Just curious, Andy: Would simply replacing the Eminence drivers in my NeoX with those manufactured by Faital upgrade it to an NX-2 equivalent? I'm not interested in buying another cabinet right now, but Ed Friedland's video review of the NX2 (which he released about 3 months after I bought the...

"Andy is still doing Genz warranty mad scientist repairs from my info,, but has something cooking at this time.. And it has the potential to blow the roof off and shake some ground... " Hmmm... I'm still as happy as a clam with my GB STM-600 + NeoX 212T. But svtb15's comment leads me to...

Hi, Lewys. Completed the survey. I thought the last question ended with a twist. I've never recycled with the intent to receive any sort of reward, if by 'reward' you mean a financial one. Your survey has prompted me to inquire about locally available sources for recycling old strings...

...if you please.

I'm curious to know how well they work for you. Like I said, the SITs that came on the D-5 sounded good - just a little too bright. (Sorry 'bout hijacking your thread.)

Thanks for the suggestion, Mad. Those are actually exactly what Jason recommended to me, but the low B string would still have to be top-loaded instead of through-body, because the winding length is only 37". Maybe I'm just being too nit-picky, but I figured I'd ask around. Thanks, though...

@ ShowKing: Mind if I ask what strings you're using now? I have a 34" scale bass w/ a string thru body bridge. It came from ESP w/ SIT roundwounds, strung through the body. They sounded great, but a bit too bright for my taste. I'm having a bit of trouble finding...

+1 My 1st setup, a cheap bass + 30 watt amp, cost $228 out the door. It sounded worse than bad, but was good enough to convince me that playing bass was something I wanted to get serious about. Then I picked up a 12" combo amp that cost more than original setup, upgraded to a decent set of...

Thanks! The sound is unbelievable - at least to my untrained ears. And incredibly versatile, too. It's gonna take some time to explore all the "voices."

Been listening to the Streamliner through headphones for a week. Just got the cab last night! :bassist: Number, please? Thanks!

Good news: My GB NeoX 212-T arrived today! Bad news: I've got to go to work tomorrow. I was delighted to learn the one Musician's Friend sent to me has the "new cosmetic update," weighing in at only 53lbs instead the advertised 62lbs, tolex covering instead of carpet, and sporting the...

Well, I made the decision to go with the Streamliner over the Shuttle. I'm now the proud owner of a new GB STM-600! I've only been able to play it with headphones, but I REALLY like the tones I'm able to dial in. I can hardly wait to hear what it sounds like through a real cab. But...

Exotic wood, subtle grain, satin finish and a warm tone with great sustain make an irrestible combination. Makes me want to play "just one more tune..."

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, everyone, for your opinions and suggestions. For better or for worse, I just bought a new (well, almost new=opened box, but w/ full warranty) GB STM-600 Streamliner for $548 (incl. shipping). Time to start saving up & searching for the right 2x12 cab to pair with it. (I just need...
