You could do the same thing with one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-UNI-II-RACK-SHELF-19-2U-DEEP-350-BLACK-/271405974739

In 45 years of playing, I've not used my own amp only once.

More than happy with mine as well.

Woolworths special from the early 70s.

Hey, Hastings voted No. 1, probably because I live in Hastings.

I could do with some advice please.

I didn't go to the bass show and I've got one of them and I'm left handed. Not sure about the hole but the p pickup is routed through to the control cavity and the J has a hole drilled from the pickup cutout to the control cavity. Hope this helps.

BFM has got a forum for them here, http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewforum.php

Have you seen the new simplexx cabs by BFM? Might be worth a go.

I love valves but they only sound good with the amp turned up, when they're really quiet they just sound like any amp. The Streamliner has got the valve presence but at any volume. I've only used it with the 69er of course and imo.

I just posted the following in another thread but it seems appropriate to post it again here, so here it is. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i][color=#282828]The truly amazing thing to me is that with the Streamliner and 69er, I get the same sound at whatever volume I play at, from silly quiet to, well, heaven. I've never had that before with any other gear. It's always had to be in the sweet spot, ie, loud, to get 'that' sound. The other thing I've noticed, or should I say enjoyed, is that I can hear every note on the fretboard, never had that before either.[/color] [color=#282828]Streamliner and 69er, to me, the perfect combination. [/color][/i][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#282828]I would assume that the 69er is not unique in this respect and that the same could be said for all Barefaced cabs.[/color][/font]

I've used both and I thought that the Fission tracked better, also, with the Unibass you have a slide switch to change effect type whereas with the Fission, it's all done with foot switches.

We're a 3 piece as well. An example of how I use mine is when we do the Spencer Davis Group, Gimme Some Lovin'. The guitarist uses a pog so we've got the organ sound covered. I play the main riff with bass and an octave up and for the chorus I press the 5th footswitch and I'm playing chords above the bass line and then back to just bass and the octave up again. It sounds so full and powerful. A drummer friend of ours who heard us play it, said it sent shivers down his spine it sounded so good. As a pedal it's not perfect and as others have said it can sound synthy and possibly a bit harsh but in with the rest of the band and through a separate amp it's brilliant. It's like being Thin Lizzy all on your own or hit the 4th button and you're a one man Deep Purple and Rainbow tribute.

I've got one and love it. Seriously great effect. It's to me what an 8 string bass should sound like. Mind you, the built in distortion is not that brilliant but it does have a separate effects output and I take this to a separate amp and use the amps distortion. Brilliant. If you have any questions just fire away and I'll do my best to answer. Did I mention that I love it?

Don't know a lot about Kam, but we've been using a pair of these, http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_d4500.htm and I'm more than happy with them.

8.30 - 9.30, half hour break then 10.00 - 11.00 is pretty normal for us.

Number 1.

Saw UFO there many years ago. Great venue.

Looking at the band, I'm always on the left but that's because I'm left handed.

I've just read the thread about the new Ashdown Rootmaster 420 and Mr Ashdown said, "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You often find people are more keen to point out when they have problems than reporting that all is well and something is doing its job as intended", which is very true.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So I'd like to say that all is well with my Streamliner 900 and it's doing it[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]s job as intended.[/font][/color]

I though that the Pepsi ad at the beginning was brilliant!

Normally get this in my thumb at the start of a gig when using a pick when I'm tense / nervous. The big 'gig' when you've got to impress.

If my memory serves me well, Carvin 10s were much the same as Eminence Beta 10s until they moved production to China where they became an unknown quantity.

The best head / cab combination that I've ever played was a pair of Marshall Super Bass hundreds through 4, 4x12 Sound City cabinets. The sound was clean with just a bit of valve 'edge', not overly loud but consistent wherever I went on or off stage. High highs and low lows and incredibly responsive. It looked amazing as well.
