Bergantino convert, if you are in the market at the Markbass cabinet price you have to check out the Bergantino cabinets. I think I saw George is now selling the AE410 for just over $1600 and the HS410 for...

    GK with a Berg HS410 or Sadowsky SA410 anyone?

    If I recall Tom, your review of the Fusion involved a couple of ae210 cabinets? I am now running that set-up and have never been so satisfied in 20 years playing. Beside having more volume than I know what to do with, the Fusion has enormous bottom end, punch and tubey goodness and the Bergs...

    A game of Pin the Head on the Cab anyone?

    Howdy I'm from Melbourne as well and so thought I should share with a fellow Victorian. For your money check out the secondhand LMII Bass Centre has and pair it with a VT in-store. However, with the AU$ at 84c and your budget perhaps consider doing what I did and order the VT from...

    Mark Bass Cabs help!

    Jase I'm just up the road from you in Melbourne. Anyway, I use a 121p combo with the sealed 104CL as an extension cab when needed and I know what you're saying. There are plenty of markbass cabinets pessimists on here but I love my rig, as do the numerous drummers I play with. Maybe they just...

    Replacing P-Bass p/u' s

    Nordstrand or Fralin worth checking out. This place is full of opinions though...

    Preamp pedal opinions needed...

    linden eq or VT. Have them both and have the Sadowsky as well. All great but the Sadowsky is off my board currently because in my view, it is a modern sound compared to the linden. Plenty of discussion on here about the VT and the linden.

    News on Chunk Systems Bass Synth

    The OS gives the ability to hide/show parameters for each preset so you can just set out the main parameters you would feel you would need to tweak live for that effect. Saves scrolling through all 47 so you just need to work out which parameters you feel you may need to tweak on the fly for an...

    Barber Linden EQ vs. OLC Flipster

    I just got my linden as well. I also have the VT, but I was looking for a nice smooth eq to replace my sadowsky outboard which was a little brittle in the highs for my liking and while early days, I am hoping the linden and the VT can co-exist on my board with the VT offering up the grind when...
