    Amp recommendation comparable to GK 800RB

    I am looking to replace my GK 800RB. I know it is not replaceable and I love it but it is the only amp head I have and I'm looking for new gear. I play in a death metal band and I love the grindy tone and volume that head can push out. I saw posts on here before but they are a few years old. I...

    GK 800rb Bass/Boost Pot Issue

    Hey everyone, I was curious if anyone ever experienced their 800rb’s bass and boost pots cutting out past the 3 o’clock position. The sound is still there, but seems to lose the bass and boost feature when cranked past a certain point. Almost seems like it’s clipping but I’m doubtful. I’m...

    GK 800RB

    Hello all! I picked up my beloved GK 800RB (not sure what year, open to help there) about 5 years ago and have been enjoying playing it through a SOVTEK 4x10 with Eminence speakers. Maybe it’s the extended lockdown I’ve been experiencing but I’m dead keen on hooking up another cab but the...

    Head in a box? Is it worth it?!

    Good morning, afternoon or evening, For the past 10 years now i've had pretty much the exact same live rig. 5 str P bass into a GK 800 rb head. Its so damn crispy + punchy and DIs super well in the studio. I've never had any problems with it but gigging post-pan venues are wanting fewer and...

    Convince me not to buy a Genzler Magellan 800 over GK / Aguilar / Others

    I need a new bass amp, in the bigger, more powerful zone. I expect to spend about $800. The short version of my question – is there any reason I should not buy the Genzler Magellan 800? More details: I’m older and have a day job, so not so tight for money. I play out twenty times a year and...

    GK 800 RB - Do I need a preamp?

    Newbie to the forum and although I’ve played for years, I’m just now in a position to expand my gear set. I have a GK 800 RB and a rack mount compressor, but I don’t see an easy way to connect the compressor (rack mount back input and output) to the front end inputs on the GK. I’m wondering...

    NAD! GK800RB Corrects Another Historical Error—Now What?

    Rough image of a rough piece, but the smile says it all. I don’t think the 800RB was ever known for its looks, anyway. Reverb seller said it was beat up but worked perfectly, and a quick test run bears that out. I would say it sounds better than I remember, but I really don’t remember the sound...
