Not sure, but some 'muso's' don't understand that many of us can't faff about playing music all night, as much as we want to! Oh to have the time to have 2 rehearsals a week! I struggle to fit in 1!

[quote name='Iana' timestamp='1391367663' post='2356339'] Shuttle is tight and bright streamliner is big fat old school tube tone with a very sweet treble. Both great but depends on the cab you pair it with.... Streamliner can be fussy on cab matches. [/quote] This! Best option would be both...haha! The Streamliner treble is BEAUTIFUL...really nice modern yet not overly clack treble.

Thanks all. I'm still deciding haha!!!

Nice design and great tone. I think the demo is brilliant....no faffing about.

I would never offer to own the PA!

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1391093949' post='2353193'] By "horrible cut out" do you mean the bottom cutaway being deeper than the top one?? The JC has that. [/quote] That's the one. For some reason I don't mind it on the JC. I think because it wasn't there before on the Midtown, I prefer it without!

I have however been offered a gold Epiphone JC or Gibson Midtown in sunburst (2013 without the horrible cut out!) at very reasonable prices....hmm!

I realise I should have jumped on the MIK Pro Star Bass when they were on sale!

Hi all I've been on the hunt for a semi acoustic style bass for a while now. I really like the large Gibson/Gretsch style bodies, and these two basses nail the classic style I'm after. I unfortunately have zero experience with any of them. I am trying to avoid buying without trying, but there seems little chance of that now, more so with the Midtown. Can anyone comment on these basses? More so the Midtown, as I love their sunburst model! Will they nail a very classic smooth/warm/thumpy tone? I realise part of that is technique and strings.

One thing I think makes the 2013 onwards Gibson basses so appealing is the fact they are actually very reasonably priced for a USA made, nitro finished bass with a quality hardcase.

The Thunderbirds in Walnut look fantastic! Nice SG by the way.

The prices (I think) are around £80-£100...

Just had one of these delivered very recently. I've not even had chance to plug it in etc, but the quality of the pedal seems excellent for the price! It makes me wonder why boutique pedal's cost so much! Eg. The Tech 21 BDDI!

I've just got a B3 at a decent price, and despite this being a new pedal, I'm glad I went with the B3 for the casing/screens/DI etc.

I love white basses and guitars but that isn't as appealing as I first hoped. I want Sunburst!

I like the fact he plays with a pick a lot, then obviously can pull out the other techniques. Unique pick style...sounds great.

Genz Benz design input me thinks....

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1390411004' post='2345170'] But he wants two cabs as far as I can work out. Is there a CN112? Then you have the same suggestion but offering the two cab solution he requires [/quote] Ay there is a CN112.

I would sell and buy a Bergantino CN212. Super light, great form factor, great for mids, tweeter.

Looks like a Roadworn neck on a normal body to me...something is odd!

Definitely a TC RH450/Streamliner combination. The Genz amps are no longer in production. The Genz staff are now (apparently) working with Fender on the Fender amps, (new Rumble series it appears). The Genz prices now are crazy. Grab whilst you can!

I wouldn't combine the NV115 with a CN or HD cab. Totally different flavours! The NV is sealed. Tight low end, lots of sub bass roll off. More like the tone of the classic 8x10 sealed cabs, but smaller. The CN cabs are again punchy, but will have a bigger sounding low end, and a bump in the mids that really allows the bass to be heard. The HD cabs are more classically voiced. Eg, probably the fullest lows, smoother mids. If you are going down the Berg route I'd recommend the CN212 or 2 x CN112s.

Ric 4003. Still want one, just can't deal with the potential 'issues' and they don't feel right in my hands. One day, I WILL own one. Stingray? The Ray was (and still is I guess) my DREAM bass from being 12/13. I evenutally got one and it surpassed all my expectations

Yes and no haha! I love the chase of trying new gear. I find bass guitars absolutely fascinating. However, I always look at EBMM as my benchmark. Nothing touches them for quality/price/ergonomics/tone for my tastes. Fender are a close second, but I wish they would continue to build on their QC. I have two stunning Fenders but I have played many terrible Fenders!

I think TC should integrate the Toneprint into the RH amps...now that would be fantastic.
