Anything you want

Seriously. If you can find the tone you are looking for on bass with this amp, you're doing it all wrong. The tube front-end gives you warmth and the solid state back-end provides punch! This amp is extremely versatile; 2 channels, effects loop, incredibly clean and quite DI out. These amps are not very well known in the GK line but are their top of the line amps.

The only negative thing I have to say about this amp is, it's 3 rack spaces large and not light.

If you can find one, buy it. You'll love it.

A great-sounding, LOUD amp with the signature GK sound!

Had one several years ago, and regretted selling it. I've been a big GK fan since I started playing- my first real amp was a 400RB-III.
