Genz-Benz Streamliner Part 6

[Red Planet]

I understand that slap tones (and other tones) are subjective, this is a great amp but it does not do Marcus. I agree with Greg and others that it would be nice to see a second amp (leave the streamliner alone) with more tone options like hi-mids, more slap hi's and a global tone shaper but keep it simple.

Like say something like a Shuttle 9.0 or even perhaps maybe a Shuttle 9.2.

Genz better get on the move.

How about the GATOR bag.....got one for my LMII and it works pretty good.....

I'm using the same Gator small mixer bag that I had used with my LMII and it works fine for my SL900.

Finally got a chance to put the Streamliner to the test with the Uber Quad. Its good! I really like the lowend of the cab.

I use a pair of those 1288s. .and when the two are together they sound great on stage.... very controlled and focused

Great amps but a second amp with the streamliner's preamp would be nice.

I'm torn between two Quads or an LDS 15/6 or an Avatar maybe? So many cabs so little time! Who makes and what are the pastel colored pedals in your photo Smallequestrian?

Controlled and focused is a perfect way to describe the UberQuad. I can't imagine what two of these sound like...thankfully one of them is plenty for any gig I'll be playing.

Those pedals are from Source Audio. I highly recommend them.

Wow, those are NICE.

Reading these GB Streamliner threads made me do it. Guys at Bass NW hooked me up. Thanks to all who contributed to this discussion.

Lovin this setup, very nice. Neox 212T cab.

Gig with my STM600, and Schroeder 2x15 last night.
Never though I'd find my sound in a 51 pound rig.
But this rig is insane, P-Bass Joy.
GAS FREE FOR EVER.

Hey Mojo-Man, how is the headroom on the SL 600 for you? Do you always have a bit to spare?

 

[Smallequestrian]

Wow, those are NICE.

I'll give you a tour when we actually get together.

I agree. Just got my Modulus Q5 back from repair tech (spring adjustments) and paired with a Berg cab and the SL 900 it sounds great. The Streamliner adds some good warmth to the clean, almost sterile Modulus. Nice super clean sound with warmth and that modern sound. Me likey.

That should sound really nice!

Just ordered from Rocket Music. Will be running my Lakland Daryll Jones Skyline through it to a pair of Aguilar GS-112 cabs! Very excited . Will post a picture when it's all together!

Thanks for the *long* discussion thread on this amp - that really pushed me over the edge.

The SL through the GS112s will be a heavy sounding meat and potato rig..

Streamliner 600 arrived. So far only been able to try out via headphones as my rig is at our practice space. The headphone output is lower than my shuttle 6.0. I post my thoughts once I play tomorrow.

Nice 600! Have you checked the name brand on those 12ax7's? I was just looking through the plexi and saw that I had 2 Ruby's and 1 JJ. That's kind of funny isn't it? I figured they'd use the same brand pre-amp tubes, what the hey, what do I know though.

Didnt check yet. I know my shuttle has a Ruby 12AX7 stock. I will check it out later.

 

[Red Planet]

I believe they all ship with a JJ ECC83 in V1 and two Ruby Chinese AX7's in V2 and V3.

I believe the Ruby's are those Select Tubes IIRC.

BTW for those that don't know if you don't get your JJ tubes from Bob at Eoro Tubes you may get a dud. Bob gets the cream of the crop. Everyone else gets whats left. New Sensor ships boatloads of bad JJ's on a regular basis.

I think I would like the JJ ECC803 better in V1. Of coarse I have the (real) Mullards and Blackburns in my Streamliner.
