Hearing the Shuttle 9 last night for the first time

[ledyard]

There were two stages last night at the show we played. We headlined the big stage and there was a side stage. I was talking to this other bass player, older guy and quite a gear head like myself. He was playing in the headliner for the small stage and also one of the openers for the big stage. So I let him use my rig since it was backlined already.
I stuck around after to see these cats play. The guy was using a Shuttle 9.0, two Avatar 1x12 cabs, one with a neo, I forget the other. His bass was a Lakland 55-01. The band was kinda jam oriented but they were fantastic.
Was my first experience hearing any new GB stuff. I must say the 9.0 was WAY better than I expected. This coming from a die hard Ampeg/Mesa guy. I would love to try a 9.0 through my Mesa PH1000 cab.
Anyone play a 9.0 through a big cab?

He's been to the last couple NAMM's I guess and we were talking about the TC RH450 and the new GB Streamliner which he said is even better than the 9.0. I think I might have to give one of these a shot if nothiing else than to have a very light back up and a portable side rig.
