    Buying a used 700RB-II here's what I know

    I've heard great things about both, but I just don't need the extra wattage. I think you'd be happy with either one. There is A LOT of info about each on this forum. Good luck.

    What are the chances that I would get into this club right at the time when #69 was the next number to be handed out? That's too funny!:p Thanks lewislngvw.

    Buying a used 700RB-II here's what I know

    So I decided to go with a new 700RB-II from RMC. After reading the comments from you guys I just wasn't willing to take a chance on head with no warranty. The extra $$ will help save my sanity. I ordered the head and the road case from RMC about 20 minutes ago and it's already in the...

    Buying a used head . . . what to ask

    Pack for shipping? Well I hope I don't have to use that option as I don't live all the far from where the amp is located. I'm hoping the seller will consider meeting up somewhere. Trying to save as much scratch as possible.

    Buying a used head . . . what to ask

    Sort of. I asked this as a general question before posting the one about the GK. Since no answered the general thread, I needed to try again. Sorry if caused any issues. Thanks for the help.

    Buying a used 700RB-II here's what I know

    I considered going new from RMC, but that extra $125 is a deal breaker for me right now. I think I'll take my chances. Pray for me.:p I'm still open to more thoughts.

    I just emailed Dave today with my order. This will be my first cab. I'm getting the NEO B212 8ohm in Orange Tolex. I think that looks cool (or hot I guess) as hell. I haven't heard back from him yet, but when I do speak with him I would like to inquire about pop-out casters. LHbassist...

    Buying a used 700RB-II here's what I know

    I have a line on a used (2 owner) G-K 700RB-II. I know this is the model I want, but I've never bought a used head. I asked the seller a bunch of questions (which he thouroughly answered). There is no original paperwork (I now manuals are online). The original owner gigged with it but it...

    Just ordered Bayou cable

    Yea, story of my life I guess. And I don't think that having concern about damage to the bass or amp is ridiculous as it is documented that Monsters have damaged jacks in the past. I paid good, hard-earned money for this gear and if I'm not going to rest easy that its not damaged then back...

    Which Song Introduced Grunge To The Mainstream?

    Yea, AIC is the real deal. Unfortunately led by another self destructive talent that couldn't pass up the horse. They are the best of the Seattle scene bands of that time, IMO. That is if you like music that would make most people want to hang themselves:p

    Just ordered Bayou cable

    Sorry, but to be flat out blunt the answer to that is NO WAY! Sam Ash is going to refund me in full or someone will pay in blood. It's there problem to take up with Monster. Period. I'm also returning the amp combo I bought because I will never feel 100% about it after sticking the Montser to...

    Which Song Introduced Grunge To The Mainstream?

    If you want to hear some kick-ass late '80s early 90's Seattle music. I say music because I don't consider it grunge, I'm really not sure what you call it. I would say the same about Alice in Chains. They played just mind-numbingly dark hard rock if you ask me. Anyway, back to MLB. Only...
