Price drop! $800 shipped, $750 (cash) for local pickup.

Hi Folks,

Up for sale is a Genz Benz ShuttleMAX 12.0 amp. Serial number 09001130. Manufacturer info and full specs can be found by CLICKING HERE.

Info, condition, terms
I bought this amp new from Gelb Music in Redwood City, CA, in October of this year. It's been on two gigs, and has otherwise seen frequent but light use in my living room as I experimented with pre-blend and EQ settings. It's in great condition and has not been stressed or abused. Aesthetically, there are some light scratches in the black paint of the housing, and the pics below accurately represent the appearance.

Included with the amp are the Genz Benz padded carry bag and a heavy-duty 12' power cable. {{EDIT: footswitch also included. Thanks to Allen for the assist!}} I do not have the original box, but if shipping is involved in the transaction I will certainly pack the amp with great care.

Price is ~~$875~~, which includes insured UPS Ground shipping within CONUS. Paypal is fine, but I'd much rather have payment where I don't need to eat fees. Preference given for local pickup (SF Bay Area), with a price of ~~$825~~ in cash. If you're outside of the continental US and gotta' have it, let's talk...but I strongly prefer a simple domestic transaction.

So why am I selling?
This thing really does sound great. And it's incredibly light. I honestly have no complaints with it. I bought it mainly for flexibility, and because I really dug the sound of blending the FET & tube pre-amps with my MTD and Sadowsky basses. The reason it's up for sale - plain and simple - is that I've sampled the Shuttle 9.0. That amp is a better fit for me for a few reasons: size, ease of running a 4-ohm load, and fewer knobs (I'm a simple man, with simple needs.

)

Summary
Let's close this deal.

Near-new amp + carry bag priced to sell. Thanks for your time and let me know if you have any questions!

Does it include the foot pedal switch also? Not shown in the pics...

Thanks!

Great question, thanks! Yes...I just need to find the darn thing.

I totally forgot it was included with the amp. Which means, obviously, it's never been used.

I went to the store to buy a 9.0 and went with the Max 12 instead. I need the ability to mix/blend/delete the tube channel with the FET. Great price for a great head.

Cool, thanks for letting me know. Looks like it might get sniped before I pull together the bread to pick it up anyway!

PM's returned, and thanks again to Allen for the assist with the footswitch.

It has been located, is in brand-new condition, and will certainly be included with the amp, bag, & power cord.

No problem

Better find it and part with it now than find it in a month and have no use for it!

Great Amp! Traded mine back in July and have missed it ever since! Bump for a cool guy with more sound clips than Itunes!

I'm seriously considering this one...

namuxtree · #10 12-12-2009, 01:06 AM

trade for aggie AG500SC?

namuxtree · #11 12-12-2009, 04:20 PM

i can have it delivered to you at the bay area too if you want. my friend is going up this weekend. let me know!

namuxtree · #12 12-12-2009, 06:38 PM

plus a 4 space SKB rolling rack!

VroomVroom · #13 12-13-2009, 12:36 AM

Thanks for the offers, but I'm hoping to purchase a new Shuttle 9.0 with the proceeds from this sale. This really is a great amp, and if I didn't have an Epi 902C for my "heavy lifting" it'd be a no-brainer to keep it.

Bah-rump-a-bump-bump.

Here's a bump for a great TB'er. You won't find a better guy to deal with on this site. A quick listen to his clips and you'll see that he's also a monster player, and this amp is the real deal.

Allen_VA · #16 12-14-2009, 09:19 AM

I'm looking at this thread again for about the 6th time - BUMP.

VroomVroom · #17 12-14-2009, 12:47 PM

Thanks for the assists, fellas - I really appreciate it. Allen, it's ready to go in a box and be shipped out today.

One more pic, just to prove I really did find the footswitch.

Amp & power cord are in the bag...

VroomVroom · #18 12-15-2009, 08:37 AM

Bumpopotamus...
