Genz Benz Streamliner, Part 10

What's up TB, I'm looking to get a smaller bass cab to pair with my streamliner 900. I found a great deal on a Trace Elliot 1518c and wondering if any of you streamliner owners use this cab and if it sounds nice. Any input will be much appreciated

What cab are you playing through now? Any of the Genz Benz cabs will pair well with the Streamliner. I run mine through the NeoX 212T and it is awesome. I'm probably gonna end up using the new Ampeg 212 AV cabs cause I will be getting the V4B reissue soon and want a cab that fits it aesthetically. From the little I've heard of the 212 AV I think it should pair well with the Streamliner too.

The Streamliner sounds great through any Bergantino, Aguilar, SWR, Ampeg, Markbass and of course Genz cabs. At least these are all of the cabs I have played with it. It even sounded good through a Crate 410...

I'm using an ampeg 610 cab, I love how it works with the streamliner, I use it more then my svt cl. I need to down size cabs because we lost our big practice spot and space is a premium now. I found the Trace Elliot 1518C for a really good price and that's why I want to get feed back on that cab

One of the cabs I really like the STM900 through is an Xsonics 1155TF. Mine has a Peavey 1505-8BW. That 15/5 driver combination really works. One other tweak I made to my rig: changed the low mid frequency on my Roscoe's Aggie OBP-3 preamp from 400 to 550 Hz. I followed mid voicing Option #6 on Aguilar's OBP-3 wiring diagram. Boosting this frequency restores the normal Streamliner dip in that region, leaving me free to use the mid at 2500 Hz which sounds better with most of my cabs. Flattening out the mids this way (along with the Jan NOS 5751 in V1 position) really makes the STM900/Roscoe pairing sweet. :hyper:

I have a few GB amps, GBE600, Shuttle 6, Shuttlemax 12. I recently picked up another Shuttlemax 12 and traded it for a Streamliner 900 and wow, this has now become my favorite amp. I have Epifani UL410 cabs and a TC Electronic 210 and the Streamliner sounds awesome through both and fits nicely in the front pocket of my Undercover Gig Bag. I thought my other GB amps sounded great, but the tone of the Streamliner 900 just floors me.

I'm with you. I have a Shuttlemax 9.2 that I love, actually I try to get the tube channel as close the the Streamliner as possible, but the Streamliner is my all time favorite.

I HATED my Streamliner & Epifani combo... thats scoop city... super warm & thats that.

My 9.2max gets most of the gigs due to the footswitch & dual channels but I love my Streamliner still. Sounds great through GK cabs

Just bought an Eden EX 112 & that sounds AWESOME with the Streamliner.

Love how Texan & I are holding strong with the Streamliner.... we aint selling ! ha ha

Man, I've rolled through many cabs with the Streamliner and Shuttlemax 9.2 and I have to say that the Bergantino AE410 AE212 and Ampeg SVT810 were spectacular with either head. The Aguilar DB series pairs well with the Streamliner, but not the Shuttlemax.

I'm very anxious to see what Fender unveils at NAMM in the coming weeks. I'm hoping Jeff Genzler has been allowed to do good things. A Streamliner type amp with 2 ohm capability would be nice.

No intention of ever selling, so there are at least 3 sitting at the cool kids table.

George string and holdsg. 2 guys holding strong too! For some reason my phone automatically put holdsg in my contacts. I figured I'll leave it there in case you sell anything else crazy ha ha

Yeah, I'm definitely keeping mine - it has the best sounding DI I've ever heard in an amp, gets me *close enough* to all-tube sound, fits in a laptop case, weighs less than 7lbs, and has been stone reliable... What's not to love about that???

I go back and forth between my Streamliner 900 and a Mesa M-pulse 600, and really enjoy playing thru either...
