The Streamliner sounds much richer more lively than the TC...[/quote] The TC sounded really dull and muffled to me. Really dissapointing.

hasbeen Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 [quote name='Linus27' post='1168873' date='Mar 19 2011, 09:23 PM']Nice one Gareth this was my concern. Think I will go for the Shuttle 9. I love the all black look [/quote] the Streamliner has quite a bit of zing up top, if you want it. There was a lot of slap bass played through it when voicing it. The tubes are supposed to add warmth....not "dark". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Try both if you can However if you like the 6.0 you will love the 9.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 3 valves in the pre..?? I like valves at that stage. I think the trend is to get them involved after the recent spate of mini amps, that might miss this feature; for example, the markbass amps can sound little sterile and bland so would benefit from them, IMV. Great at quieter volumes but lack something when pushed harder. Mind you, that doesn't save the SVT3pro. IMHO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Had the chance this afternoon to try WoT's Streamliner and... I'm impressed! It has to be the first of the lightweight amps that has had authority (not volume) yet has had an openness/clarity to the tone. I had three of the MB amps when they first came and I trialled WoT's TC and I didn't think any of them cut the mustard for me, certainly none have worried my allegiance to the Thunderfunk but the GB certainly has something above all of the other micro amps. WoT has kindly offered that I can try the GB out with the full band in a couple of weeks time and that will be an interesting trial. I'd have to say that you need to be a little careful when using some of the gain settings when using cabs with certain horns/tweeters but if you can attenuate the horns/tweeters or dial in the right settings with the GB it'll not be an issue at all. Yep I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skychaserhigh Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 My Streamliner arrived today. It really is the closest thing to a valve amp in a micro size. Very impressive !! Gig on saturday night to try it out properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggy Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just got back from collecting mine from Mark at Bass Direct (I bloody loves that place I does). First impressions - Very happy with it. As warickhunt mentioned above there is a real authority about it. Set flat it sounds very good, very 'wide', that mid frequency selecter will come in handy at a gig going from a sharp punk tone to a ska/reggae tone. I'm not going to really know until I gig it, but lets just say I am quietly confident While I was there I umm, accidently, kind of put deposit down on a Berg AE 2x12, that little cab is a bluddy monsta [attachment=76414:STR9_3.jpg] [attachment=76415:STR9.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some more audio-only clips I did with a decent-ish recorder... I tried to drive the amp hard without upsetting the neighbours...! I don't know how useful these are, as they were done in a hurry, but I'll post them anyway. Apologies for the occasional clipping...

dave_bass5 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Bugger. I knew i shouldn't have clicked on this thread. Ive been thinking of downsizing my MB SA450 9yeah, really) and have been tempted by the few TC 4500 Classics that have been turning up on here, but after seeing this, and hearing the clips WoT has kindly uploaded im now 99% sure ill get a 600 sooner rather than later. I was going to get a new bass but i think after 4 years with the SA450 im ready for amp GAS. The 600 will be more than loud enough and the price seems pretty good compared to the other small heads around at the moment. Anyone care to comment how these sound compared to the MB heads?

skychaserhigh Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm not too good at describing sounds but let's just say that I did my first gig with the Streamliner on saturday and my LM3 is now going up for sale !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Cheers, I'm sold. I see that Nevada music are advertising them for £569 and in stock. Damn, i could have one before the next gig (if the website is accurate) My SA450 will also be up for sale soon.

dave_bass5 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks mark. I think im now going to go with what i have for a while. I really dont "need" a new amp and while that never stops us spending money i want to check out the new Matt Freeman Squier P bass first.
