Well I can finally say I have moved on from combos. I will soon have a Gallien Krueger Backline 600 head. I just purchased one used 10 minutes ago for 149.99$ on the used section of guitar center! The head, speaker cable, shipping, and 1 year coverage plan only costed 209.00$! I just purchased The Gallien Krueger Backline 4x10 blx II cab for 189$ earlier this month now I just have to wait for the final piece :D Im really excited about this and thought Id share it with my fellow TB members. lol Any one have any comments on how this rig will most likely sound?


Thanks Jacob =]

Hey man thats great!!! Never played that rig, but im sure it will sound great. GK makes good stuff, even their low end gear. Ive bought many items used off the GC used inventory and have never had a problem. Just bought a used GK MB2-500 off there for $270(stupidly sold my first one) and waiting for it to come in. Im sure it will look and work great.

No problem man. You may have some guys on TB that dont like GC and some that do. Ive had no problems with the few in-store or used purchases ive made with them. Actually, i withdraw my first statement about not playing the BLX cabs. I actually played the BLX 2x10 cab and it had a great sound, nice growly lows and low mids, but no highs, but those cabs have no tweeter so what do you expect...:) i like tweeters.:) but definitely good for the money. The Backline amps sound just like the more expensive RB heads, only they're made in China instead of the USA. But all in all, great gear for the money.
