100W Stoneham valve amp - small footprint, lighter weight
bertbass replied to Merton's topic in Amps and Cabs
I think that EL34s sound the best. -
Ah, memories. I had one and it was the loudest Superbass in history. Bass, treble and presence on full, middle right off and volume to taste. Tone heaven.

As soon as they release a left handed version I'll let you know. -

I did say pluck.

It also depends where you pluck it!
-
The power amp input impedance is relevant as well.

A few years ago my amp died, I didn't have a spare but had a Traynor 300w poweramp available. I plugged my bass into a Behringer bass graphic EQ pedal and then into the Traynor, it worked a treat, infact, it sounded great with plenty of headroom. You could always get a small mixer and use that as a preamp.

My Streamliner 900 is up for sale and if you’re reading this you know what a great amp it is. All working perfectly, including the blue LEDs and in good condition. The carry bag is a bit tatty but still does the job it was made to do. £395 posted. The manual is available here, https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/106530/genz-benz-streamliner-900.html

Strangely enough I have the same problem which means I can't play any bass without a body cut and even that is now swinging out of sight. My answer, go on a diet. I know, it's hard but I'm 'doing' the Fast 800 diet and it actually works! I've lost a stone and a half since 19th April and apart from my jeans now falling down on their own, it inspires to to carry on. Slab body basses here I come!

The manual says, 300w into 8 ohms. Are you running risk of blowing the amp?

I bought one new lefthanded in 1970, from Bell's catalogue and if I remember correctly, it wasn't bad. Apparently, they are going to make a lefthanded Saffire. If they do, I'll have one. -
No left handed so not me.

How about just getting another van?

I’m selling my Burns 6 string bass. I’ve wanted one for 55 years and in August 2020 I finally got one. Green burst and short scale, sound and plays great. It arrived with a duff machine head which has been replaced with an identical one but with no Burns logo on it, I still have the original which I shall include. I’ve changed the strings with a NewTone set, which are great. It’s never been out of the house and is in as new condition. In love this bass and really, really want to play it but I can’t. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t get used to the string spacing and extra 2 strings so I’ve decided to let someone else have a go. It could be you! I’ve still got the original boxes and am more than happy to box it up, however, I’d like the new owner to arranger a courier. The bass weighs 3.6 kg, the boxes weight is 2.7kg, total courier weight is 6.3kg. The box dimensions are, 138cm x 51cm x 20cm. I’m after £325.

Cherry for me but I'd want a left handed one so probably not.

This!

Many, many, years ago, probably very early 1970s, I acquired a pair of 4 inch ITT hifi speaker chassis. I made a couple of boxes, probably about 6 x 6 inches, out of old 1 inch shelf and mounted the speakers in them. The cabs had no backs but I did put something like carpet felt over the backs of the speakers. They sounded truly amazing. Wish I still had them! -

Not yet, but I will as soon as I can get the cash together. I quite like the idea of a Stat bass, left handed.
