A while ago I posted my brand new setup, a GK1001RBII and a Traynor TC410 Cab rated at 800w at 8ohms, but never got time to write one. This is my first review so I hope I can write this up without embarrassing myself.
Anyway what im really trying to say is that this rig ROCKS. The head is beautiful, great sound, fantastic controls over said sound and its very versatile and quite light. The fan kind of comes on and off at weird times but I guess thats the standard for these heads from what ive read, doesnt seem to affect the performance and the fan is whisper quiet anyway. I wont spend much on the head since its been reviewed countless times by better people then me
The cab is a Traynor TC410 Bass cab rated at 800 watts at 8ohms and boy can you hear every watt of it, this baby is LOUD. It sounds very rich and full and I can get good bottom end from it, but a 115 might help because it can get a little muddy, but nothing I can really complain about for my first cab. Its listed as 90lbs but it feels quite light. I was able to grab both handles on the sides (feel like very sturdy handles) and lift the cab with the head on top off the ground with no problems. All sounds I dial in on the amp and bass come through quite clean, havent had any problems with sound being distorted or unclear besides whats mentioned above (Slightly muddy/unclear with bass all the way up). Brand new the cab was only $625 Canadian (which is par with American now but Canadian stores havent lowered their prices to be in line with America
so you could probably find it in the States for cheaper new). GK Neo 212 sell new here for about that price and the used market is pretty slim. Turning the woofer up to not even full shakes my house and higher treble sounds are razor sharp. I havent used this in a gig setting yet so I cant comment on its performance in a band setting but im sure it will be able to hold its own and then some. I havent seen anyone else who has this cab on the board either.
Overall im having a lot of fun with it!
