[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1128825' date='Feb 15 2011, 08:07 PM']I'm a habitual MB user and currently have an LM Tube 500 which is very good. I quite fancy a GB Streamliner for some extra headroom but after all the hoohaa on Talkbass I'm going to sit back and watch for a while.[/quote] This is my stance. Im a bit miffed about the problems they have had....I dont want to take the plunge and they release another like GK did with the MB.

Im tempted to change my order to a HH, just because the upcharge isnt that much and you get 100% the classic Ray tone plus more! I prefer rosewood myself, but thats me

I think the current plan is another 4x10 and a Terror Bass, for now. Thats a lighter amp for when we are space saving, and a cab that can cover most gigs and be added to my 4x10 for a modular 8x10.

I've never liked the style of them...ever. Reminds me too much of the 80s over slapped/synthetic sounding tones.

MB is great dont get me wrong, but the micro amp market has exploded recently. Believe me, the TC amp is incredible. It takes a lot to impress me amp wise, but they have nailed the 'modern SVT in a small box'.

First Bass Owned: Encore P Bass copy 'Go To' Bass: American Standard Fender Precision 'Your' Bass: EBMM Stingray (2 or 3 EQ)

The Classic is apparently the same sound, but here are the features the RH have as extra: Very functional tuner Ability to use the excellent pedal Semi parametric EQ Ability to store 3 different sounds (virtually everything) and recall them quickly Headphone/aux in for practicing (I use this all the time) Digital output on rear for recording They both sound great, but the RH features make it for me.

Tort;)

How loud do the SP212s get when they are together? Anyone tried this?

[quote name='JTUK' post='1125962' date='Feb 13 2011, 02:12 PM']Has to be the 8x10 IF you know what the stages are going to be like, ie a certain standard and size and indeed the trucking plus access in to the stage. For a mini stage gig you'll need something that will stack to around chest height, minimum, IME..if that is 2 SP212 then that might work..but don't stack them vertically, that is such a terrible look..and this might count in this situation.[/quote] Good points.

I was thinking that. Get one more 4x10 and tour with that, use my other one with it for big shows. I reckon a TB would be a great head for this kind of thing.

For £60 delivered brand new it's a total bargain. I needed a cheap thrasher and it works a treat!

The first part of good news is that I am officially back in gigging mode. My old band needed me to come back, and luckily I felt ready and more willing to play as much as possible. A year off was enough! The second part of good news is that they have been lucky/worked hard enough to get some help from Orange amps. They have agreed on an endorsement so myself and the two guitarists are looking at rigs for March onwards. Yes, I have the full stack, but I'd like an alternative that will be stored and heavily gigged. I'm thinking of the Bass Terror plus two SP212s. Small and punchy! Failing that, another OBC 115 or 410 so I can mix and match or just take one and let that do all the work going around the UK and Europe. I would love the 8x10, but I really don't think we could handle the size. I may look into a backup AD200b...all depends. What would you do? The whole backline is going to be Orange.

I find the best idea with the Ray EQ is to cut highs, leave mids flat, boost lows a little, and if you want it with more thump, string it with flats

Get a Bongo

Flats next?

Two inputs/speakons/whatever would have helped on your cab!

Never understood why players can't just own and play 4s and 5s. Totally different instruments...and it's great fun to be able to play both. I swap between all the time.

I dont use the features of the RH that often, but I like having them. Tubetone/Tuner are great!

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1124612' date='Feb 12 2011, 06:51 AM']Well it wouldn't look bad in your collection, if you're man enough perhaps if you un-order one or two of the 35+ basses you seem to have on order since time began you might be able to afford it. lol[/quote] Lol dont tempt me!!!

[quote name='MatthewKeys' post='1124492' date='Feb 11 2011, 11:02 PM']Sure? Out of curiosity, what is the consequences of having this crack in the neck, like what is going to happen to it eventually? Thanks[/quote] I'd just not want the hassle. Unless you think it's a bargain, that could, could be structural. Only a luthier could really know. I'd play safe and get it a refund.
