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.

Why do some bands tune down. I have an upcoming rehearsal with a band that say's they tune down. Can someone explain why they would do this and what if any are the benifits? :confused:

I want to get a rack for my Genz Benz ShutlleMax 12.0 but I want to see how they fit and look. I know I will have to buy the Genz Benz rack mount kit. I am open to other suggestions as well. :)

Does anyone have one of these and if so what do you think of it? Pictures would be nice. Im just looking for ways to better protect my Shuttlemax 12.0 There is not much information on the GB website. Thanks

I have been invited to play in a band with no fulltime drummer? Sometime they use one, but mostly conga's? They play variety music 60's through current. Beach, Classic, Southern Rock, R&B? I've never played in a band without a drummer, opinions please :hmm:

Has anyone rack mounted their 12.0 head that has any pictures? I have been looking at a Gator brand rack because they are light. I don't want to put a 7lb head in a 25lb rack case. My only reason is to have better protection for the head on stage! If I could anchor it to my 212T NEOX I wouldn't...

I bought this bass having never owned a 5 string! I bought it NEW the end of May 2009 and it has only been played out in a gig situation one time. It is a beautiful & awesome bass that plays and sounds great. It is like new, not a mark on it that I am aware of and the only reason for selling is...

I just picked it up yesterday and I am already saying it is the best playing bass I have ever put my hands on without question. It is way beyond my expectations :) Now I just need to keep working with all the tonal options to find what suites my taste! The Wow factor on this thing is just...

Well by this time tomorrow I will own an EBMM 25th Anniversary 5HH! I'm hoping it will be everything that I have hoped for since I have not played nor seen one in person. I have confidence that I will be a happy man come tomorrow! A leap of faith based on the opinion of many others. I can't...

I have never had or used any effects while playing. The only thing inline is a Korg tuner. So I have been told for years by other bass players that I should get a compression pedal. The question is why and if I get enough saying I should add one, which one. I like a clean sound, play finger...

I have never owned one but I have ordered a 25th Anniversary 5 string HH with rosewood fretboard. I just fell in love with the pictures of it and I know I will be pleased! Let the wait begin :D

I need to see some more pictures of newer model Stingray 5's before I decide on what to order. I like several colors, but show me what yours looks like. Thanks

I am about to pull the trigger on a Stingray 5 HH, now a few questions. One is the Stingray 5 made in the U.S.A. as I have been told? I keep reading posts about the need for neck adjustments frequently, if that is so why? I have played two different Stingray 5's but I am going to order online :(...

I want a 5 string made in the USA that has active & passive electronics, 34" scale with PUPs that will give me a very clean sound when I want it. I am open for suggestions please :bassist:

I was in a music shop to order my new amp when I seen this Ibanez SRX655 hanging on the rack. I took it from the rack and in 5 minutes had decided to buy my first 5 string. Three weeks later I love the balance, weight and the way it plays. The only issue is I can't really get a clean sound out...

Just curious as to what wax or polish are you using. :)

Well I had a chance to put my new rig to a live test and I am blown away! Wow! I played the whole gig through the FET channel and never turned a knob. I started out with it set just like I had practiced at home, and never touched it. Just a four piece, guitar, drums, keys and me without PA...

Okay now that I have it, how best to protect it? Micheal forgot to order me the bag, no big deal but I want to protect it some way. What are others using, anvil type cases, pelican, rack mounts I am open to suggestions. I need to do something soon, it is to big of an investment to not protect...

I am darn near speechless, blown away, by both the sound of this amp and the sheer power! It will be a while tinkering with all the possibilities that you are given in sound control to decide a favorite, if ever. I am truly amazed. My new 5 string Ibanez has active PUPs only and my ears can't...

Ok I am old school, been out of music for a long time, but I am jumping back in. I have noticed that many bass players use effects and I never have. What is it that I am missing? What do you use and why? :confused:

This is my first 5 string so I didn't want to lay down major bucks on one just yet! I picked it up liked the way it felt, got a real good price and bought it. Now I have to teach myself how to play it, or adjust to it, so far so good. One question I have is that since the pickups are active all...

After a ton of time, messages, phone calls, reviewing this forum and making it right with the wife :smug: I order this rig today! I am expecting great things from both the Shuttle Max 12.0 and 212T NEOX cabinet. I big role in my decision was reading what other TB'ers had to say, but I think the...

I have given Genz Benz a hard time on this forum out of frustration about several supposedly Dealers I have called about their gear. The folks from Genz Benz have been extremely courteous and helpful. Thanks much to those guys! Today I called Ye Olde Music shop right outside of Charleston SC. I...

After numerous hours spent on this forum and other web-sites, I think I am going with this combination for a new rig. I am going to make one more call tomorrow on my original thought which was the Genz Benz 6.0 Shuttle & GB 2-12 NEOX. I have spent hours trying to get information and finding...

From reading reviews on this site and others I had made my mind up to buy Genz Benz, probably the Shuttle 6.0 and a 2-12 NEO or two 1-12 NEO's. Every dealer any where near where I live say "I can order it for you". I am in Columbia SC no one here is a dealer. There are dealers within a couple of...

Okay so I know that the BX500 is lighter and newer electronics, but other than that what if anything makes it better than the BX600?:confused:

I have been dormant for the last several years, and now I intend on finding a group to play with. I have been looking at new rigs that are not overly heavy, but I don't want a combo. Unless it is a combo with enough power for an extension cabinet and headroom to boot. One head that I am looking...

I feel like it is a steal, but is a Genz Benz 2-10 cabinet that is rated at 350W into 8 ohms worth $250.00. Is there something I should maybe be wary of? It is in great looking condition and has a grey carpet type covering. I don't know exactly how old it is, but apperance wise it looks great...

I have a chance to buy an older 3-4 years, I would guess, 2-10 cabinet for a very low price. In a small space will it produce enough low end as a stand alone? :confused:
