First real rig.. Finally..

[SchecterC4]

Just got back from purchasing my first real rig and I have to say I'm quite impressed with how big of a step up this is from my previous getup. I play in a 4 piece band, was using a Fender Rumble 100, and going up against a really loud drummer and two Marshall half stacks. Suffice to say I didn't like the mids or lows on the Rumble and the whole amp seemed to have next to no personality and character, much less functionality, so today I went out and got myself a GK Neo 4x10 as well as a used 700RB-II head. The cab was mighty expensive at 600 bucks new, but compared to the Backline series worth it's weight (or lack thereof) in gold. I tried picking up on of the Backline 410 cabs and nearly thew out my back because I wasn't expecting it to be so dern heavy but the Neo is considerably lighter and the casters definitely help. All in all, definitely loud enough and great lows and screamin highs from the cab. As for the head, I've heard nothing but good things about GK heads and it seems to be a very well built piece. Hoping to get many a gig out of this set up and thanks to all the people on this forum for helping me with my decision.

You did the right thing, dude. Skimping on cabs is always a mistake. You can skimp on the head (not that you did...the 700RB's a classic), but not the cab.

I'm really glad I didn't skimp on the cab. I think I would've been kicking myself had I gotten the backline not only because of it's weight, but also because I'm not so sure of the build quality. The Neo is a solid cab and I'm from the school of thought that "you get what you pay for"

is that the 4x10? it kinda looks like the 2x12, unless they have redesigned them to be taller?

(sorry i've been out of it for a while)

Nice looking rig btw

If you look carefully you can see four speakers.

Niiiiiiice. My first 'real' rig was similar, a GK 800RB and Hartke 4x10. Know how it feels. Enjoy.

You didn't skimp on anything. That's a pro rig. Very nice!

Nice GK rig!

Not to mention the terrible drivers and sound, I've owned backline cabs--TS you've dodged the bullet on an all around awful cab, congrats.

Feels good to get that real rig doesn't it

nice setup bro. I just picked up the NEO 410 myself and have it paired with the 1001. I love the way this setup sounds and I'm sure that yours sounds the same. Enjoy it!

 

[In Absentia]

Did a bang-up job with this purchase. Congrats!

 

[SchecterC4]

Woo.. thanks, guys. After running the cab for a while I have to say I love it more and more every time I play. It's very versatile. Very rich lows and uber smooth mids. With my new fuzz pedal it's exactly what I was looking for.

Nice Rig!!
now enjoy and rock on.

 

[bwv1013]

you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to amps. nice rig, now give the bandmates some hell!

 

[ljazz]

Very sweet indeed! Enjoy the heck out of it. As Jimmy mentioned, the 700rbII is a classic. I love mine, and I don't think there is a better piece of gear out there, especially when you consider what you get vs. what you pay.

I haven't heard the neo410 yet, but it's getting glowing reviews.

Wicked rig!
