GENZ-BENZ GBE600 head FS/FT sounds KILLER

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey everyone,

I just got this head at the start of this summer, and I can't believe I'm selling it. It's in great condition, and works perfectly. This thing sounds great, has plenty of power, and is about as versatile as they come. It is very crisp and clear sounding, and brings out lots of growly character from basses, but also has a nice, balanced and fat bottom end. It has a tube and FET preamp, so you can choose classic tube sounds, more modern FET solid state sounds, or mix them both (what I usually did) for a "best of both worlds" kind of sound. This amp will run down to 2 ohms extremely well.

This amp is incredibly user-friendly, the EQ is simple but effective, the preamp is easy to dial in, and the 3 signal shape functions are GREAT.

There is a L.F. Extend which gives you more low end, there is a Mid Scoop (self-explanatory), and a H.F. Attack which gives you a bit of a high boost for some extra aggressive attack. For those of you who have had a hard time switching from fingerstyle to slap, this section (along with the FET/tube preamp) makes it VERY easy to switch.

This really is a great amp, but I just got a Mesa for a price I couldn't pass up, so this one has to go.

Amp comes with a 2-button footswitch for switching preamp settings from FET to Tube and to mix them.

Looking for $550 or trades. I'll trade for a 4 string Jazz bass

I'd also trade my Fender MIJ P-Bass, Charvel Fusion, or Yamaha RBX750a for the right bass. I've always wanted a Rickenbacker...

Head ships in a nice Gator Studio 2 Go rack mount bag. The bag has one tear on the outside, but does its job well.

You won't be disappointed, this thing is ready for whatever you throw at it.

PICS:











Here is the Gator Studio 2 Go bag

Just wanted to throw in a positive word for this amp. The GBE line is great, IMHO. The tube section, with factory tube, breaks up pretty early in the gain cycle, if I recall, but a switch to a Tung Sol 12AX7 will give you some more clean gain. The amp will run at 2ohm, smoothly, for...ever. Genz Benz has super customer support and will give out even the amp schematics if you feel you need that sort of thing. Also, the auxillary four button pedal is available from GB directly for $75 which includes a low extend, mid-scoop, high extend, and mute button (for me, this has been a very worthwhile addition).

Good luck to seller and buyer.

Thanks for the words about the amp!

The preamp tube section does break up if you turn the gain past about 1 o'clock, but you can avoid it breaking up by turning up the tube preamp VOLUME along with the master volume.

This thing gets way too loud for this to be a problem for me, I never turn the master volume past 3 or so clicks in the house.

HEAD NOW SHIPS FOR $650 IN A GATOR STUDIO 2 GO BAG

This thing really is a great amp, it won't disappoint!

I also have a Fender Japan '57 Reissue P-Bass, a Charvel Fusion IV, and a Yamaha RBX750a that I would trade for the right thing along with the amp.
