    Help me not buy a bass

    I had a 1975 P bass for 25 years and loved it. I finally decided to buy a new bass and asked several music stores, fellow bassist and others about a similar replacement. After 3 months of evaluating and trying new/used basses, I wound up with the G&L SB2. I've had mine a few years now and I'm...

    Are your cab and amp the same brand?

    I have an Ampeg 1,000 watt SVT 7 Pro and various cabs to include my favorite pair of GK 2X12's 600 watt each. I also pair the Ampeg with a Big Bertha 2x15 cab. I did try the 2x10's with this amp but ultimately settled into the 2x12's . Good luck with your selection.

    Specifications for GK NEO IV 212

    Anyone having trouble finding the specifications for the GK pro 212 NEO IV 4 ohm bass cabinet? I'm specifically looking for the following: 1. Frequencies in Hz - Khz 2. Sensitivity in db 3. The number of watts listed on the specifications plate on the back of the cabinet. Not the number of watts...

    New cab, GK Neo IV vs Mesa Subway?

    I wonder if GK is still advertising a higher wattage on the 2x12 than actual as specified on the cab?

    Gallien Krueger 212 NEO II, 600 watts or 800?

    The sticker (specification plate) is accurate.

    Darkglass 2x12 vs GK 2x12 vs Others

    Excellent information Ross I had to read it twice, as you mentioned its a lot to unpack. After reading this, I went back and reviewed the specs. One thing stands true, that is the sound in your ears. I wish I could go to Bern. I looked it up. Your right about the 6 hours. It's near the coast...

    Oh yes! I completely forgot about the Bergantino 2x12. Thanks. Any of them you would eliminate from the top ten?

    Darkglass 2x12 vs GK 2x12 vs Others

    I noticed most of the cabs frequency responses were consistent ranging around 35 to 45 Hz to 14 to 22 KHz. The Sinobas is rated at 4.5 KHz. Is this better, worse or irrelevant?

    Darkglass 2x12 vs GK 2x12 vs Others

    As I look at the specifications for bass cabs, I'm not up to snuff on the ratings such as the frequency response and sensitivity. What separates the best from the mediocre? Or what should I be looking for? Thanks

    Darkglass 2x12 vs GK 2x12 vs Others

    I'm looking to purchase a 2x12 bass cabinet and get some advise. There is no music store within 50 miles so I rely on your feedback. I play classic rock and blues (Allman Brothers, SRV, ZZ Top) material. I currently have an Ampeg SVT 7 Pro 1,000 watt 4ohm head and a GK 2X12 NEO bass cab AND a...
