Well, the mobile phone did its best to give me a "bigfoot thumb". My hand covers the width of the amp anyway. Both hands cover the top of the amp.

Well, I haven't tried it live yet, but my livingroom is big and the wife is forgiving... I mean, I have my (smaller) rig parked here, my 10+ basses on the wall, the upright on a stand; she has a six foot grand piano in the middle of the room, and still we have room for a dining table, six book shelves and a twelve by nine feet sofa in front of the TV. And a fire place. The room is like a smaller jazz club. I tried the combo with my upright equipped with a Realist Lifeline, and the volume I got out was more than adequate, with a tone to my liking. I was a bit sceptic to the 1 Mohm input, but it worked well. I have some preamps I can use to beef up the signal from the piezo, but seriously, I think I won't be needing them. The eq in the 350 had enough sculpting possibilities to make me happy. Conclusion: on a smaller stage, like a jazz club the amp is more than enough and sounds as good as you and your instrument sound and play. For electric bass, the amp does the job well; I tried it with my MM Bongo VI, and it sounded good. Still, PA support is needed if you play with "the standard average guitard" and a hard hitting drummer, but for playing with musicians with good judgement I believe this little baby will stand out well... Think about this for a while... We tend to play with higher volume in our rehearsal rooms than we are allowed to use on stage. I use my Fender Super Bassman + Bassman 810 Neo at rehearsal, but will use my smaller "wedge rigs" at gigs...

Today I got my tiny, tiny, tiny Genzler combo delivered. I just had to put it on top of my Genzler BA 12-3 Slant cabs, but it won't sit there. Oh no! My plan is to use it with my upright bass (and electric for small gigs) instead of using one amp and a two channel preamp for electric and upright. One rig for electric and one for upright, no fuss... Anyway, it is kind of cute... It is really small... 😋😋😋

Music Man Bongo VI with my compact rig: Origin Effects Cali76-TX (not visible) - Jule Amps Monique - Vanderkley Spartan - 2 x Genzler BA 12-3 Slant...

One of the older Bongo VI basses...

Today this beauty of a beast moved into the Bass Shelter at the mountain top: a Dingwall Afterburner I five string in the Heavy Solid make. A bit on the heavy side, but not too heavy. The tone? Well, to die/killed/be killed for... All wenge neck and bubinga body...

I have an AccuGroove Tri112L too, that sounds fantastic, but these cabs fill the room in another way. Not just in front of... Well, I stacked some stuff on top of the 12 degree sloping top on the upper cab. No problems at all, no slip sliding away. Signal chain: bass -- Cali76 TX -- Jule Amps Monique -- Vanderkley Spartan -- two Bass Array cabs, one in each power amp for 2 x 8 ohms use.

I will.

I got my two Genzler Bass Array 12-3 SLT today, and I am very pleased. They are as good as I expected. The line array works well up to "cable distance". Very good horisontal dispersion, and rather "homogene volume" as long as my cable stretches. I used to own a Bose L1 model " with two subs once; these cabs act a bit the same but sound oh, so much nicer. I did a serious garage sale around new year to get these. No looking back!

I haven't tried that. Yet. Will do. Thank you, Sir!

I had one of these babies a few years ago, the one with Lundahl transforler, the TX-L. Stupidly enough I sold it. I have browsed the second hand market for another one, but all of a sudden Origin Effects released a jubilee limited edition model, so I bought one. This time the TX without L. I kinda like this one too, and this time I keep it... I have yet tried it at home: Bass - Cali76 - Jule Amps Monique - Vanderkley Spartan - AccuGroove Tri112L. It is kinda addictive...

My former Streamline: My first long gone L2 I used to have this: I also had this: ...and this: Now I only have this beauty: Here with a very potent mini gig rig:

Skew basses like Payson and Dingwall demand skew rigs, hence my up and coming setup with two Genzler Bass Array 12-3 SLT (for slant...). I believe they sound as good as they look. Now just three-four weeks wait wait wait... Review will follow. I plan to use them with my Vanderkley Spartan with an Origin Effects Cali76-TX (the big sucker) and the Jule Amps Monique in front.
