Tonally, the Streamliner is unbeatable, IMO. I'm clutching at straws to think how I could possibly improve it (bear in mind I'm a simple chap) and all I can think of is a tuner and a clip light. The RH450 is a monster when it comes to features, but the truth is I never really used any of them.

I use a Zoom H2. It's champion...

[quote name='Jesso' post='1257988' date='Jun 6 2011, 01:23 AM']Now that's what I'm talkin about.... I've had a hankering to try some Bergs for a while now. Those cabs look quite big physically due to the offset positioning of the 10s. How would you rate one of those cabs next to a GS112? They're expensive buggers too... am I right?[/quote] The cabs do look big in the pic, but singly they're really very compact and an easy lift. The whole shebang is very stable, and it'll never topple... especially using a micro head. I've never used a GS112, but as far as I'm aware it's quite a scooped cab. The HS210 isn't... it's got lots going on in the mids. Expensive... yes. Like Stella Artois. I'm lucky - with the Streamliner, I've hit on a perfect combination. I barely use both cabs any more. The STL and a single cab don't half chuck it out...

Yep, he's got it spot-on...

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1255328' date='Jun 3 2011, 12:25 PM']I had a rehearsal (low volume) with my drummer/guitarist/vocalist about 10 months back...bear in mind we did this where I lived so it wasn't that loud! The single middle pup nailed the P tone...and the front pup sounded woody warm and weirdly articulate considering it's location. I had a good few hours through the headphones along to as many different styles as I could try out, fiddled with the pup settings and it worked really well [/quote] Ah, cool. It sounded like you'd had loads of live and studio experience with it, and I was wondering how you found it.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1254926' date='Jun 3 2011, 01:11 AM']It sounds wonderful in a mix, believe me. Before judging it, try it, that's what I did [/quote] Did you get to try one at a gig?

I had a mudbucker. Great bass, but an unusable pickup for my needs. Earthworms could hear it, but no-one else.

Nom nom nom!

[quote name='misrule' post='1245987' date='May 26 2011, 06:04 PM']From tomorrow's Sun. The sobbing woman was my wife. Seeing Rush for the first time since about 1980 proved too much for her Cheers Mark[/quote] What the heck's going on with Rush? They used to be MY band. Now they're even in the flippin' Sun.

[quote name='Steve Dixon' post='1245496' date='May 26 2011, 12:46 PM']if you don't see the value in it, you can always say nothing, instead of treating it as an excuse to imply your 'serious composer' credentials[/quote] I was merely asking what it was for. To be honest, I still don't know.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1245272' date='May 26 2011, 10:01 AM']Bless Norwood. There are loads of bands that were improved by the use of drugs - look at the sh*t the 'clean' Chili Peppers are putting out these days.[/quote] I think that says more about how the Chili Peppers can't create anything decent without a bit of help, rather than the benefits of drugs. Ask Frank Zappa.

[quote name='crez5150' post='1245258' date='May 26 2011, 09:48 AM']How on earth do we bassists have fewer notes???[/quote] I have thirteen-and-a-half.

Has anyone got any experience with Tea Bag-End cabs? I'm just wondering if the way the grille is perforated lets the tone flow out uninhibited...?

I's a bit of a Jarre freak, and I like loads of acoustic stuff. So... nah. There doesn't have to be bass. BUT... when it coms to The Black Keys, White Stripes, etc.. I'd rather hear them with a bass. Never liked the Doors.

I still don't get it. I guess it's just not fer me...

[quote name='silddx' post='1244200' date='May 25 2011, 01:18 PM']Err, it seems utterly pointless to me. Would someone kindly explain what I'm missing here please.[/quote] I'm struggling with it, too...

Wow.. this thread is heavy going. Anyone fancy a cuppa? I'll pop the IEC on.

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1243643' date='May 24 2011, 11:04 PM']i must be stuck in 2004 then..whats wrong with enjoying something thats now, regardless of how its made..? just because someone makes music in a certain way doesnt mean its not good.. just me maybe.. [/quote] That's fair enough. I'm just saying that, as a result of how it's made, I find it dull and linear. Always did. Each to their own, eh?

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1243630' date='May 24 2011, 10:56 PM']IMO, ok he is looping , but the guy is very good. and what a voice..[/quote] Oh, aye... I'd rather hear it with a band behind him. Once the novelty wears off (as it did in 2004 for me), I always find looped stuff to be dull and linear.

Every time I see someone building tracks with a looper, I want to shake them by the lapels and scream 'It's not 2004 any more!!' Yeah, it's clever... but a band would do it [i]better[/i]. IMO, of course.

[quote name='skidder652003' post='1243601' date='May 24 2011, 10:38 PM']Im sorry but was it me or as per usual, was every band bass player on the show tonight slinging a precision or a jazz WTF? Dont get me wrong, i love em but FFS whats that saying about every young bass player in a commercially successful band, sheep or what? Or does the "evil" empire of Leo have the industry's balls in a vice like grip of kudos and commercial nounce? - Discuss....[/quote] Maybe they just like them.
