[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1394180289' post='2388686'] To answer the original question, to counter lots of happy owners who ARE happy with the streamliner. I sold mine because of it's inherent sound ... ie. it's big heavy bottom, and inherent mid scoop. Yes you can get it almost flat by reducing the bass big time and either scooping it's 220Hz mids OR boosting it's 600Hz mids. But for me that is still too scooped. I like mids and this amp simply doesn't deliver in that area for me. From my memory my cab at the time was a Genz 8x10 XB3, certainly not a mid-shy cab. The EQ allows you to boost cut either 220Hz, 600Hz or 1500Hz on it's mids control. However, if you boost one of them, I still notice the gap elsewhere. For many owners this simply isn't an issue as they are looking for a different sound but for me it was a deal-breaker. [/quote] +1, says it all

I use a Genz Benz Shuttlemax 9.2 and switch between fretted and fretless....2 channels on a footswitch, so I can set up different eq, but like many bass amps it only has one one input, so I need an AB switch as well. The Glock Blue Sky sounds nice.

I had a Streamliner 900 and still have a Shuttle 9.0. The Streamliner was great with my BF Midget t, but the low end was overpowering with my BF Big Baby t, the Shuttle 9 works great for me with the Big Baby. I sold the Streamliner for a Shuttlemax 9.2. I think you made the right choice for your BB2.

Thanks for that, I may replace my Midget t with a BB2 as it's not that much bigger or heavier, I like the low end girth I get with the BBt, so the midget is only taken out where weight or size are an issue

Does anyone have experience of using both these cabs that could comment about how they compare? I have a Big Baby T and would like to know how BB2 sounds tonally in comparison, I know the BB2 will be a bit louder. Thanks Iain H

[b]For me the iamp micro is one of the worst amps i've owned. Beautifully built, but lacks power....nowhere near 500 watts, it also lacks low end and is mid honky and compresses with volume...in my experience. I'm happy with my shuttle 9 and max 9.2, haven't tried a 6.0, i'm told they also lack a bit of bottom end. I believe the newer 6.2's have the same high pass as the 9.0, so should sound better. The iamp has nice input switching between channels, shame it doesn't sound nice for me, i know others love them.[/b]

[i]If you only have one cab, the max 9.2 is probably the better option. The 12.2 would be the choise for 2 x 4 ohm cabs[/i]

[b]I use a streamliner 900, i like nice clean warm bottom and hifi top end. I have a TH di box....this is my backup in case i loose a valve on the streamliner. TH preamp is a bit lacking on the hifi top end for me, but it is a solid quality box. I have to watch i don't overload the input on the streamliner with my Overwater J...Nordy big splits and J retro preamp....input pre at 10 o'clock with this bass.[/b]

[i]shove matchstick(s) in the old screwhole and put back original screw.....worked on my big baby.[/i]

Looks like BF
