[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1179833985' post='4321'] Your ears hurt or ring after playing loud music.... you have just suffered ear damage and have lost some of your hearing ability. If you continue you will accumulate more damage until you hearing is severely impaired. This is fact. Protect yourself. Do it properly, don't skimp; don't think your doing a good job by saving pennies. I have had to start looking for a better solution than foam plugs and I have found it. Check out Advanced Communication Solutions on the web, www.hearingprotection.co.uk. . These moulded plugs are approx £160 but they cut db across the whole range. They are expensive but they are good, they work and they protect you. You have to get used to the feel of plugs in your ears and the other band members will take the piss, but you might not be able to play in a band in a few years time if you do not do this properly. [/quote] Yep, it happened to me. Wear the er15's at mo. still getting used to them, you can change the filters and also add monitor modules to the moulds.

Yep, no more unwanted rumble, just clear defined low end and punch. Even in a studio environment it makes an improvement.

Thanks for all comments. The purchase has been made via our very own walbassist. Can't wait for it to arrive!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1322680911' post='1454504'] I didn't find the Streamliner muddy at all, I'd be happy to use either for the rest of my days [/quote] i can't resist any more!!!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1322677426' post='1454439'] The whole tone of the Streamliner is just MUCH MUCH bigger, and rounder, and fatter. It really is like an all tube amp, but it can do this very very clean with zero grit, if you want that. You can add a lot of grit and grind if you like, but that's just part of the package. You wont have the sparkly/precise nature of the Shuttle, but the Streamliner is stull VERY articulate considering how tubey it is. It just has more bounce and thud to the notes I'm waiting for the next line of Shuttle's to hit the UK (Im guessing after NAMM 2012) to pick up a replacement for the LM3 I sent back. [/quote] Exactely my thoughts, I kinda love that sparkly top end on the shuttle but often, well more times than not end up using the sansamp through it, for a bit of beef. I number of comments have made me a bit unsure saying the bottom End can be quite muddy and undefined? Are they just not making the most of the eq?

Make sure the presence is relatively low.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1322663968' post='1454124'] [size=4]There are threads on Talkbass about Streamliner and Shuttle comparisons.[/size] [/quote] I know Chris, conflicting views. Some saying they the streamliners are the dogs dodahs and others saying stick with the shuttle.

Anyone in the northwest got ones of these or knows a shop with stock a can trial. Want to pull the trigger but unsure if it's better than my shuttle. Any other comments appreciated. Thanks Tony

How you getting on with the streamliner and one AE112? I have the shuttle 6.0 and the ae112 again from mark it has been great. Contemplating the streamliner, so just wondered if you were loving it as it is or looking for additional cab? Tony

Sold a few bits Blindpilot, fast payment and great communication throughout!
