[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1343119692' post='1745368'] The Stingray is the only Bass that gives me serious Gas !!! I think it's not only the most fantastic sounding Bass it's probably the prettiest, I know a lad who has a flame dark Orange Stingray and I'm sure I would sell one of my happy sacks to buy it off him ! As I'm not a serious enough player to own a Ray .....it is one i will always admire from afar ! [/quote] And again I have 3 and I am also rubbish!

Still giving it a whirl, its very odd but what else would you expect!

Thats where its from, If you download it you get a sort of EP sleeve which tells the tale of his love of that book

[quote name='aldude' timestamp='1343071000' post='1744834'] They definitely have their own sound. I like both of them to be honest. The tube channel is nice and warm but the FET channel is clean, so wonderfully clean, and seems a bit more pronounced in the upper mids. The amp itself is largeish, bigger than my old RH450 but certainly much smaller than the Trace head I got rid of ages ago (mostly due to its size and weight!) The Genz is very light. Looking through the fan vents, there seems to be a lot of room in there, so I guess it could have been smaller, though that would make fitting all the controls on the front a bit of a squeeze. There is [b]c[b]onstant fan noise[/b],[/b] about the same as an idling Xbox, so noticeable in the quiet if you're up close but totally absent even at fairly quiet practise volumes. So far, I'm loving this head! [/quote] Everyone goes on about Streamliners as if trying to be a valve amp is the only point of having an amp at all yet the shuttle type preamp is a great sound anyway plus the FET channel stolen from the lowly 3.0 is great too, A new version 18.2 with all 3 pre amps (streamliner,shuttle and FET) into 2 900watt outputs would be super cool! It was because of the fan noise I decided to get the 3.0 for home practice and as a backup head for weddings etc

Yep I like it too

TBF Gust0o the topic is called getting rid of TAB

Tipped off by a friend I have just downloaded it for $1 you can have it for free or any amount you like right now, just google it. Only just listening now, its odd but so was the lady that said I should get it Chili's fans will recognise Jack Irons as a name from the past!

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1343068390' post='1744758'] Whats the deal here? if you don't like tab just ignore it. I like tab, so use I use it. Different horses for different courses I guess. [/quote] Its hard to not let your eyes drift down to it sometimes though when you really want to get it right from the score, reading in key also means that even if you know where a F is on the staff unless you can read it would be flat if you were in the key of G Major for example. This thread is going to become about tab and reading not just the fact that someone trying to read from the staff does not want the tab below (the title is a little cheeky I guess) Its a bit like taking an exam you really want to pass fair and square but someone has put the answers below each question! Put them on the back or on a seperate sheet, I have no issue with that.

I'm thinking I might want one once the funds have built up a bit, shame no one wants to sell them secondhand! I guess I would be better off with one of the 900 watt versions just because I already have the 3 and 6 in single channel variants?

I wondered how long it would be before this thread was taken out of context!

Can you blend them into one output of 600watts 4 ohm or does it have to come from each side?

Im loving that! What do you think of the FET channel on its own? I have a 3.0 and a 6.0 and I think I prefer the sound of the FET only 3.0 over the valve 6.0, I would have a 600watt FET if they did one but what you have (or the older 12 max) would basically give me just that. Hhmmm....

FWIW I am a novice reader and the tab just pees me off so Im with the OP, some books have the whole song in tab then the whole song in score, it's much better IMO

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1342945714' post='1742917'] Yeah. To be really really honest- the one thing that's always put me off is the way EB sells them. I dunno but I don't like that company. [/quote] I have never really thought too much about that side of things, if it's hanging in a shop and I like it I will buy it, I'm not on the EBMM forum either (registered never been back). What do they do that Fender don't and visa versa?

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1342945486' post='1742914'] Stingrays are one of the basses I've never really tried. Want to though, I had a project where a made a fretless mess of a bass with a no name MM pup in the right spot. that was nice. Prob I will build my own bass in a stingray style. To me it, it's not the same, but the way that it can sit in the mix and fill it out makes me think of it as the update of a p bass [/quote] I presume this was Leo's plan?, It worked

Always find the kitchen sockets! If anyone asks you tell them its just for the lights for on stage elf n safety Although I know what BRX is saying the trouble with these things is that they are crap! One gentle tap of a rattly snare drum and they are off sometimes, we have had others where as long as we kept it at a normal level it never peaked past the amber all night?

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1342911500' post='1742771'] My 600 & Super12T is a great combination. I decided the 900 would be complete & utter overkill for 90% of my gigs, particularly with the BF S12T efficiency. C[b]an't keep the damn thing quiet enough for my lot most of the time [/b] [/quote] This is why I bought a shuttle 3.0 to go with my 6.0, sometimes the 6.0 (same power amp as the streamliner 600) just cant get to a low enough volume especially with my 2x12 cab, I have concidered a 9.0 or a streamliner 900 but Im worried it might be too much in the same way?

That looks good

It's the best sound

From the list I would take a gb 9 max, there is so much talk about everything trying to sound like a big valve amp yet the GB FET channel is brilliant! Couple it with the valve channel, make it blendable and fire it out of their 900 watt output stage, what's not to like?

Don't Hartke do some fairly cheap priced cabs? I'm sure I was looking at a brand new 1x12 on eBay before buying my Genz one.

We got a good frontman/guitarist for our last band from band mix but I've never found anything for myself on there.

[quote name='GetYourFunkOut93' timestamp='1342734219' post='1740335'] What about instead of 2x 112 OR 2x 210? [/quote] General concensus is that a 2x12 is on par with a 4x10 and 2 stacked vertical is equal to 2 4x10's like a conventional big rig. It's worth noting that the Neox is 4 ohm which suits me better than a single 8 ohm 4x10 anyway as I'm never going to need more than one 2x12 as it stands so I get the full power from most amps with only one cab

[quote name='GetYourFunkOut93' timestamp='1342732697' post='1740295'] Will it be loud enough for a rock gig with a guitarist rock a 4x12 and 2x10 cabs? :/ [/quote] Hell yeah!

2 EQ Rays are the best!
