Welcome, Ozzy! Your English can't be as bad as the Brits'.

What are you guys talking about? Nobody even understands that Mark accidentally sent him a Barefaced? PS no ill intent. Have ordered BF myself.

Welcome, Luke! bert

Thanks, guys! MM20, I thought you too had mentioned you have three of them. I get SRPete's historical thing that leads to owning three, and I do get MM20's Streamliner vs Shuttle thing. In fact the input that you guys provided me with earlier led me to invest in a Streamliner to go with my GBE. (and thank you again for providing me! I love it.) For now I'll assume then that Genz do not make three strongly different lines, and that the difference between a GBE and a Max is mostly about trad. vs. Class D, and not about voicing.

We all have issues, so feel welcome, Bailey! bert

Noticing that several on here own three Genz amps, I wonder if that is historical (as in owning say a Streamliner and a ShuttleMax and an old one), or whether there is a rationale for owning three new ones (as in say a Streamliner, and a GBE as well as a ShuttleMax). More specifically: in addition to the GBE not using Class D, are the GBEs and the ShuttleMaxes voiced differently from each other? Or is this about transportability or other stuff?

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1383965270' post='2271440'] please keep your " its because its a girl sh*t" to your self. can't be bothered with it. [/quote] its because its a girl sh*t Must admit I love breasts, but also dislike this particular use of them at the same time. Other than that, I'm not critical of her playing, nor wildly enthusiastic. The vid did inspire me to try those funky lines though.

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1383928219' post='2270970'] I fear we might be in for a spate of threads saying: 'It's arrived! Here's a photo of it in my living room." [/quote] I'll write to BassChat. We might be allowed to post in the same thread together, and get a code for an extra discount.

Welcome, Dave! (I presume) bert

Welcome, Ricardo! bert

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1383748464' post='2268507'] I guess it's a question of degree. [/quote] I'm totally with you on that one.

Good to read you've seen the error of your ways. Also, thanks for filling me in about the VanderStream. Looking forward to it.

Great gear, Sgh, but now we can all see what a liar you are! It's not [color=#ffffff].[/color][color=#00ff00][size=4][b]. . . . : . . . . .[/b][/size][/color] but [color=#ffffff].[/color][color=#00ff00][size=4][b]. . . . : . . . . :[/b][/size][/color] Do you like shoving the Streamliner through Vanderkley? I ask, as that is what I plan on doing soon. 112EXTs in my case.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1383383234' post='2263781'] Does anyone else play.? [/quote] Yup! I have some very old gear (mid 80s), in a Yamaha KX88 MIDI keyboard and a Roland MKS20 piano module. Great gear, but I would still like to get a new piano that has everything in one unit, including an amp and enough good speakers. However I tend to use my money on bass gear given half a chance. The piano is a fantastic instrument in my mind, and I would hate the day I am without one.

Thanks for posting! Finally someone who plays like I do! (banging on bass body - - though in my case it's an attempt at reaching the strings). Seriously though, though I don't dislike bass solos like others do, and liked this well enough, happy and effective as it was, what moved me most in this vid was in fact those low double notes. I love relatively tight intervals in the lows.

As you may expect, I'm not able to say anything about culture and reasonable expectations in the UK. But IME, in order to limit the amount of noise experienced on the other side of walls and floors, in addition to reducing the bass frequencies, the best thing is to augment your cone area, IOW to buy an extra Compact. Though it may well be that my experience is too limited, and this idea defies physics. Me, I always use two cabs, one placed in ear height when I stand, and one in ear height when I sit (leaving just enough space between them for the amp to sit). I then play sitting/standing within one yard from them, them pointing directly at me. When I check with the neighbours (my ex and my daughter), they'll always tell that they hardly heard me, and it wasn't annoying at all. Of course my ex isn't a grumpy stranger, and also she herself is guilty of playing a classical guitar every now and then (which I wisely do not criticise ).

Welcome, Mitch! bert

Welcome, Dave! bert

We're silent, but we're silently in awe, Blablas. Again: thanks for sharing!

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1383052306' post='2259512'] It is not based on repetition and most people like repetition. [/quote] At it's core, music [b]is[/b] based on repetition, so that statement in that exact wording will fall in the very first stages of a serious discussion. You may wish to rephrase.

Welcome, grogg! bert

Huh? Wo' we say?
