    And gone, thanks for all the interest guys, and cheers George...

    Just completed a swift and easy trade with George (Fellrunner). A thorough gent - deal with confidence, guys!

    Whoa! I'd never seen a BB-VIII (1985 Yamaha brochure) - a BB with twin angled split-coils. I like that...

    I'm good with anything up to 8.5lbs, anything more and it becomes pretty apparent, especially on a long gig. I don't buy the 'heavier=better tone' thing - not only have I never noticed a correlation between the two factors, my Dingwall's 7.5lbs and sounds ace, and I had an 11lb 12oz 70s Jazz which sounded like soup. And not good soup, either.

    I don't mind the Supertone on my Thunderland, functionally it's a great bridge (and it fits/covers the holes already there), but I agree the two-piece original bridge looks best on a Thunderbird. The Schaller 3D (and its derivatives) is my No.1 favourite bridge, tho.

    This is on hold till the weekend - cheers for the PMs guys...

    With all-chrome hardware (pups and surrounds), that'd look even more lovely. And something done about that frickin bridge...

    OK, sooooo...with the move to in-ears progressing well, partly driven by a full calendar of gigs (lots of weddings) for the coming year and the desire to reduce kit, and partly by my tinnitus making loud stages (literally) a pain, I'm looking to trade my Barefaced Super Twelve T for a Compact. The S12T is a great cab, it'll hold its own with a banging drummer, two half stacks and keys without breaking a sweat, but it's capable of far greater SPL than I can stand these days, so it's overkill for what I need. The S12T is in unmarked condition, it's only done half a dozen gigs from new, and I'm looking for a trade for a Compact plus some cash. If the Compact works for me and my Streamliner in a gig situation, then my Schroeder 1515L will be going, too, but that's a big if, because I love the Schroeder. Anyway, drop me a PM if you've a Compact and you'd like to move up to the S12T. Cheers, M

    Can't be doing with bands who don't interact with the audience, it's really not cool at all. Everyone in the room is there for a good time, everyone needs to feel included. As long as it's amusing/entertaining, doesn't interrupt the flow of the music and doesn't ramble on too much, talking to the audience is great, and 95% of the time will get them on your side.

    Funnily enough, I plug into my Streamliner and it sounds right very time. The only time I touch my EQ is for a different cab, or a particularly bad room. As I would if I ran a valve amp. No difference. Plug and play is not about valves or solid state, it's about the sound you like. I know this doesn't fuel the debate much, but hey...

    I use a Streamliner with a Schroeder cab (tight low end, low-mid hump, nothing over 4k), and the combination works very well - on the other hand, I've also used it with a Super Twelve, almost the opposite cab, and that worked too, tho I did have to EQ differently.

    I very very nearly bought a TH500 in the States last year, just on a whim. Given the price it was going for, I'm perpetually sorry I didn't...
  13. Muzz
    Love that fretboard. Luckily, though, I have no GAS for the very top end stuff - dunno whether that's me or my my bank balance talking...
  14. Muzz
    On the other hand, I found the Streamliner sounded much better than the Terror heads I tried - no floors wiped this end!
  15. Muzz
    No, none at all. Unfortunately, it's also sold as of today.

    It's a massive oversimplification, but if you want it in two camps, the Streamliner sound is nearer the RH450 (tho deeper, warmer and much less compressed), and the Shuttle is a more comparable amp to the LM. I had a LMIII before either the RH450 or the Streamliner, but you can see the sound I was after by the progression of amps. I should say I'm very happy with the Streamliner.

    [quote name='Mark Dyer' timestamp='1391425633' post='2356884'] One rehearsal will be plenty of time. Allow about four hours for a 2 set weekend covers band. Don't spend all this time running through the songs though, you will need to dedicate at least 1-2 hrs deciding on a new band name as the current one is sh*te, sharing YouTube videos with your band mates, Tweeting, FB, setting up your huge effects pedals board and drinking beer/tea. This will give you some natural spontanaity on the gig night as each song will become an adventure, you will sound edgy and dynamic as opposed to dull and plodding. The worst that can go wrong is you forget where you are and every other song comes off the rails like a runaway train. [/quote] And this.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1391175935' post='2354148'] How good are these players? If it was just me depping in an existing unit then I wouldn't need any rehearsals. If it is a whole band then 1 rehearsal max. Everyone should know their parts when they turn up and the rehearsal should just be to "top and tail" the numbers and play through once. [/quote] I'd go with this.

    I went from a RH450 to a Streamliner (and owned a couple of Mesas at the same time/in between), and I'd say if you like what the RH450 is trying to do in terms of a voiced, older-school tone, but you want more warmth and bottom, then the Streamliner would seem to be your friend. As always though, if you can possibly try them first, do so.

    Bump....
  21. Muzz
    Price drop bump
  22. Muzz
    Bump for price drop/included P&P
  23. Muzz
    I had a Roland Micro Cube for a good while - not giggable, but great for in the house - MP3 in, headphones out, tuner, loads of sounds and effects, even a drum machine. Can run off batteries, too. Corking amp.

    Yep, all good - well explained and not patronizing at all. I suspect Chrissie has issues...
