Currently considering downsizing from my present rig to a smaller combo Just wondered if anyone had tried one, and what they thought? For me i'm looking for a small combo, with a big sound

I've recently been restoring a Westone Thunder 1A, for me it was one of the best budget basses around in the 80's, price wise they are costing as much now for a second hand one as i paid , ummm several years ago brand new. It seem's loads of people talk highly of them, and remember them as good basses in there day. I seem to recall another bass that wasn't expensive back then was an Ibanez roadster 2 series, I had one of these too, it was a great playable bass. Any others, people remember and why are they so desirable, am I trying to regain my youth, lol, that left years ago.......

Had one for my Ashdown Combo, great quality, although I must admit the first one that they sent out was too short, a quick call and the correct cover was sent out. I'd definetly recomend them.

I'd say walk away, I did when i was in a similar situation, never looked back. As BigRedX says taking time out from such a situation can be useful.

My wife came for the ride, so she was cool![/quote] the last visit i went looking for a cab, i bought a bergantino AE210, although i now appreciate a pair would have been better, I thought the other half wouldn't be impressed, after a good chat, a few days laterI thought i'd go back for the second one, but it was too late, it was sold. In future perhaps i should have gone with my instinct, you live and learn......

[quote name='thebassman' post='1343763' date='Aug 17 2011, 10:18 PM']My set up should be loud enough then, because if I am reading it right. The berg ae210 is an 8ohm can, so running at 375 watts. my cab is 4ohms, so would run at the full 600 watts. I presume you don't have any volume issues. Cheers Thebassman[/quote] no no volume issues for me. You're right the berg is an 8ohm cab, I had considering pairing it up with another berg cab, but as they are not making the AE anymore it was not to be. Who knows might check out the new range sometime?

[quote name='thebassman' post='1343604' date='Aug 17 2011, 07:56 PM']Thanks for all the info guys. Are we talking about the 600 or 900? And through what cabs? I have a 2x12 Mesa boogie 4 ohms.[/quote] In my own case I run a GB Streamliner 600 through a Bergantino AE210. For more info on the streamliners the manual can be downloaded from the Genz website.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1342772' date='Aug 17 2011, 09:42 AM']After fiddling with the Streamliner 900, Ive really grown to love it (again). My tip for any 'tube grind' (if you want it full on) with the Streamliner is: Gain full Volume at 9-10 ish Bass 10 Mids 3 (600 setting) Treble 1-2 Make sure you use a pick, and have your tone control up full/treble rolled up if active. Sound pretty close to the Orange Bass Terror, just a different flavour![/quote] thats pretty similar to how i have my streamliner set, and i think it sounds great

Thumbs up for a smooth transaction today when Beefyeggo bought my Cort bass. Hope he has fun with it, seemed a shame for me not be using it.
