  1. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1318878566' post='1407346'] I'd have thought that the Genz Benz STL9 would also be a good candidate. There's one in the FS section. [/quote] I have no experience of the Aguilar, but the Streamliner would get my vote over the TC. The TC colours the tone a *lot*.
  2. A good way to check would be to run an mp3 player into the aux input and crank it...
  3. Hello! I wanna tell you a story. A few weeks ago, I was gigging my Promethean, and the sound turned to mush part-way through a song. At the end of the tune, I checked it, unplugged everything, tried again, and it was fine. I didn't give it another thought until JPJ (BC'er, not erstwhile Led Zeppelin recorder player) came around for coffee one morning. He was interested in the Prom, so I gleefully demo'd it for him... and it sounded cack. Washed out and floppy, to be precise. I was horrified. Turns out something was loose in the assembly behind the input jack. I could ease it gently by wiggling the plug, and depending on how it was jiggled, it would either sound washed out and floppy, or the SHAZAM! punchy Promethean tone we've grown to love. I took the head apart and had a mooch around, but I'm cack-handed so in the end I took it to a repair chap who fixed it and gave it a going-over for 30 quid. Thinking back, I remember the moment I'll have done it - I was reaching over the combo one day to pick something up, and I accidentally caught the plug, giving it a shove. It had been slightly wobble ever since. Err... that's it. Hope it helps.
  4. FWIW, it's rare for them to have issues IME.
  5. Yip.. The last day and a half, or so. It's been resolved in the last couple of hours.
  6. Ooh... Just spotted the lag has pretty much gone on the iPhone for me too. Happy days!
  7. There's problems on VM at the mo where some users are unable to access a lot of sites... BC included. They're looking into it, apparently...
  8. Are you a Virgin broadband user by any chance?
  9. Hmmm... I still think the number is too high for a '71. I'd need to see a neck stamp...
  10. HTH did i miss that? I'll blame it on new baby-induced sleep depravation.
  11. I think calling it a '70 is on the optimistic side. My '71's serial number is a couple of thousand lower. Very nice if it is what it is, though - the rosewood they were using around that time is beautiful.
  12. I used to own one of these - it was great...
  13. [quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1318611320' post='1404400'] We need to make him stop it. I still have dreams about Wot's Streamliner sat on my cab. [/quote] Sorry. But it does sound very nice. Just sayin'.
  14. The Chain is flippin' awesome from start to finish. If you'll excuse the pun.
  15. Lovely head - I miss mine more than the M-Pulse 600 I also had at the time. My God, I was so extravagant back then. Happy days. Anyway, the closest alternative I've found to it is the Genz Streamliner. it has a similar round, punchy boot-ay.
  16. Excellent.. I really hope this is a hit for them.
  17. IMO - run away.... Use Roqsolid or someone else instead.

  18. Transients add to my enjoyment and make me play better... that's part of the reason I couldn't get on with the RH450.
  19. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1318592336' post='1404062'] How so? [/quote] I'm intrigued too... the box sizes are comparable...?
  20. Gorgeous! I *love* the preamp in these...
  21. Johnnysonic60 is a regular on the Fender Forum... nice chap.
  22. Nice to see he hasn't deviated much from the HS210. It confirms he got it right first time.
  23. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1318424694' post='1401954'] hmmmm..not for me. Not sure about the low frequencies being a factor off axis, myself, but don't want to go off on that tangent. [/quote] Ah - I mean keep the box as-is, with the staggered drivers, but put the badge and handles in the vertical stylee - most people seem to use them that way. He did that with the last run of AEs, I think...
  24. Yeah - they look lovely. I'm surprised he didn't go vertical for the 210...
  25. Hi all Jim's put his new line of ceramic cabs [url="http://www.bergantino.com"]on his site[/url].
