Dial in your ideal sound with GK's Goldline 500.

The Gallien-Krueger Goldline 500 is a bass amp head that was developed to complement the look and tone of the GLX series bass speaker enclosures. The GK Goldline series is an ideal marriage of affordability and outstanding quality.

The Goldline 500 bass head features a 500W, solid state amplifier and a foot-switchable boost "valve effect" channel. GK Gate-Induced Valve Effect, or G.I.V.E. technology, was developed by Bob Gallien in 1972 and is part of what gives GK its distinctive sound. The Goldline 500 bass head is made using the same quality components as GK's professional products, such as a high-current power supply for maximum punch and a toroidal transformer for greater efficiency. The adjustable contour and active 4-band EQ make it simple to dial in a great sound. The Goldline 500 delivers a warm, punchy tone with a fast transient response that not only sounds better, but feels better.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

    As reviewed by Mr. J on 2/17/2010

    I have used the Goldline 500 for about a week now and it is "all you can be". Have not run it red line yet cause don't have hearning protection (>85dba). Trust me, drive this amp on 2 sets of 4-10 cabs and you might hurt someone. The pots are dirty/dusty on my GL 500 so still trying to loosen them up. All and all I'm happy with it. Can't match this at the price I paid.

  • Simply Great!!! Boom for the buck!

    As reviewed by brian on 6/9/2011

    ive always liked GK stuff but when i saw this was on clearance and a 4-10 goldline cabinet for cheap, i had to try it!! wow! glassy highs down to booming lows! for real, and everything in between is right there!! mids in your face! you can dial in most any tone you want! this amp makes more than perfect use of 500 watts! you can run 2 full stacks on this thing with these controls! i run 2 4-10 cabinets, one gold line and one backline 4-10, and im really happy with my sound!!! i dont need to look anywhere else, i got it!! dont hesitate to try this amp!!!

  • When I needed a head

    As reviewed by Travis on 3/21/2011

    So, I was using the GK RB1001, and the relay crapped out after about 6 months. It happened during a gig where I let another bass player borrow the head. While the 1001 was in the shop I picked up this Goldline 500, and when the RB 1001 was fixed I never went back. The tone of this little guy is awesome. I play it through an Ampeg HLF 6x10, and it just has a deep deep warm tone. I have an Ampeg Svt 4 Pro now, but this 500 will always be my back-up.
