Order a new ray with the SLO neck shape. It's like a jazz / sterling.

The Dam Busters March. Awesome bass part to play.

I gigged the HA3500 for years. Great amp that never let me down.

That is absolutely lovely. Please share the price when you find out. I'm getting inappropriate feelings about it...

If it works on the Low B then I'll have one. None of the others do. At least not properly.

Tall Font again! What a great sound! Be even better with a clean blend on it.

See if there is a local music trust group for kids. Donate it to them as a spare.

I have a TM5 already and it's brilliant. The quality is amazing. But I'm still happy that any new one I buy will be different - far too many Fender clones out there already.

I really like the new ones as well. If I wanted a Fender I'd buy a Fender. As it happens I'm in the market for a 4 string passive jazz type and I was looking at the old TT Sandberg - but I really like the newer shape so I'm going to wait and try a few.

Dark glass Duality. Awesome thing!

I think I'm going to sell the Shuttle 9.2 and then see what happens. I like it, but the Demeter does the clean & clear thing already. The Streamliner is stunning with my Stingray. And - I won't have to rip apart my rack to get photos of the Shuttle done! Laziness wins!

For me the extra low notes are a big part. I'm often given piano scores to play from and a piano goes lower than an E! Of course I could play octaves, but sometimes that really changes the impact of a tune, especially if everyone is heading towards the basement at the same time- just one instrument going up is odd.

I just played them both for a hour. 1 head into it's own Berg CN112. Kept swapping between them. My favourite swapped with each bass swap. AARRGGGHHHHHHHH

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1433950555' post='2795374'] Sell both. If you want more dirt then put something in front of the Demeter. If the Demeter ever dies then borrow something to cover the downtime. It is not as if the Demeter is a flaky piece of kit. [/quote] Mmmmmm If they both sold at sensible money that would fund a very nice power amp for use with my Ampeg preamp. Mmmm indeed.

I don't need to sell but I'm also trying to cut down on the stuff that doesn't get used much. I'm trying (badly) to be a player rather than a collector of shiny things.

[i]This is not a sale thread (and anyway I have paid my subs).[/i] My current amp collection is a Demeter head, a Genz Streamliner 900 and a Shuttle 9.2 and a Roland Bass Cube 30. The Demeter and the Roland get loads of use. The 2 Genz amps haven't got a look in since I got the Demeter. They are both brilliant but I don't need 2 spare gig-capable amps so one of them must go. But the question is - which one? The Shuttle 9.2 is super clean and with the right settings does a great impression of a Trace Elliot (always liked that sound) The Streamliner 900 has a distinctive tone and despite it not being as versatile as the Shuttle does seem to sit in the mix better for old rock, Motown etc. Used they seem to sell at about the same money, so that's not an issue. I just can't decide which one to sell. I'm aware I might not be able to replace them if I ever change my mind. When I use either Genz it's generally as a power amp for an Ampeg preamp I have, or just for a bit of variety. But I still only ever take the Demeter out. Any thoughts?

All my basses are different and need different strap lengths. So the ones I play most have their own straps. The ones that I play rarely don't. Edit - I'm a big fan of Neotech Mega Bass Straps. Really comfy and great with a heavy bass.

The full name of the company is "Sterling by Musicman" No doubt who has ultimate control there!
