New Amp recommendations.....

[Freddi375]

Hi all,

 

I have been using a Streamliner 900 for a fair few years now, and along with my TC RS212 cab and fender elite 4 jazz bass, I have the perfect sound for me.

 

Now looking to purchase another amp so that I have a back up, but looking to get something a bit newer which still has the heft of the streamliner in the class d package. 

 

Would also consider a bass power amp (class d size) which I can plug my Sadowsky preamp pedal right into.

 

Any recommendations appreciated...

 

Thanks

Freddie

Or Ashdown RM500 / RM800

As you won't need the preamp section if you use the Sadowsky, any sufficiently powerful head with an effects return or power amp in or PA power amp will do the job.

If its just a backup though I would the Bugera Veyron would be the obvious choice as its seems to be intended as a streamliner clone especially given the price: https://www.thomann.de/gb/bugera_bv1001t_veyron_bass_head.htm

 

For a full fat modern replacement then Genzler is run by the guy who used to own Genz Benz I believe: https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/genzler-amplification/genzler-magellan-mg-800-two-channel-bass-head

If you love the sound you've got. Why not buy a second preowned Streamliner 900? They are superb amps, with wonderful tone (save the irritating often faulty blue LED backlighting).

Here's mine. Still haven't forgiven Fender for running Genz Benz (and SWR) into the ground!
