thebrig Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I've gone and done it, I pulled the trigger on [b]Genz Benz Streamliner 900[/b] (£661 at Nevada Music) on Monday, and received it yesterday (Tuesday). And today (Wednesday) about fifteen minutes ago, I ordered a [b]Barefaced Super Twelve[/b] to go with it. I've now started the long countdown to receiving the cab, and I can't wait to link these two beauties together, and shake the sh*t out of our very loud guitarist. [b][i]Is it really only 20 minutes since I ordered the cab? [/i][/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesso Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 You'll have a bit of a wait though for the cab I'm afraid..... best thing to do is just forget you've ordered it, otherwise you'll be watching the doorbell like a man obsessed.

shizznit Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Anyone in the Cardiff area own a Bareface cab? I really have to hear what all the fuss is about after all of the great feedback I have read about these cabs on BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not in Cardiff, but Mid Wales, welcome to visit and try. On my 2nd cab now, can fully endorse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Can only congratulate you on your choice (and wherewithal, thems don't come cheap!) Streamliner 900 and Midget T/Compact combination here. Can't see how things can be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who is very interested in finding about this particular combination! [/quote] Ha ha I hear you brother!! As The Dood knows, I'm coming at this from the other way having been a Barefaced Super Twelve owner for the last couple of months, but still looking for the ideal lightweight head to go with it and the GB stuff interests me no end. The BST is an amazing cab, especially for its weight and size and makes a welcome break from lugging around less powerful yet much heavier 4x10s. At the mo I've resorted back to my Ashdown EVO II 900 head (which weighs much more than the BST cab!) and have recently tried out the Class D version of the EVO III in the form of the Ashdown ABM 1000 with my BST which sounds just as good without weighing a ton, but would love to know if the GB Streamliner 900 can produce the same depth and warmth that I can get with my old trusty EVO II. I've seen the stuff on YouTube which suggests it could, but as ever it's down to how the pudding tastes. I've tried a number of lightweight heads so far but nothing comes close to the tone I like from the EVO II + BST combination so I hope Alex goes into overdrive at Barefaced and gets your cab to you sooner rather than later!!

Mace Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Nice choice IMO, this is my current rig too and am very happy with it, both with my Stingray 5 and NSCR5 upright. Light, loud & lovely! Treat yourself to some earplugs if you don't already have a set, you'll need them 6-8 weeks should be a doddle compared to my wait of nearly 4 months earlier this year :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkG3 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Very nice! Get some pics of the Streamliner if you can Edited August 23, 2012 by S9_S12_Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Sounds similar to mine, which was why I went with the lower powered one. The S12T is so efficient that seems to be more than enough. For bigger gigs I always have the back up of the PA. Be interesting to hear how you get on with the more powerful version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 That rig is going to knock down walls, and sound lovely doing it. Look forward to the slightly scared yet glowing review Enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legoman Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hmmmm....I'm quite tempted to just buy a GB Streamliner 900 from Nevada Music and try it out seeing there's an 8 working day 'return it if you don't like it' distance selling regs policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I used the Streamliner 600 and BF Compact at my last gig. Most of the controls were at 12 o'clock except the master volume (and mids, but thats another story), which was around 10 o'clock. That was in a pub with a sound guy supplied (Golden Fleece in Chelmsford, if anyone knows it) who put everything through the house pa - DI'd the bass, miked up the drums and the guitars. It was LOUD - too loud for the gig imo but there was a lot more to give. Be interesting to hear how the 900 gets on paired with a S12 - that is going to be shockingly loud.

legoman Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just ordered a GB Streamliner 900 from Nevada Music to go with my BF Super Twelve but I gotta wait for it to come in stock, so will hopefully have it sometime next week. As soon as I get it I'll let you all know what the two are like together if The Brig hasn't done so by then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdowner Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Streamliner 900 and Bergantino (2 x 12) here - fantastico! Just been playing James Brown through it and it's a relief to know that the nearest neighbours are some way away! Congrats and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
