FS: Genz Benz Shuttle MAX 12.0 - $850 CONUS

dataBASS5 · #1 09-16-2009, 09:28 AM

Just like the title states, I am letting go of mine for the same price as the last one sold for on TB - $850 shipped CONUS. Comes with soft bag & footswitch. Shipped in OEM box w/ all papers. Low usage. No issues. Minty fresh. This was the sexiest thing at the last NAMM. Pics up later, but I think this will be gone before I can get them posted. Thanks for looking!

I have to give a bump here. DataBass5 is a great guy to deal with and he takes really good care of his equipment. I had a chance to play through this amp and it sounds great! It sounded so good, if I had the cash it would have never made it to the TB Classifieds!

Someone please buy this before I am tempted to spend money I shouldn't which would undoubtedly get me a serious beat down from my lovely bride of 24 years.

Yup, it's true. Crash has put in a firm STANDING offer of $150 cold hard CA$H!

Had he made an offer of about $700 North of that, we'd not be reading this thread.

I can throw an extra $30 Canadian in to sweeten the pot!

Oof. Talk about temptation. At a minimum, here's a bump for a good breed of cat and a terrific piece of gear. I've been lusting after one of these for a while now. While the thread ferments, I'll be over here in the corner, counting my scheckles and dreaming up rationalizations.

I tried that last night and ended up getting smacked in the back of the head. I think this is the fourth time in 24 years my wife has told me no.

Alphaman · #9 09-16-2009, 05:47 PM

Great Amp! I had one and traded it and severely miss it! You will not find this much sound at this small amount of weight! This thing was like 6 or 7 pounds and LOUD!

JimiLL · #10 09-16-2009, 09:02 PM

Its the WT-800A, made in 1998. Brand new GT 12AX7 in pre amp. Really nice shape!!

Ill work on the pics tomorrow

Thanks for all the interest yesterday, guys! Some tire kicking going on, and that's always welcome! In the OP I forgot to say I'm taking offers, so don't be shy!

Bump for a fantastic amp and a GREAT deal. I own one and it's everything the boards say it is. I especially like its ability to dial in just a touch of tube (or not), and the extra power.

VroomVroom · #14 09-17-2009, 11:24 AM

Bump for a really great guy, and in hopes that someone buys this so I can just say, "Oh well...missed that opportunity." Fair price on a rockin' piece of equipment.

FWIW...why I want it... I love my Shuttle 6. Great amp. On this one, I didn't expect to like the FET pre...but I do. And mixing the two...just yum. With my 6.0, the tone is a love/hate. My Roscoes, Lakland, and Lull sound incredible through it. Ditto the Rob Allen. But the MTDs and Sadowsky? Yuck. Not so with the MAX12.0 - those basses, using the FET pre, sound awesome. So...this instantly becomes a 'cover all my basses' type of amp. The temptation is killing me!

I really want this amp as well and knowing Data personally I know this amp is in excellent condition.

This ones heading to me!

TrevorOfDoom · #17 10-28-2009, 03:31 PM

i'll trade an Ashdown Little Giant 1000, 5 years worth of Bass Player and Bass Guitar magazines, and my housemate's cat that she never feeds.

oh, and a non-working Demeter Opto-Compulator!

One day soon I'm going to be sitting in front of the computer when one of these amps are listed....
