That GK combo

The little microbass one you posted some pics on instagram a while back, how does it sound? Any songs you've used it on?

I've only ever heard it played with either upright bass or some horrible active modern bass (sorry active guys) and so I'd assumed it'd be super clean, but you strike me as a not-so-clean with lots of character amp guy so maybe I'm wrong.

By the way, love the look of the Mustang sig bass, I hope some make it over to the UK.

Cheers,
Joe.

That GK is more about a clear sort of punch that's very pleasing, and it also takes pedals really well. It's probably on a good half of the new Paramore album, no joke. And that bass tone rips. You can see on my Insta that I literally put like four mics on it. That was fun. The other half of that album is my treasured Bassman TV15. No vintage amps on this album, surprisingly. But I was mostly in Nashville and didn't bother shipping out my vintage stuff, and I was cool with those choices.
