    Fender Jazz Bass Ultra - Anyone played one?

    OK, y’all really aren’t helping! Like the original poster, the Jazz Ultra Texas Tea is calling out to me. I have a 2014 American Jazz I love, but I am having a really hard not dropping some bank on this bass - plus I am in Texas, so the whole Texas Tea thing speaks to me…dammit! LOL. Please send...

    Impulse buy! Gallien Krueger content! (NAD)

    2000RB’s are monsters! Look at all those Speakon connectors. Four cabinets here I come!

    Impulse buy! Gallien Krueger content! (NAD)

    I have the 1001RB and the 410 NEO cabinet. It rocks. Also recently purchased a Fusion 115 for a country band I am playing in currently. I started out way, way back in the day with a 400B and Sunn 215SH folded horn cabinet. I have, and will always be, a GK amplifier player.

    When picking a band…

    I have been looking around for another band or two, since the one I am playing with now is having issues related to covid and rehearsals/gigging. I got a response today. “We have been through 8 or 9 bass players that have left”. They didn’t give a reason. It’s an older generation band, they...

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    Yea, I’m “frugal” (read cheap) on some accessories, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this cover.

    What was your first bass amp and how bad was it?

    GK 800RB and a Sunn 215-SH folded horn cabinet. Big, heavy, and sounded great until I blew both Sunn speakers on a AC/DC song with a way too loud drummer. Bought some JBLs and was good. I have always used GKs since the 80’s. Learned my lesson with the Sunn, used GK amps/cabinets ever since and...

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    I checked the GK site for the dimensions. My cover fits the handle properly. I put it on backwards when I first got it, not realizing there was an offset for the handle.

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    This is the same company it appears, but this line is less expensive than Tuki. I bought the one listed as a Legacy Combo 115, double checked the dimensions as the same. Good fit and well made. Shop All - Gallien Krueger - Page 3 - Custom Amp Covers

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    I have a Fusion 115. Here is how mine works. With the footswitch plugged directly in and not lit, my normal/on light is on. When my footswitch is on, (blue led lit on the footswitch), normal/on is off, and the 3 overdrive lights are lit. Is this what you are experiencing? Pic of my footswitch...

    How many basses does a pro need?

    Wait - noted in your signature. There is a Texas Bassist Club? How do I join?

    How many basses does a pro need?

    Agreed. I have regrets selling my instruments over the years. As an example, I picked up a Les Paul Recording Bass for almost nothing in the 90’s I sold. Many others - Steinberger comes to mind. Regret it to this day. I will never sell another instrument I buy.

    How many basses does a pro need?

    I have 2. My main MIA Jazz and an Ibanez for a backup on gigs. Of course, I would have many more - but budget and priorities negate wild spending lol.

    Gallien Krueger Club. GK Rules !

    Ok that was weird. Thought I posted a reply. I’ll try again. The Neos cabinets are loaded with Neodymium woofers which have amazing punch and volume. My rigs are a 1001RB Mark II and Neo 410, along with a Fusion 115 combo. I went with the Fusion combo for versatility. I can use the combo for...

    Oh man, what have I done?

    “He set up his kit and then made noises like a man falling down a flight of stairs with his drums.” This made me laugh so hard my Makers Mark came out of my nose! On the original posters question. Firm negative answer and to the point. Keep it professional and short. Have had to do this...

    How to NOT find the new member you're looking for.

    Interesting thread. I just auditioned with some folks that were in a previous band, and they gigged regularly in the past, mostly country covers with a couple originals thrown in. Anywhere from 1 to 3 sets. This new project is with the singer they gigged with before, but he is now signed and...

    GK Fusion 115

    Just received a Fusion 115 “used” from Musicians Friend. Unboxed it last night, and it had that new amp smell. Came with the foot switch, also unused. My guess it was in the store and never sold. It did not come in the original box. $500 off the current list price, so color me happy. It will be...

    Greetings All!

    After a hiatus of more years than I care to reveal, I am playing again - this time with friends. Started out with a Ibanez and an Ampeg combo, and that morphed quickly to a Standard American Jazz and just ordered a GK 1001RB-II and Neo 410 (it's the guitar players fault, he rolled in with a...
