I've just recently been playing my old Ashdown evo 300 through my Vanderkley 2112 mnt cab and it's just awesome.This cab really brings the Ashdown to life , so much more depth to the sound that I've not heard in ages from that head. I've had the Ashdown for 10 years now and never wanted to sell it even though I've had a few heads since and now the Vanderkley takes it to another level of tone. I'm very impressed !

I found the big low end from the Streamliner coupled with the big low end from the Bergantino was just too much. Through the Vanderkley though things were much better. More definition and punch and a more 3 dimensional sound. To me , the Vanderkley was an easy choice to make once i had compared it to other cabs.

The streamliner and Vanderkley combination is awesome.Those cabs are fantastic and guaranteed to put a smile on your face !

I'm tempted to buy another two and use them with my Ampeg running in stereo but having recently acquired a Barefaced 2x15 I think I need to stop thinking about buying speakers for a while. I have more than enough :-) I meant to add earlier, mine are the 600w MNT model. They have the red fronts. IIRC from when I was looking at them the 300w model are the EXT and have black fronts but I'm sure Mark knows what he's talking about. Perhaps the 300s have red fronts these days. [/quote] How does the Barefaced super 15 compare to the Vanderlkley cabs ?

[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1331409422' post='1572616'] Ever so occasionally an old American Hartke XL will crop on here, and be around £100. Those are the ones to have. [/quote] I picked one up a year ago for £130 with a padded cover. Excellent cab.

I've had my ABM 300 for 11 years now , I've never thought the fan to be loud and when I'm playing I can't hear it at all.

Another vote for the Hartke. I had the Peavey cab , lots of top and bottom but the mid range was a bit lost. Also a massive cab which was a pain to transport. I've been using the Hartke cabs for 10 years now and had no problems with them at all.

Pics please !!! We need pics of your ....er....picks......

Keep the Markbass and use a Tech21 VT Bass pedal with it , instant Ampeg rock tone.

He seems a nice guy with a good sense of humour. I like his attempts at an English accent too , good vid !

I've been using Hartke 4x10 and 2x10 cabs together for 10 years now and never had a problem. It's true that the smaller cab works a bit harder but not much more. I've used various heads with these cabs over the years and they have all worked perfectly so I don't think you need worry !

I did a gig with Sweet on the bill once , they were just awesome !

The Streamliner is very simple but also very versatile. Best amp I've owned.

Nothing entertaining about that , probably the only ones really enjoying it were the guys playing / showing off.

Just because something is made in America doesn't mean it's made by Americans , just like something made in England may not be made by people who are English ! Solution is simple , if your'e not happy with it get your money back and play the basses that you already have and are happy with.

The 600 is grey and the 900 is silver. I went for the 900 because it's not much more money for the extra power. If you get the 600 there may be times when you wonder if you should have gone for the 900 ! The Streamliner is a fantastic amp though and I'm sure you will be more than happy with whichever one you choose.

I've has my ABM 300 for 10 years now and it's a great head and never has a problem with it. Since having the Streamliner however the ABM is now a spare as the Genz is just better ! I also don't fancy having an amp that's called a bastard...... I like Ashdown though but unless they bring out something better than the Streamliner I won't be changing.

I remember seeing him live in 1985. When he did his solo it was the first time I had heard a bass like that at a live gig. He played with awesome power and attitude , very inspiring to me at that time.

Joe Mcelderry did a spot before us yesterday at the Great North Run. He was a really nice lad and his voice was spot on. Should be a good session to work on , enjoy !

Carefull what you say about him around these parts...look what happened when I made a comment about Mr Miller ....

Well someone has got their knickers in a twist over my Marcus Miller comment haven't they ??!! Actually it's the music he plays that is not to my taste , nothing about not being able to play as well as him , ridiculous. Not everyone likes the same thing.Fact. End of story. Goodnight x

I'm well aware of what Marcus Miller does and it's just not my thing so to me £27 isn't a bargain at all. Also it's the venue that has put me off. Last year was great as it was spread out well , main theatre was perfect for the performances and good facilities for food etc. I enjoyed having some time outside too when the noise got to me ! The workshop I enjoyed most last year was Mo Foster in the smaller lecture theatre , I would definately go and see him again. As for this year , it seems a step backwards for more money , real shame.

£27 to watch Marcus Miller going slap slap slap slap slap ? No ta..........

I'm declaring myself out too. Shame really as last year's event was excellent and the venue was perfect for it.

Forget about all those fancy pants mega expensive boutique basses. Get a Precision or a Jazz and enjoy !!
