    Perfect. Just listed my Streamliner 900. So fingers crossed I'll have some cash to play with.

    Ideally for trade for a 1 unit Tecamp Puma 500, but for sale if necessary. Genz Benz Streamliner 900 amp I bought it new from Bass Direct a few years ago. The only gigs it has done have been Orchestra and woodwind ensemble things. I have replaced the valves with a set of new JJ. They have maybe 15 hours of use. No more than that as shortly after changing my Demeter became my main amp. It does have the usual intermittent issue with the Blue LED lights. Often when the amp is on they are not, but the lights will then turn on later when they are good and ready. It does not affect the operation of the amp, and I believe there are threads on here about how to fix it if you want. It never bothered me. The price INCLUDES the super rare rack mount. It's more of a tray than a simple mount - it goes under the amp and the amp feet come off and the tray is screwed on instead. I had to get the rack from the USA and it cost me $135 dollars + shipping + vat to get it here. Better photos to come, but until tonight this old photo will do - ONLY the Streamliner and the rack mount itself is included. The rack case, the cabs the other amps / preamps etc are not included. I'll pull it out of the rack later and take photos from every angle. Collection preferred from Northants if possible, but may be willing to meet up if anyone has a 1 Unit Puma 500 for trade. Not interested in any other amp trade unless it weighs no more than 2.2lb like the Puma. If you want the rack mount on it's own - it's £485 and it comes with an amp! ta

    And.... Ordered.

    Bollocks to it then. I'll order one.

    I think I'll go for the Barefaced One-10. The PJB stuff looks excellent, but every now and again I end up playing with percussionists so I'd rather have a bit left in the tank. I'll use it with my Streamliner for the moment until I can raise some cash for a Puma.

    Anyone used it with a low B yet? Comments?
  7. fretmeister
    If the internal speaker impedance is 8ohm then you can use the other speaker out to plug into the Hartke as well. Two 8 ohm cabs in parallel give a 4 ohm load. If the internal speaker is 4ohm already then you can't use the Hartke at the same time as a 4 ohm + 8ohm load is actually 2.7 ohm and is too low. So find that out first. And DO NOT use a guitar cable. Use a proper speaker cable.

    If you just mean any old acoustic body then the body top is likely to snap to bits when you tune it all up. The internal bracing needs to be designed right for the string tension when in tune.

    Buy a Fender Kingman. That's a jazz neck on an acoustic.

    I might have to get one of these

    I use a pair of Berg CN112 for bigger things, so that sounds great. Has it got a fan?
  13. fretmeister
    Aside from being £75 cheaper, is there any going for the Puma 300 rather than 500? Does the fan turn on less for example?
  14. fretmeister
    The Puma 300 is 2.2lb as well. Far more options than I thought!
  15. fretmeister
    Don't laugh, but I'm trying to get the whole thing under 20lb. My back is properly f***ed and with the music trust group I'm with, there are a lot of room changes where I have to pack and move every 40 mins.
  16. fretmeister
    Ooo! A Barefaced 1x10 with the new Phil Jones head might be a cracking combination to try.
  17. fretmeister
    I'm in Northants. No dealers round here alas. The Cub might be a better bet.
  18. fretmeister
    I have a passive Sandberg that is perfect for the job.
  19. fretmeister
    Trying to get as little to carry as possible... Any thoughts on a PJB Cub or Double Four combo for playing with a half-dozen other instruments, mainly woodwind? I see the Double Four is an astonishingly light 8.8lb but can it really do the job? Or is the Cub a better bet, even if it's a whopping(!!!) 13.2lb?
  20. fretmeister
    Mmmm Would this do a nice plummy old school sound that would sit nicely with woodwind instruments?

    Why did they discontinue them? I had noticed less people buying them.
  23. fretmeister
    I'm a bit of a compression junkie so that appealed to me before I owned one. I'd be interested to try one with my Bergs. I play a lot with a local educational music trust band / orchestra and there just isn't room for pedal boards. I like clip on tuners but when 20 odd instruments are tuning up the vibrations in the room ruin the efficiency. I love the idea of having a tuner, compression and a bit of warm drive in the head. I'll have to borrow one to give it a try.

    I must try the RH750 again. I had one and didn't get on with it, but I've liked every demo I've heard. So I'm guessing it didn't get on well with the cabs I had at the time - I had a pair of Mark Bass Club 121 cabs.
