I have recently talked with an old friend that said he had a GK 400RB "High Current" bass head. What exactly do they mean by "High Current"?

GK 400RB High Current

I had a 400rb for *years* and the one downside to it was that it would sag a bit under the stress of a big transient, particularly if it was warm/hot. Great amp for small gigs, but don't expect to fill the house with it.
Yes it will sag a bit under heavy demands. Its about 200 watts at 4 ohms. But there are a lot of other amps in that power category that don't do as well. I used the old 400 RB for over 10 years of steady gigging. With enough good and efficient speakers I never had any problem in small to medium rooms. And never a failure, even when I pushed it past what it was designed for on outdoor gigs.
I replaced it with a 2000RB and I could notice the 2000 had a bit more solidity in the bottom end. But it weighed more than twice as much and cost a lot more. I still miss my old 400 RB. It's still working for its new owner and playing gigs twice a week.
And it's sounds great.
