Genz Benz Streamliner-Pt 2

[KJung]

Sorry to derail the thread from bitchin' P's (I don't have pics of my US Glaub P/J here at work, otherwise I would contribute).

Ken, I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say about the Streamliner in regards to the RH450. I have an RH450 now but am gassing for the Streamliner. I think it would be an interesting comparison.

+1 I look forward to doing that comparison! I really dig the RH450.

I'd be interested to hear that comparison too. I currently have a Walkabout so I'll be able to post some thoughts on how the Streamliner compares to it, but I'm curious to hear about how it stacks up with the RH450.

Tom Bowlus did a nice write up on the Walkabout and the GK Fusion. I'll also be interested on hearing his thoughts on where the GB fits tonally relative to those two.

Since folks are posting pics of their P with Nordstrand to be used with the GB Streamliner, I thought I'd add mine. Here's "Hello Kitty:"

You know the Streamliner must be good if it's causing everyone to start posting pics of 5-string P-basses!

1342 posts and counting... I've never seen excitement like this for an unreleased product!

"not passive"

Nord Powered Passive P5,
that
would sound great thru a Streamliner!!!

 

[svtb15]

These are ready for my Streamliner

 

[12bass]

ACK! P Bass overdose!

 

[Jefe]

Here's my current P-bass that should be enjoying Streamliner love soon!
Sorry, I may be the worlds worst photographer.

It'll do passive if I pull up on the VTC knob!

The pickup is a Nordstrand.

 

[Chef]

Yessir, I guess you're right about that...

 

[Bass7755]

I'll be using this Coppolo KBP5 with my Streamliner.
I have had the bass for over a year. This is a barrowed pic.

I actually ordered the Streamliner with this bass in mind!

I played the Streamliner with a Fender 60's kind of P bass, through 1x15, 2x8-1x12, horn stack. It was bliss. P bass bliss.

So, "it's a heavy 4lbs?".....

My expectations were influenced by a Shuttle 6.0 that I jettisoned several years ago, and a 12.0 that I tried out recently; I was pleasantly surprised that the Streamliner felt solid & substantial.

Can someone try to explain the 3D technology that was mentioned in the manual and an earlier post? I have never played through an SVT or similar "tubey" amp, all solid states. I always felt that most of these amps were "missing" something to my ear - always seemed flat and boxy to me. I wonder if it is this tonal aspect of a tube amp that I am hearing and trying to understand. Better yet, a youtube or other recording that might help to understand this maybe? I am very interested in the strealiner 600 for my new 4ohm Avatar TB153.
Thanks!

One word...

WHOOMP!!!!

Yes, I remember the whoomptastical banter earlier

I could have played this passive P(J) through my S900 when it shows up but I sold it

Instead I'll have to make due with these reprobates
