    Stingray 5 single H question

    I am considering a Stingray 5 single H and play mostly country, southern rock. I currently gig with a EBMM 25th Anniversary HH. I am concerned about having enough low end. Anyone using a single H. All opinion are welcomed.

    Genz Benz Streamliner-Pt 2

    For now I'm content with my ShuttleMax 12.0, anything Genz Benz builds is quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Genz Benz Uber Bass 600W 2x12 vs Left-facing Genz Benz NEOX-212T 600W 2x12

    You can't go wrong with either the Uber or Neox, Genz don't make bad gear. I can't think of anything out there I would trade for my current 112T and 212T driven by a ShuttleMax 12.0. I rarely use them together, the 212T gets 90% of my use.

    Genz Benz ShuttleMAX 9.0 Now A Reality

    To me it would seem that all this is dependant on other factors, such as the bass? I've never heard two basses that sound exactly the same. So I feel the instrument plays a huge role in the sound you get. Most of my controls on my ShuttleMax 12 are never touched. I have them set not far from...

    Genz Benz ShuttleMAX 9.0 Now A Reality

    Maybe in a year or two, but my ShuttleMax 12.0 delivers everything I've needed and more. Twice the power I was running 30 years ago from my old Peavy rig that done a great job and still will............ I just don't see the need for more power. Even when not having PA support, the 12.0 has been...

    Peavey 215BW speakers

    Not sure if this helps but I bought a Peavy rig in 1981 with 2-15 BW's. Also the next year two of my friends bougt them as well. I still have mine in excellant condition. In that time frame all the BW's I ever seen in any enclosure had shiny bright metal dust covers on them. I never seen one...

    Why so many folks selling Shuttle 9.0s?

    I can't say anything on 9.0, but my 12.0 ShuttleMax and 212T Neox does all I need. Every now and then I'll bring along the 112T Neox , more for show than anything. It gets used in small venues and does well for me. Sometimes I think my rig don't sound right, different rooms different...

    Tuning down?

    First off, yep I knew that was down the neck, thanks for catching that error! Well I guess I'll get used to it if I end up making the cut with this band. How do you go about getting properly tuned. I'm not sure my tuner will tune in steps, I think I remember reading it does. Boss TU-2 ?

    Tuning down?

    I was watching a video of them playing and trying to play along and found I had to play one fret up the neck towards the headstock to be in tune. So I assume that would be a half step.

    Tuning down?

    Actually, this band does primarily Classic Rock. If I understand correctly they play the entire gigs this way. It's sort of confusing to me as to why.
