Gallien-Krueger NEO IV 1x15'' Bass Cabinet - 500 watts, 8 ohm
Additional Photos:
Introducing the new NEO line of bass cabinets from Gallien-Krueger. Building off of the previous iteration, the new NEO series features an upgraded look, construction, and features. The new form factor is shared with the Fusion and Legacy combos, making it the ideal extension cabinet for these combos, as well as, standalone cabinets for GK's Legacy and Fusion heads.
CABINET CONSTRUCTION
The new NEO series features a light-weight plywood construction with ample bracing that creates an extremely sturdy box. The inside of the cabinet is covered with damping material to absorb high frequencies from the rear of the speaker, preventing them from coming out of the port and interfering with the high frequencies from the front of the speaker. This results in a smooth and pleasing high end response. A metal grill and ultra-tough cabinet coating finished with metal corners, ensure a long-lasting enclosure that will withstand heavy use and maintain its good looks over time.
SPEAKERS
The new NEO IV series incorporates custom Neodymium woofers designed and manufactured by GK. Die cast frames are used exclusively, delivering greater durability and power handling than the cheaper and more common stamped frame designs. The voice coils utilize edge wound aluminum ribbon wire, which compared to the more common round wire, makes a speaker that is far more efficient with greater power handling. The NEO IV also features a real crossover and a system to protect the horn from excessive power bursts.
COMPLETE PACKAGE
This is the most advanced cabinet that Gallien-Krueger has ever released, building off of previous models and ensuring that every detail was looked at. GK custom designed their speakers and cabinets from the ground up to work together along with their heads to deliver the best possible performance for bass guitar.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
