my Carvin Red Line Kickback 2x10

most of the time, here at the house,
I just use one of the models on the GNX and the drum loop
thru the effects return of the Red Line,
like a PA

I'm running the same series head! Mine is the 600, biamped into a 2x10 cab and a 1x15 cab. I love the tones I get out of this thing.

Definitely giggable but with anything, it depends on your needs. A friend of mine loves this amp, but would never use it live in his metal band, nor would I ever use his Mesa 4x12 rig for my gigs.

I have used a PJB Briefcase for a couple years, and it will hold its own really well in all of my situations: folk groups, rock bands with polite stage volume and DI out, full orchestras, etc.. For its size, the amp is LOUD and sounds about as close to plugging your bass directly into the board as I've heard, as well as having a nice EQ. You can also put a rechargeable battery into it and play it anywhere you like, so there's that too.

I think it sounds great as long as you don't push the speakers too far. However, when I had the David Eden 2 x 10 it really did move some air and it has a very Pro sound, I would think it's awesome for studio work. The D.I out is a bonus because it works great through the P.A. It's also ideal for plugging in your electro acoustic and has a compartment for a rechargeable battery pack. They normally retail about £450 I think, but you can bag a bargain on Ebay from time to time.

Phil just unveiled the Briefcase Ultimate this week (should be shipping in late summer). It's a limited edition version that's around 160-180w and has updated speakers (taking advantage of the new tech in the Bass Cub and the Double Four). So, deeper and louder than our original.

I've been meaning to get a 15 or 18 for mine for the last 13 years
if I ever gig maybe then

I play this 100 watt hartke combo. Great for practicing and the ocasional guitar playing.

Re: Bass amps. Whats your rig?

The ol' bass rig. That's a GK 400RB. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how old this amp might be? The model has been around a long time, but they've changed the cosmetics a few times. I think this one might date back to the 80s.
I use a Sansamp Bass Driver with it. It's like having a second channel - completely changes the voicing of the rig.

Re: Bass amps. Whats your rig?

thats a killer rig. I use a sansamp for the same reason as you.

Re: Bass amps. Whats your rig?

GK 800RB pushing an Ampeg SVT 410 (US model... late 90's, early '00's maybe??) and a Crate 215 w/ JBL's.... the SVT is for the tone... the Crate is for the extra 'thump' when I want it... I've got a few different odds and ends pedals that I use sometimes but it's mostly bass-cable-amp... I WILL pick up a Bass Driver at some point though... THOSE rule!!

Ignore the mess... Everything's dusty from sitting for a few months. I play lead guitar in my current band so I obviously don't have much use for that setup yet shouldn't be too much longer though... Then I'll take a little Armor-All to everything and get it cleaned up...

Next thing is getting the GK in a rack along w/ a Furman, tuner, and POSSIBLY an RBI (if I go rackmounted over pedals...) Like I said, the GK to Ampeg is THE sound I'm after, the 15's just push the extra air that I like to feel... But pair it all together and it does some pretty serious damage onstage. Cuts through the guitar stacks like a hot knife through BUTTAH!!!!
