Great stuff as usual Ed! I'm gassing bad for one of these! I'm currently playing a GK 700RB II (480W) through GK NEO 412, and I'm pushing the amp a bit too much and distorting the low notes. I think Streamliner 900 would be a perfect match for a transparent, Hi Fi-ish cab like GK NEO 412 to warm it up a bit. What do you think? Does Streamliner sound better with transparent cabs? Also, I see Streamliner is not on the list of your gear on your site. How come?

@mouthmw - I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it will sound great through the GK cab. I have not updated my gear list in a long time.

@BassGuitarMag Thanks! Would you describe the GB 212T-UB or NEOX 212-T as Hi-Fi sounding and transparent?

[BassGuitarMag]

@mouthmw - The UB is a little more transparent than the NEO. The NEO is a little darker sounding, it has a smaller, less present tweeter than the UB.

to me the shuttle has more punch where as the streamliner has a more round tone

[BassGuitarMag]

@bassplayer2011ify - That is my impression too, though the Streamliner can be punchy. You just have to boost some mids.

@Karmaneoeric - Well, you'd better stay away from this video then, I'd hate to trigger a psychotic episode for you.

@synth77 - Google.

Hi Ed, I'm interested in the Genz Benz Streamliner. But what cab is a good match for the Streamliner ? I like the feel of the 12'' inches speakers. I crave for a 4x12 cab. At what cabs can I look for? Thank you!!

What bass he used by 3:52?

Fantastic video Ed! I want one of these desperately. I played in shop yesterday and my god. Great for headroom, great tones, and I love the gain boost for some fuzz. I found your review really helpful before going in there. You got me gassing for this one! Very nice piece of equipment.

I finally played through one of these beauties.My setup included a Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 4/12 cab and a Squier 5 string 70's jazz bass.Needless to say I fell in love.It's one thing to hear it on Youtube,but it's definitely an eargasmic experience in person.I'm definitley saving up for this amazing piece of equipment!

I just Bought That set and Its sweet!!! I Strongly recommend this to anyone who is into Jazz and Latin is Just Wow!! The Growl on the Gain helps it sustain with the tubes brings out harmonics and the gain with the Slap settings Is Really the Tube amp you looking into..(UB Cabs 2x10- with 1x12 all one Cab) (1x15 cab) and still all together it can handle the Power Just boost bass for Earthquake it can do it!!
