    Poll: Vote for your favorite amp brand. Please read the OP.

    Genz Benz Shuttle is my personal choice. I've spent lot of time deliberating and seriously my way to genz benz was quite long. I have great experience with many other amps, Ampeg is wonderful, EBS Fafner, Glockenklang, over9000 of other heads, I guess Marshall VBA400 was the best I ever played...

    is there such thing as a lightweight Warwick?

    ... in contrast to its price)))) According to my experience, the Streamers LX (early ones, 1996-2000) are pretty light.

    Getting a gig-rig, need some advice

    I would rather go with Hartke 3500, moreover with the old version of the amp, just plain 3500 without any letters, if it will be possible to find it used, of course. Hartke 2500 is great, no argues, however it is not loud enough, IMO. Anyhow, it is always good to possess some power reserve...

    Why do I hate Ibanez SR basses so much?

    Oh, what a great topic is over here)))) Smth tells me, that Barts pickups and Ibanez SR basses have only one thing in common... it's the Bartolini name on the covers, inside there is anything else, definitely. In my opinion, Ibanez SR series possess only one merit, that's the ergonomics...

    shipping to Russia?

    Let me ask, please, where so much scepticism and fear of Russia come from? Personal experience or just some rumours? I do realize that Russia has always been a little strange country, however, we're living in the 21st century, already and these are the things that should be done away with...

    Yamaha Nathan East: Overlooked "Boutique SuperJazz?"

    Thank you all for help, the serial number has been found right on the plate in the control cavity. Here's some pics of me with the BBNE2 The Bass is just great. I do fully agree, that on-board preamp delivers plenty of sounds, it saved me lot of times on stage.

    Yamaha Nathan East: Overlooked "Boutique SuperJazz?"

    Hello to everybody. Well, guys, BB East owners, I can not understand one thing. I've never been thinking about it, actually, anyhow, I've looked at the backside of the BBNE2 headstock, and... tada-da-da... I haven't found any Serial Number on it. Nothing but the usual stamp "Made in Japan"...

    Single Bass Gig Bag with Pocket for Shuttle 6.0

    KJung, you know, the main advantage of Rockbag, that here in Germany, you can find it almost in any, even very small, store. I've thinking a lot whether to buy Mono M80 or iGiG, as you told. Anyway I should buy it somewhere abroad. At least Rockbag is a good solution in my case. This is my...
