Can I get some opinions?

Which GK 8x10?

Terminological exactitude promotes understanding.

 

yeah that should work.. plenty of watts in to plenty of speakers

 

I've never heard a peavey bass amp that I liked, but I think they would sound fine for stoner/doom metal.

Peavey = inexpensive, loud, and will last forever.

 

Yeh, I don't like your tie.

Cheeky, but very clean.

 

I think the line was "I dont like your sweater" anyway..

Oh and like most everyone else here, I owned a Peavey amp; model Mark VIII or something like that for a few years and its solid gear. I've read many good things on the Firebass amps, do a search n see. Can't speak much on the GK cabs, about 8yrs or so ago; played thru some at GC a while shopping for new cabs with my GK head, hated it. Left store with 2 SWR cabs.

But I also read good things on the GK cabs and I've heard em sound great at others gigs, so go figure.

Its all good, solid gear.

 

The Peavey head is fine, and it'll last as long as you want it, but those Backline GK cabs are not so great. That'll be the weak link.

 

I agree. Look elsewhere for the cab. A used Peavey cab might be just the thing.

 

I agree with those above, the GK BLX cab will be the weak point. I suggest trying to find a used 410 on Craigslist or at a store. Honestly, if you have a speaker that is not very loud, it does not matter what head you use with it - the tone will change, but the cab will only get as loud as it will. The BLX series do not get as loud as the higher model RBH series will get. (More volume, better tone, higher price tag)

BLX - Stands for "Back Line Series" and represents the budget gear line for GK.

 

would you consider 15's. dont see the need for a mega punchy sound. the peavy 1x15 cabs start off at a great price and usually have either sheffield or black widow speakers, both excellent.
