Which was introduced first - AMP BH420 or GK800RB?
- Thread starter duff2
- Start date
Well, after some further research, I managed to find the answer...
From Talkbass:
AMP (Amplified Music Products) was started in 1982 by two ex-Acoustic employees, Russ Allee (who designed the legendary Acoustic 360 amp) and Roger Smith. In '83, they hired Acoustic engineer Steve Rabe, who designed the SL-1 bass preamp to accompany the power amp.
Rabe left AMP in early '84 to start his own company, SWR Engineering.

GK800RB was introduced in 1982.

Bought mine shortly after they were introduced and I still have it - it has been gigged all over the place - used quite a bit and even slid of my Cab with no ill effects. It has been idle for over 10 years now with no use.
Looking for a Cab now to start using it again - want something small but with a big sound for around $200
