The odd thing is the rest of the pots seem fine. I can't help but think this is a Fender influence as my Fender Mustang guitar amp does exactly the same thing on the master volume. But then that's a budget amp and the Streamliners are not! I'm guessing they're easily replaced, but this would presumably mean several weeks without an amp? Think I'll probably just live with it!

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1315244040' post='1363218']Has anyone noticed scracthy a scratchy volume pot on the Streamliner? I saw on TB that this is quite common?[/quote]

Sorry to drag up an oldish thread, but yes I've noticed the scratchy master volume pot. Just wondered if anyone else has and what they did about it? I really love this head (STM900) and as its only an issue when changing the volume it doesn't seem that important, but if anyone's found a quick fix or that it gets worse with time it would be useful to know.

Another Friday night [b]price drop[/b] bump!

The best fat tones are found by playing an octave up and using the octave down synth setting. Alternatively use the normal settings and mix 50/50 with the dry settings (on the back panel there are wet and dry outs I think, so you could have two amps set up, one for each which could give a great sound.)

Bump to say:[list]
[*]Prices dropped by £10 on each item
[*]I'm happy to meet up/deliver up to an hour away from Cambridge if needed
[*]121H now sold (thanks Marc!)
[/list]

I'll do the 151, 410 and LM250 for £1000 if taken together. I need to make some space!

Pm'd

Bump for lots of yellow stuff still available. Get yer luverly amps 'n' cabs here, get 'em while they're hot, they're luverly... etc...

I've got the 900. At bass direct the £80 difference for 300 watts seems pretty good value. Never tried the 600, but looks like there's no difference in features, so it all comes down to headroom. The only problem I've had so far is a scratchy main volume knob, but that really doesn't bother me. With the gain, make up volume and main volume controls it is still very easy to access low volumes for practice though. It does sound amazing, and it is so simple that it really is almost impossible to make it sound bad!

Yes I think so. Will need to cover P&P which will probably be about a fiver. Pm me if you want to confirm this.

Oh, and most of the standard Markbass cabs are 8 ohm so its fine to run two of these off the head. I'm not sure about the other cabs you mention, but if they're 8 ohm it's all good.

[quote name='jamie_k11' timestamp='1318338820' post='1400779']Although I'm now looking at the standard markbass series. Both the 151HR and the 102HR. How would this work with this head? Becuase I could also always get another 102HR to go along with it..?[/quote]
Although on paper the LM250 is low power for the cabs you mention I have had no problems running the 151 and 410 off it. And it's most definitely loud enough for even larger venues. I honestly don't think there's much difference in tone or response comared to the higher power little marks (even the valve ones!)

Thanks for the interest Jamie. Any questions I can help with just ask.

Well, I tried them at the shop and have to say it really wasn't for me. A bit too hi-fi. Nice unit though.
First gig with the Streamliner on Tuesday and really looking forward to it! If anyone's around cambridge, fell free to come along:

Traveller 121H sold subject to usual malarky.

It really is. After getting very frustrated with the mark bass tubes that don't do anything it's great to use an amp that can sound vintage or modern with just a couple of tweaks. I can finally sound like Bernard Edwards on Good Times!! It also seems to give enough valve compression that I can get rid of my dbx as well. Now if it only had a tuner I could walk to gigs...

Haha, I'd best start saving! Thanks again Pete.

Thanks Pete! I can now annoy the neighbours without fear of breaking something!
Just out of interest: is it not possible to wire cabs in series then? (Not that I want to; just my GCSE physics head getting confused!)
This is such a great head that I can now happily sell my Sansamp!

Hi,
I went to see Mark at Bass Direct today. Amazing shop and really great guy. I purchased a Genz Streamliner 900 and two Vanderkley 1x12 inch cabs rated at 8ohms each and they sound great. I'm a bit confused though: Mark said to link the two cabs together, ie one speaker cable out of amp to first cab, then out of that cab into the second cab. I didn't think to ask at the time, but is this not series linking and therefore 8+8ohm=16ohm? Before I've always linked two 8ohm cabs one out of each speaker out of the amp, which in my understanding is parallel linking and therefore 8+8ohm/2=4ohm and therefore more efficient?! Can anyone clarify for me? I'm sure Mark must be right, but don't want to muck things up!!
Thanks,
Andy

Hi Sjonnie. Can I ask how old the Navigator is and whereabouts are you based?

I have a H2 as well (and it's great) but for a really simple solution try the voice memo recorder on an iPhone. I've got some surprisingly good results at rehearsals!

Hi. Sorry, I should have updated the post: I have both bought a precision 5 and the NS is sold pending the usual.
Thanks for the interest though.
