    Best active bass

    Schecter has awesome basses for the price, and judging by the pros who play them, it seems they are especially built for hard rock and metal. The neck-through provides great sustain, the neck is smooth, and the EMG pick-ups have a lot of variability. I own the Stilleto Elite 4 ($500 new in...

    New Tech 21 VT Bass 300 Head!

    I'm OK with size and power. I actually got really excited when I saw this. I love my pedal, but the novelty of the official amp is appealing. One thing I would like to see is a face lift. This would be pretty bad ass if they put it in a case and made it look similar to an SVT. Like Kustom...

    VT Bass vs. SVT 3pro

    I've got an awesome tech 21 vt bass that I'm running through a poweramp right now. The sound is awesome, and everyday I find a new setting that I love. I kinda want the same set up in a single amp to make it a little more portable so I've been considering an SVT 3 that it seems go used for a...

    GK Backline 600 question

    Hey dude, i'm not sure how much I can help, but I can tell you that I've recently started running my bass directly into the return loop. The effects loops is right before the poweramp and after the pre amp, so any changes to the eq or channel vol will not change what is running into the...

    Planning to buy a new rig

    I haven't played it, but I am personally drooling over a tech21 VT bass pedal. It seems like a great pedal that emulates that tube tone anyway. I'm playing a GK BL 600 (300watts, ~$200 used), through an Avatar 210 (mine was $400 new, but you can find em way cheaper). I like the GK sound, but...

    KUSTOM DE300 HD

    I recently heard about this. Guess this thread is kinda deserted, but thought I'd shoot to see if anyone has tried this head yet. A lot of talk, but no takers it seems...

    Gallien-Krueger Official Club Thread: part II

    Hi guys. I'm having a hard time finding comparisons between the Backline 600 and 800rb heads. I've got a Backline 600, and I'm wondering if it'd be worth selling for an 800rb? Is it an upgrade? Are they pretty comparable? I do like the 600 and have found a good sound, and I love the...

    Bad GAS...new amp, or new cab?

    Thanks for reinforcing my decision. The brown gives me a little more justification on not getting two of the same thing I guess. It might look tacky, but how often do you see a brown cab?! Gotta mix it up

    Bad GAS...new amp, or new cab?

    Ordered a 210 today. Tried to find a good used one, but got sick of looking. So got i got brown one to go with the green one i got. I can stop thinking about it now, and do my school work. Got a few exams coming up.

    Bad GAS...new amp, or new cab?

    Hmm...that might be the case. I guess I hear other people play, and I think "I gotta have a rig like that." The GK is pretty versatile for what its work. I think you're right Ricken. I guess I just needed someone else to confirm. I think I'm having a hard time accepting getting two of the...

    Bad GAS...new amp, or new cab?

    Hey guys, I can only read so much before I just gotta ask for some advice. I'm an intermediate-advanced player, but I'm stupid when it comes to equipment. I'm on a budget (college student), so I'm currently running a GK backline 600 with a Avatar 210, which was a huge step up from my Ibanez...
