thanks, i thought so as well until i hooked up my genz-benz gbe 400 to it and found it to be harsh, edgy and brittle sounding...i demoed it with an old peavey mk.III and it was nice and thick and warm, which was probably the deciding factor to run the visa up again...that genz-benz is starting to irritate me considerably, really thinkin about chucking it...any ideas?

The "problem" with AccuGroove cabs is that the sound you get out is exactly what your amp put in. Definitely GAS inducing.

I have a Shuttle 6 that is not agreeing with my new GK Neo112's! I hear you! Am about to sell mine off!

yep, i thought so...i've had my doubts about that gb top for awhile now, i held onto it because it seemed like a decent back up top and it is for the most part. but when it makes a $1000 cabinet sound this bad, its outta here!...i'd rather have another peavey MK series...

I've been wondering about pairing a G-B Streamliner with something like your Accugroove. Not for the gritty overdriven thing, but just for warm tube cleans...

I"m currently loving the sound of my new Streamliner 900 thru my two Accugroove Tri115L's, for what it's worth.

I think you'll like the Tri-112. Last week I took a single Tri-110 on a jazz gig that was supposed to be quiet. The room was huge and the band wound up playing very loud. I was afraid I might push the 110 too hard, but it kept up nicely. I recorded that gig with a field recorder and the recorded tone was excellent.

Score!

You definitely found a bargain! Yours has the tweeter and mid-level controls? (newer ones don't) Over the four years I've been grooving mine, I've never gotten harsh. Amps I've used: EA iAMP 800, Thunderfunk 420 and 550, AI Clarus, Shuttle 6.0, Crown XTI 2000. Great woody mids - I love 'em.

For me it seems to be...Shuttles for doublebass and Streamliners for electric bass
