TRAP!

Kinda glad I didnt make the massive journey down. Can't stand too much noise when it comes to shows like this. Everyone seems to want to 'out do' everyone. As much as I like my gear hunting I've found what Im after.

Test before doing anything else! Good luck with the replacement,

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1330676475' post='1561250'] Lots of Streamliner love here. Remember, one of the keys to this amp is never to be afraid to roll the lows off... [/quote] +1 Most people don't like to have 'extreme' EQ settings, but with this amp, you really can boost the mids all the way up and it still sounds 'sweet'. Stunning treble control.

Its a very pretty, well made, and LOUD amp. Sweet tube goodness with a lot of slam.

PJ5 wins.

I don't trust any new Ampeg amps after the amount of recent issues of limiter problems and the fact they shut down a lot! The Pro 3 wil not reach the power of the Streamliner 600, plus it's heavier, larger, and despite the fact you can crank the gain it's a poor 450 watts.

I would just use your Streamliner with another pedal...BDDI or VT Bass. If you want an Ampeg amp, stick with the 7 Pro....thats if you get one that works out the box.

I think its the same...but the winding and spec is different on the neck pups.

It looks very clean. Im pretty sure that the shell could have been made even smaller though!

Spot on NJE...I thibk that sums it up quite well. I must admit, the low B is a big part of what makes buyers want a bass. I don't want a B that sounds flat or fubby, and I don't want a B that rings out over the other strings. I want a low B to be the same as the rest of the strings...and to have balance! I think thats why Musicman basses work for me so well.

The Aguilar DB cabs have the best aesthetics in the business. Best thing is they sound brilliant.

I switch and as they are all Musicman/Fenders, it's not such a big jump. Worst part is trying to slap (I barely play any) on a fiver...but I know I just need to practice.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1330192980' post='1554035'] I quite like the ML112...if the price of $650 transferred over reasonably, it would be in the mix, IMO [/quote] +1, depends on how much ther transfer over to.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1329665916' post='1545516'] As you say, you want to pre-try one out and that is a good idea. What fits your fantasy and what fits you in reality may be miles apart. I really wanted one when growing up and was MAJORLY disappointed when I finally got to try them.. ALL wrong for me a 100 times over. [/quote] Exactly my experience. I tried one in Electro YEARS ago, when I was still learning the basics, and I put the bad experience down to it having an awful setup and being second hand. About a year ago, I tried a new one. Still didn't like it. The pups, to me, seemed very bland and the neck just didn't work with my hands. They look superb, but the quality issues and the neck put me way off. If I find one I like, I'll buy it, purely because it looks cool...(and that makes me an idiot haha).

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1330161646' post='1553446'] I have tried the SVT-7 pro, but not through a good cab. I think all round in terms of features the ampeg is a better piece of kit, the better DI alone decides it for me. In terms of sound, both have hugely useable sounds, and do the same thing, although the Ampeg will do a lot more as the controls arn't limited. [/quote] Agreed the Ampeg is more flexible, but I'd take the Orange for the price and the sheer brute force. As much as the occasional person has a problem with Bass Terror, the Pro 7 is notorious for cutting out and it's already had three revisions. I don't trust Ampeg one bit. The recent BGM magazine tested it at well below the 1000 watts. Not that I need 1000w.

Beautiful. Probably the best Shuker I've seen.

The retail dropped just after I sold mine to get an RH750...its a shame but the amp world is kinda like the mobile phone world.

Great review. Has anyone noticed the prices are £666 everywhere! Apart from being the number of the beast, that is seriously good price.

I still want one. Been looking for over a year now. Tempted to order a Tangerine Pearl with White Pearl Guard in HH....as they now have lightweight tuners on the new builds.

They are on sale now though, aren't they? I'd just email Larry Hartke.

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1329999327' post='1551031'] Im surprised at the details being brought up here! Type of plastic used for the back plate?? who cares? who ever see's this part when you're playing anyway? [/quote] I've seen the pics of your PJ Chris and its a beauty. Like I said, quality and style are fantastic, tone is obviously subjective, but little things like the back compartment do catch my eye when its a bass over £1600. Silly I know!

If I get a DB112 I can run it with the DB212 for 3x12s!
