    Fender rumble 410 version 1, yes or no?

    I had that version of cabinet, ran a rumble 350 head into it. It looked very cool but seemed rather anemic to me. I sold it after the first gig and bought a GK 410 NEO.

    Replacing GK Neo 410 Speakers

    I had a blown driver in my 410 neo, I ordered two of them from GK. I replaced one and never blew another. Sold the spare when I sold the cab. Excellent cab, GK rocks.

    Do you switch basses mid-set?

    I only own one bass. My trusty Olympic White American Special P-Bass.

    No, I don't want to enable push notifications

    Thanks, guys. I know it's good for me and all, but I reserve the right to squawk about it. :)

    But thanks for asking. And asking. And asking.

    BEST AMP for a small studio - AMPEG portaflex 500 PF-500 + PF-210HE any good ?

    I ran my PF 800 with GK410 neo cabinet, it shook the world, I loved it.

    BEST AMP for a small studio - AMPEG portaflex 500 PF-500 + PF-210HE any good ?

    I had a PF 800 for years. I bought it in 2013 I believe and it still going strong when I sold it last year. It was an amazing amp, it sounded exceptionallly good and was very reliable. The PF 800 had an XLR out which came in very handy and sounded great. I believe the PF 500 has one as well...

    Should I buy a pf800?

    I own a pf800 and run it into a GK410 neo. I have never needed everything this rig can do but I use it for almost everything. It speaks with authority at any volume. I've owned this rig for several years and it gets a lot of use. It's never failed me and it never fails to get a lot of compliments.

    Is it me or do people come to your gigs just to say they were there?

    Wow, I didn't know this topic was a thing. At my gigs people seem to go out of their way to say they weren't there. Check out this pic of the Coon Creek County music festival and the less than thronging crowd there. We were the first band of the day Saturday, true. Still, it would have been nice...

    2x10 or not 2x10 (4x10), that is the question

    I'm a 410 guy. I have a GK410 NEO that's a breeze to schlep. I'm pushing 60 and don't have a problem with it. I haven't heard the newer higher power 210s though, but I can't believe 2 210s are less of a hassle than one NEO 410.

    B-15 Replacement Transformers are way too expensive!

    I'm interested in this too.

    Your experience with GK NEO

    Here's my take on the 410 NEO. I hope this helps the OP. I purchased my 8 ohm 410 NEO three years ago and it's been a good addition to my rig with its low weight (yes!) and very nice, clear sound. I had one speaker go out with voice coil rubbing just after the warranty expired (GK absolutely...

    Ampeg pf500 help

    OP hasn't reported back yet after having been given the suggestion that rehearsal room power might be at fault, or did I miss it? Anyway, +1 on the PF800 suggestion, it's all PF500-y plus some. :)

    Ampeg PF-800 fault led

    I also use a GK 410 NEO with my PF800, and it sounds awesome to me. It's handled every room I've played it in and done a few outdoor gigs well too. And the cab is light enough that I haven't really considered getting something smaller for smaller rooms. I've toyed with the idea of an all Ampeg...
