Given the size of the Compact, would you leave it on the floor or put on top of something? Steve[/quote] Will you be able to hear yourself over the rest of the stage noise if it's on the floor? have you got PA backup? have a look at: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/technical-information/stage-or-floor-coupling.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/technical-informa...or-coupling.htm[/url]

So, it looks like people who don't own a piece of equipment [i]can[/i] come up with good advice and recommendations after all![/quote] I don't own one yet but I have had long email chats with Alex and done lots of visual auditioning, I'll be going down to Camden next weekend I think to do some audible auditioning and trade my PJB for a GB Shuttle 9.0

I may be in South Yorkshire but a midlands bass day might be quite close to me!

[quote name='nottswarwick' post='1309348' date='Jul 19 2011, 04:50 PM']bloody hell, no pressure then lads haha :-)[/quote] Haha indeed! Although I was already fairly set on a Shuttle 9, I've set up a deal with the Gallery and just need to get down there with my SixPack (from Sheffield on the train!) to do the trade, I'll probably pick up an Epi UL110-2 to tide me over until a Midget-T arrives but I'll try as many other cabs as I can while I'm down there...

I too am eagerly waiting to hear what you make of it! I'll probably be pushing the button on a Midget-T very soon to go with a Shuttle 9.0 that I'll also be buying...

everyone should try to have at least the ability to pull off most if not all techniques as learning a new one will further inform the other techniques you already have, it also makes you much more versatile

it's the same technique on whatever bass you try, a wider string spacing 'may' help you early on but I slap my stingray5 occasionally (only when called for) and it's got fairly narrow string spacing

Having looked at all the options I could, epi, aggi, van derk, genz, barefaced, very, I would have beef if poss and then barefaced over all the rest, I don't yet own any of them but that's where I'm at...

Shuttle + barefaced, it's what I want too!

I asked a similar question recently (see below thread link) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=145496&st=0&p=1301011&#entry1301011"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry1301011[/url]

This is the exact rig I want but I don't have the cash just now as no-one wants to buy my SixPack! so...because this is a killer rig I want someone on here to buy it before some other monkey snaps it up!

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1305236' date='Jul 15 2011, 09:52 PM']I think the '9.0' is meatier came from Genz themselves?! Im sure it did. Whether its just headroom or voicing, the lows on the 9.0 are thicker and fuller, but the 6.0 will get there with tweaks. Then they went all out on the Streamliner and introduced and amp with SO much usable low end, that people are cutting it! The SL900 is a real 'meat and potatoes back to basics' bass amp. Clean tube fatness, but with a sweet high end, (nothing shrill). It sounds massive.[/quote] Streamliner 9 sounds perfect, I really need to get somewhere and try 'em

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1305217' date='Jul 15 2011, 09:40 PM']If I had a pound for pointing out both the 6.0 and 9.0 have exactly the same around 37Hz Shelf with the low button engaged and 80hz shelf without I'd be rich! (well about £8 richer ) This myth started early on when a review stated the 9.0 as 37hz and the 6.0 as 80hz shelved, they can both do either and the internal components are exactly the same the only difference is the final output stage after any sound alterations have been dealt with. Any extra bottom end at regular volumes bearing in mind a 6 with a 4ohm 4x10 or 2x12 is good for a 1000+ venue without PA support I don't see many people having trouble with a 6 or a 9.[/quote] I love a good myth debunking, monster helpful! Thanks matey

[quote name='owen' post='1302639' date='Jul 13 2011, 05:50 PM']Andy, I feel your pain. Auditioning with your eyes instead of your ears as all of us who do not live close to any of the larger music shops is a total lottery. My answer will ultimately be to max out my credit card and order 3 or 4 candidates and mess with them with my own kit and then send all but one back under the distance selling regs which mean you can send anything back within a fortnight.[/quote] Cheeky but I love it!

[quote name='alexclaber' post='1302603' date='Jul 13 2011, 05:09 PM']Any accurately rated 500W amp will have almost as much headroom as an similarly accurately 900W amp! It's less than a 2:1 difference, which is less than 3dB. And when you figure in power compression the difference is even less. For differences in power to be truly significant you have to think in ratios of 3:1 or more. 400W difference is a lot if you're going from 200W to 600W (1:3) but almost nothing if you're going from 1200W to 1600W (3:4). When you're looking at these lightweight bass amps, the amp you like most will be the one that has the right feel for you, which will often be the one that reaches its limit in the way that you most like, and that too will be the amp that you deem loudest. Thus some will deem Markbass amps loudest, some Genz, some TC, etc... No-one's wrong but no-one's right either! [/quote] Eminently good sense as I'm coming to expect from you sir! Thanks again!
