I'm laughing my lungs out here! £350,000 worth of kit when everyone knows it's mostly placebo, and all you [b]really[/b] need is a few metal discs to put the speaker cables on so they won't have to be on the floor.... Seriously though, must have been quite the Hi-Fi set. Sorry you couldn't enjoy it more, and of course, as you know as well as I do, this system is not 1,000 times better. It's probably noticeably better than a £35,000 system, which again is noticeably better than a £3,500 system.

Welcome to the surface, Connor! ...and breathe! bert

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1393799456' post='2384546'] Pretty please, I will feed my cats (Stanley and Snoop Catt) extra tuna if you vote for us [/quote] Not gonna work, you amateur! Now if you could describe in detail the torture that you will not let your cats endure, I think more of us would be willing to vote!

According to what an EBMM guy told me, the contract that the US dealers have with EBMM does have a paragraph about that dealers also are allowed to sell new items abroad after two years. IOW if this bass is old enough, you could still purchase it. You'd probably have to remind them of that paragraph though.

Welcome, Andy! bert

Cool! Congrats with this, man!

Sorry, Pete. I misunderstood the naming conventions established in this thread. Debs

Hey SuperVee, Welcome! I'm sure you'll fit right in. [quote name='93supervee' timestamp='1393698939' post='2383543'] pleased to see a great, active forum free of d***heads. [/quote] Dunno about that. We sometimes have heating discussions, and then some people soon start insulting: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/231065-help-with-reducing-damp-in-workshopstudio/"]http://basschat.co.u...workshopstudio/[/url] Anyway, enjoy! bert

Welcome, Bart! Bert

[quote name='Allie' timestamp='1393584069' post='2382161'] Don't know why I haven't managed to be here earlier. [/quote] Twas those bulky cathode ray tube computer monitors of days yonder! You'd need a double bass case for those.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1393529376' post='2381573'] how does the STM900 compare with an all-valve amp? Does it cut the mustard? [/quote] Sorry, I can't answer that. Too little experience. But Muzz seems to talk sense, and better puts to words what I felt: that a ShuttleMax or GBE are very easy to dial with, whereas the Streamliners need you to first get to grips with how they work - meaning that in a shop demo situation, one could easily overlook the power of the front panel. Some experimenting at home should soon make it all clear though. That and the unspeakable thing... [size=2](the manual)[/size]

You're welcome. Also, I just remembered there's someone here from just North of Coylton. I'l dig a little, and will report if I do find him. If not, you could always shout out in General Discussion. Many people seem to read there. Edit: Found them. The guy from Irvine is DanTheMusicman (Daniel). He hasn't been active lately, but in 2012 worked in a music shop in Irvine. Also, in Beith you have Funky Dunky (Duncan). Before you ask: no, I can't do this trick for the whole world. It's just that I tend to notice when people say they're from Ayrshire or thereabouts - as I've been there several times and am quite fond of some folks I know in Coylton.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1393529409' post='2381574'] I had the badge nicked off my Skoda. Work that one out! [/quote] It now sits proudly on a Silver Wraith radiator, and the car owner relaxes in the knowledge that the Spirit of Ecstasy is safely at home.

But... but... how long is that string angle exactly?

Hi H, and welcome to B.A.! Enjoy our company! (oh, and our twelve step program) bert

Exactly my point. Take the 900 now. You can always sell it again without too much loss. BTW and FWIW, I asked Mark (that other one) to send me the best sounding one of the 600 and 900, and he chose the 900. I assume the extra headroom does a Class D good.

Hey Terry, Welcome! I'm pretty sure there's another guy from Kilmarnock and one from Irvine or thereabouts on BC. There's certainly one from Greenock, but that may be stretching it a little seeing as how close Glasgow is to you. Anyway, shout out and someone will certainly answer. Enjoy the bass! bert (another noob) Edit: Dub Junkie is from Kilmarnock, and Biskitbass is from South Lanarkshire. You could PM them.

Hey Allie, Welcome! I hope your sleeping in the Westone's case was comfy for you, and didn't do any damage to the bass. Enjoy the banter! bert

Yeah, but can it be so much cheaper than a Streamliner 600 or even than a 900? I think the Veyron T model may go for 500 quid.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1393499790' post='2380995'] has Behringer cloned the Streamliner yet?? [/quote] No, they haven't. They use reddish LEDs instead of blue ones: [URL=http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/basstractor1/media/BugeraVeyronBV1001Tfront_zps27aa6c23.png.html][IMG]http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r525/basstractor1/BugeraVeyronBV1001Tfront_zps27aa6c23.png[/IMG][/URL]

Aye! Something that's 2x and also loud is 2x810! Ideal for you! Seriously though, it all depends on the type of sound you're after. I would normally choose the cabs I want, and then find the amp that will drive them, but this is me being not a bassist. The F1 is somewhat neutral, unlike MarkBass's own cabs. I like the MarkBass cabs, but many do not. 250 quid should enable you to land a second hand MarkBass 102P which IMS is quite a punchy little feller. Genz Benz must be mentioned again, as their last cabs go for peanuts at GAK and Bass Direct. Other than that, if you tell us something about what type of sound you're after, or what types of music you play and where you play it, it will be easier to come up with ideas about a £250 cab. For that amount you could get a relatively loud cab of simple pedigree, or less noise of higher quality, so some narrowing down is required. On the one hand you have these old fashioned, lazy speakers with limited bandwidth. On the other hand you have those that aspire a near perfect representation of the original signal. Unscientifically, I tend to divide sound ideals in Old Skool (like Ampeg SVT), Hi-Fi (like Vanderkley) and Signature (like Gallien Krueger), but more experience people on here will probably think differently.

Ah! That's another BC issue. Not all your content will show up in My Content, and new content on old threads belonging in My Content will not show up on the first page of My Content despite the new content being ... like ... new ... It's just one of those things. The forum software is not perfect.
