100% satisfied. Will I keep this head forever? I don't know... what if Genz Benz comes out with something even better? If they do, watch out!
Sound
I know the big thing these days is slap tone.. scooped mids and high notes that bark at you. But since I have never been asked at an audition or a gig if I could slap, I figured warmth, solid thick mids and detail in my tone in a support role would be best. Enter the Genz Benz STM-900. Wow. Super light weight with power and tone! The 3 tube preamp brings to the table what small bass head manufactures only wish they had. And guess what? If do want slap tone with scooped mids there is no problem dialing it in. This head has it all man!
Features
The reason I give it a ten here is because in my book less is more. No adjusting of a ten band EQ... just simple, easy to dial in tone.
Ease of Use
I didn't have to break out the owners manual to use this head. No problems at all here!
Quality
When you pull this head out of the box you can see and feel the quality. Plug it in and Pow! there it is man. the tone speaks quality all the way. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the design of this bass head. And it should be a breeze on the road as it doesn't take up any room at all and with the GB gig bag it's snug as a bug in a rug dude!
Value
Worth every penny, period.
Manufacturer Support
Genz Benz. Do I have to say more? Their customer service is second to none hands down. Not because I have had to use it though. I have heard of a very few small issues with this head (as can happen in all manufacturing) and the folks reported that they had the problem rectified within 48-72 hours! hows that for customer support/service!

"Genz Benz Streamliner 900"

Seems very well built. Straight forward controls. Very easy to dial in or change your tone with very little effort. I play a wide variety of music, so this is a big plus. Not a lot of stuff you don't need or won't use. It's a little pricey, but it's got that nice warm tube tone that's elusive to many amps. It can also get stupid loud if needed. Not a problem keeping up with the drummer.lol The DI sounds great in the FOH also. So far it has met all expectations. I play a Warwick $$, Fender Jazz, & Ibanez, all 5-strings thru a Aguilar DB 4-10 (4 ohm).

After doing my home work,I started shopping for a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 Bass Amp. zZounds not only had the best price, but had it in stock, and shipped it the same day. It was at my home the day the shipping instructions said, and package very well.What more can you ask for ?Thanks for the good service.Sincerely. Don Boam.
