Salt on your Bass?

I find my 9 has plenty of thump down low, without the lf engaged. Its warm and organic. If had had one criticism of the shuttle is that i dont get any drive out of it, or crunch . I run a very hot active 5, and i like my distortion crunch and overdrive. It wont give you this, although the new streamliner serie from genz might. However i stick a vt bass deluxe infront and it is thunderous , grindy and full. Which makes the fact its clean great. I have no experience with ebs im afraid. Although i do think for the types of amps these are, that is pretty high end,the cab choice will make a massive difference - someone correct me if im wrong here!! My personal decision came down to portability and tone, and the shutte gives me everything i need and want. If i didnt like or want pedals though that would probably be a lot different!

+1 thats my understanding. Rather than boosting any frequencies, it extends them downwards. Wasnt sure of exactly how far though.

[quote name='DanOwens' post='1103897' date='Jan 26 2011, 03:54 PM']This is what every purchaser of this amp expects. I'm sorry to say, it may not actually happen.[/quote] hmm, it does look like the Bugera, however I cant see the "Primary Power" knob on the bugera......I expect the clip is also roughly the same as the Bugeras life expectancy!! 3,600W!!!!

Ps. Any output from the amp can be used for 8 or 4 ohm speakers. They dont relate to any particular impedence

The outputs are in parallel. Connect one cab with an 8ohm load to the amp and the amp will run at 8 ohms at 275w. Connect another 8 ohm cab to the amp and the amp sees a 4ohm load and will give you the full 450w split evenly between the two cabs. Alternatively, connect one 4 ohm speaker ti the cab and it will provide full power to the one cab. Do not go any lower than 4ohms on this amp. It will fry it. I.e. 2 4 ohm cabs, or a 4 ohm and 8 ohm. Read u on the impedence sticky, but i hope this is useful.

This product is aimed at people who are unaware of the Behringer brand's shortcomings but who are impressed by watt numbers. For this money, you could do so much better. Dan[/quote] But it's 3,600 Watts!!! ......and according to Bugera: "probably the most powerful bass amp in the world". That said, I dont really like Carlsberg, but their adverts make me laugh!

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' post='1102267' date='Jan 25 2011, 03:47 PM']Sorry if this sounds silly, do you mean that the the fuse is inside the lead or did i misunderstood the english?[/quote] Fuse inside the plug (as I understood it ). I think normally they are T5A, or 13A does the trick. Best to check the manual though, just to protect the fuses in the amp. Saying that, I used a 13A fuse on the kettle to my old ampeg for years even though a 5 was specified. EDIT: of course I just realised you're from portugal.... not sure if you're residing there at poresent, which may well change everything!!

I think there were a few reliability issues on their release, hence the mark 2 release. Theyve been getting some love on talkbass. Im looking at picking up the mb500 as a back up/ slve for my shuttle. Great bang for the buck new IMO and ove always enjoyed gk. Not sure why the lack of popularity though. Bit weird! I guess other brands market a bit better perhaps, pus they have market share at the moment.

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='1086818' date='Jan 12 2011, 03:49 PM']Heh, I misread this initially as having meaning synonymous to "no amp is powerful enough to blow woofers or mid-bass drivers". Which is clearly nonsense, but that second comma does introduce a certain ambiguity. S.P.[/quote] +1, I had a double take on that! Nice piece though. Probably the most informative manufacturer website out there. I feel like I actually learn something every time I read it! Hope the ankle recovers soon Alex.

[quote name='deej' post='1073951' date='Dec 31 2010, 07:22 PM']For the looper and delay take a look at the EHX Memory Man w/Hazarai, does pretty much everything you're asking. The Akai Headrush is a good shout too. If you wanna go crazy and have the money, check out a Line 6 M9 or M13. Its a multi fx unit and the looper on it is excellent.[/quote] +1 to this. The main differences are the memory man is a delay with lopper added, the headrush a looper with delay added. I went through simiar as you a while back and setted on the ehx as i preferred the delay options. You could also of course get a seperate looper and delay which would open up a lot of options as well. I think a multieffect could be worth it though. Sounds like youve started down the dark side and you wont stop after just a looper and delay! If you are thinking about others though i wouldnt dissmiss them. The m9 is a hell of a pedal and comes up round here at a fair price every so often. Good bang for your buck. Best advice is try em and see what you think and what suits. Good luck and enjoy the journey!

I'd guess basically, deeper narrower box.[/quote] Ah, ok. thanks ......does that differ from 2 compacts then? I understood the vintage ended up being voiced the same as two compacts, which led to its halt in production (together with sales demand).

Any word or hints on how the SuperFifteen differs from the vintage? I was gutted when the vintage was taken out of production, so pretty interested in its reincarnation (if thats what infact it is!!!)

Cant wait to see the Shuttlemax 9.0! Just when I thought I'd run out of GAS....... Thanks for the heads up!!

I've been looking at both of these as a back up/slave off of my shuttle 9.....they dont have an effects loop though, is there any problem running the Effects out from the genz into the front end of either of these? Sorry a bit off topic........ might pull the trigger after xmas if the solution's feasible..... cheers guys

I think theyre only worth about 150 quid at the moment, what with the economic downturn. Id be happy to help you out though if youre selling, and take it for 200 plus postage! What a deal!

Nice! What type of band are you in? Number, stye, loudness etc. Were putting out through the pa aswell? That genz makes the midget look big! [quote name='OmeDunk' post='1045918' date='Dec 3 2010, 02:21 AM']Took this combo for a pub gig tonight. I was very afraid that 300 watts was not enough. However, it did very well. Guitards happy that the bass didn't sucked al their lows up in the mix. Soundengineer happy that he was able to make a nice FOH-mix. I was very happy: great sound and combined 15 kg![/quote]

[quote name='Merton' post='1044243' date='Dec 1 2010, 08:08 PM']The bigger brother of SS's rig - WT550 into a Vintage. Oooh yeah [/quote] I always get a little gas thump me in the chest when i see a vintage, and not because ive eaten something dodgey!

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='1042786' date='Nov 30 2010, 07:24 PM']The Super Twelve T - with Eden WT550 and the Boss GT-10B. That's my rig really.[/quote] Absolute cracker! Never had the pleasure of trying eden, although heard a lot of good things.

That is magnificent!! im going to get a valve amp one day. 400+ is high on the list, s would another compact i think! Any word on the big one pics?? [quote name='jonthebass' post='1039737' date='Nov 28 2010, 11:19 AM']Here's my 2 Compacts with the Mesa Boogie Bass 400+. This rig is just something else! (sorry for the crap pic BTW) [/quote]

My greatest fault is that I work too hard. I'm sorry. A project getting screwed up?? I'm afraid I've never experienced that on anything I've project managed.

Nice one!! Looking forward to them!! [quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='1041006' date='Nov 29 2010, 12:05 PM']Must get some posted. Leave it with me, and I'll see if I get time tonight.[/quote]
