...and as a follow up after last night first outing with the Streamliner 6.0 & Barefaced S12T.....OH YES!!! Big ear to ear grins here

I have had a Mono double for the L2500's as it makes life easier loading the car and as my gear travels by car not van. Really pleased with it & so far no problems

Forgot to add to my report from last night. The "support" was a a group of Morris Dancers, whose opening number was a version of "[i]Stairway to Heaven[/i]" re worded as "[i]Stairlift to Epsom[/i]" if I heard aright

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1322997307' post='1457987'] Sweet Fanny Adams - great rock album. Set Me Free, great rock track. Mick Tucker - one of the best rock drummers ever.

Prog gig last night @ Weltons Brewery in the brewhouse which was different. Inside but it was open to the elements so the crowd were wrapped up warm but we were fine under thw lights. First night with the GB Streamliner 6.0 and it sounded marvellous A few slip ups but no one died. Most annoying was playing through a new number (Spocks Beard - Day for Night) pretty much perfectly in the sound check - that I wasn't recording or videoing - then having a few issues on the gig, which was a shame. Had some people looking quizikly at the bas pedals as to "what the hell!?" Just the Wal all night because there was not a lot of room but it was all good (after a mad dash round Bognor & Worthing to get some new strings in the morning

Can't help as I'm the wrong end of the country, but [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/129360-gb-streamliner-berg-ae112/page__view__findpost__p__1454115"]THIS[/url] was my view of the two A/B'd through a Barefaced Super12T last Saturday before I left the shop with a new Streamliner 6.0 I don't know that it's better than the Shuttle, but it is a very different beast that I loved through the cab for the styles I cover. The Shuttle was too clinical for me

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1322664191' post='1454129'] So you are saying that you play a Synth with your feet ? Garry [/quote]Yes .... well one of these anyway

I picked u a STreamliner 6.0 at the weekend that will be used with my Barefaced Super12T. I went down to Nevada in Portsmouth with the L2500's and S12T cab to try out the Streamliner with the cab, and while there A/B'd it with a Shuttle 6.0. The Shuttle is nice, but for what I want the amp for (classic rock, prog & a bit of poppy country) it was too clinical and bright. The Streamliner was a lot warmer - three valves no doubt. Into the S12T with the Streamliner I was adding in a bit of the horn. With the Shuttle I was turning the horn off completely as it was too bright

Got a Roland PK5 recently and that is presently firing sounds on a Roland D110 rack. All pretty vintage stuff and, unless I was going to take up tap dancing, is just used for low bass notes on hold. I do find that it is safer to play in socks as there is more chance of accuracy. With shoes on - unless they were winkle pickers - I just end up triggering the wrong note. The original intention was to use them to trigger samples in a Sampletank Player on the laptop, but as the PK5 is MIDI with no USB connector I was getting notes sticking & all sorts so that idea had to be shelved sadly as I have LOADS of samples in ST including SampleMoog (so Moog's through the ages)

Right try this for size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn9Bo0UbQQM Seemed more appropriate than Yakety Sax

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1322348036' post='1449882']That needs the Benny Hill music so much [/quote] I have just the piece. Edit follows.....

How time flies when you're enjoying yourself[b][color=#ff0000][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i] ... and see the new version a couple of posts down with some sound added...[/i][/font][/color][/b] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCq6QPqmrIA[/media] Another good afternoon in good company A corner of vintage awesomeness courtesy of Chimike Well done Plux (aka The Demo Biatch) for being the constant in a spin round the room and through the ages. Thanks to Nik for setting it up, coffee and tea, and buying the LMT ...just don't tell MrsW. I think I've got away with it so far

I have a "visit" to make first Will be there ASAP

It was all a bit wierd for me on my IPAQ a couple of days back. Not sure it had auto detected it. I shall have to experiment further

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1321969678' post='1444897'] I specialise in classic rock and have played in a purple tribute band and I play fingerstyle exclusively. Well *almost* exclusively .... a trick I use when a very pronounced attack is needed is to press my forefinger and thumb together and and pluck the string with the tip/nail of my finger near the bridge. IMO this actually sounds better, brighter and more dynamic, than using an actual pick. [/quote] ... which sounds like a pick style, just you have dropped a pick and not managed to pick another up. I does, I suppose give you the easier option of switching quickly between the two [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1321970758' post='1444916'] What I would do: 1)Agree to try the song with the pick and proceed to play intentionally badly. Make it clear that playing with a pick is not your natural style. They will soon realise that, in your case, fingerstyle sounds better. And hey, you gave it a go! [/quote] ...except in that case you haven't actually given it a proper go. [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1321970758' post='1444916'] What I would do: 2)Begin the song with the pick, then halfway throught move around so they can't see how you are playing. Switch back to fingerstyle. After the song, see if anyone noticed a difference. [/quote] ...however, this is a far better option of those two

Have a look / register if on the [url="http://www4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~koesters/Privat/Wal/walspec.html"]Wal Database[/url] Might home you in on the year a bit, mind it's not an exact science by the look of it. I was pretty sure mine was '82 which is about right on the d/b but there is an earlier number showing as '83 and a later on as '81, so.... Main thing is if you've found a good'un enjoy it I had semi retired mine when I got the G&L 5's but took it out for r/h's and a proggy gig I normally use all three for as the only one and it was bl00dy lovely

Had a guitarist stomp off in a huff when the mini easter eggs he had bought as a gimmick to give to the audience were just lobbed in handfuls in their general vicinity by the vocalist

OOPS! Failure in the pram/toy interface due to sudden onset BJ Syndrome

Voted. I have only really used it a couple of times I think instead of +1 Not something I had ever really worried about - though this did make me go and have a look at my meagre total
