Do you mean the existing speaker in the combo is 4ohms? Does the amp in the combo go down to 2ohms? If not, you may struggle

Pretty sure any chips in the BF finish can be neatly touched up with some more Tuffcab paint

I think Mr Foxen may be your man

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1384858893' post='2281448'] The Genz STL 6 can sound thin because they attenuated the low end for some reason! The STL 6.2 and the other GB amps have good bass response. The Streamliners apparently have a huge low end. [/quote] As I understand it, all GB lightweight heads have a high pass filter built in, but the cutoff point was lowered in later models. The Shuttle 6.2/9.2 and Streamliners have a cutoff point of 30Hz. I can vouch for the Streamliner having a huge new end, and my newly-acquired Shuttle 9.2 should be just as deep (first test tomorrow night)

[quote name='LeftyJ' timestamp='1384799697' post='2280891'] It may not be solid orange (the finish is actually called Autumn Redburst, with a beautiful sparkle that looks even better in real life) but the center bit is definitely orange! It used to have a tortoise pickguard but I changed it to a black one. Still keep the original one around in case I ever change my mind, but I think the black one looks better on there. Fantastic instrument, rocksolid, sounds great, and no weak G string issues whatsoever. [/quote] Gorgeous, a very subtle burst and funky sparkle

Yeah, my 100 watter is loud enough for the majority of gigs I've done, and not too heavy.

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1384766827' post='2280320'] Even though the G2 speakon and screws aren't flush - they only protrude a little and are as solid as the rest of the rugged cab. [/quote] Yeah, when I got my BF I was a bit dubious, but it has never been an issue.

You really need a DHA VT1 EQ, trouble is they are a bit pricey. If only you could get a bargain one somewhere........

Are the speakons recessed on the G3?

Funnily enough, I've been playing a bit of air bass this evening. A Hip Hop version of Chameleon by Urbanator: http://youtu.be/X0vOCIWlRus

It looks lovely as it is, but black would be even better

I'd expect that from a late '70s Fender (like mine, which has 0.8mm gap on one side*) but surprised to hear about it on a newer model. Personally, it doesn't bother me as the joint is solid and the bass sounds great. If I ever sold it though, it could be an issue to potential buyers. *I haven't had the feeler gauges out, it's just that it holds a 0.8mm plectrum perfectly.

The new thread title is offensive in that it lacks the appropriate passion and enthusiasm. ;-)

This may seem like a silly question, but I don't suppose, by any chance, that the bass' body is made of cheese? That would explain it.

I like that a lot. My friend was offering a spare ticket to see them in Kentish Town last week and I didn't bother - shame

[quote name='michinho' timestamp='1384512129' post='2277491'] Looks cool. Would it matter playing a bass overdrive pedal with a valve inside into a bass amp with a valve pre? Will this still effect the tubes in my pre amp? [/quote] No problems with that at all. You'll be able to set the pedal to overdrive, then set the level to match the clean bypassed tone.

[quote name='michinho' timestamp='1384507599' post='2277411'] Thanks this explains a lot. Could you recommend any at all? [/quote] These are great http://basschat.co.uk/topic/221660-dha-vt1-eq-di-further-reduction/page__pid__2276587#entry2276587

Tell him to sing the riff to "Smoke on the Water". When he does the compulsory involuntary air guitar, you will see which way his mojo points.

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1384450735' post='2276908'] Yes calling all Streamliner users.Any reliability issues? Need an amp to power the NX2-212 and considering the Streamliner but the Tecamp puma 900 is also a possibility [/quote] I have heard about a dodgy batch of LEDs earlier on, and some report the pots crackling when turned. Mine was fine and worked perfectly all the time.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1384446657' post='2276842'] To the blank? I bought a sheet from Warmoth like this: [url="http://www.warmoth.com/Blank-Stock-10x16-Green-Pearl-P1606C862.aspx"]http://www.warmoth.c...-P1606C862.aspx[/url] but I only bought 10" x 12" - i didn't need 10" x 16" - it is being shipped with the bass body. It will be more like a stingray scratchplate than a pbass plate, as it won't go down to the knobs - one reason why I got the green pearl inly knobs. [/quote] Cool, look forward to seeing it
