Can't Decide..

Sign in to disble this ad
Okay, so its a minor decision that I should be able to make, however.. I am incredibly indecisive, and cannot choose.

I've got two Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0's that I am looking to buy.

One - Brand New, NEVER OPENED, no footswitch, one year left on warranty. - $700.00

Two - Brand New, gigged less than 5 times, no footswitch, seven or so months left on warranty, comes WITH A CARRYING CASE. - $700.00

What would you say?

Welp. IMO, $50 is worth getting a brand spanking new amp that hasn't been gigged and has 5 more months of warranty.

I do hear the GB amp bag is pretty sweet, though :)

+1. In fact, some authorized dealers list their Shuttle 9.0s at the MSRP required by Genz-Benz, but invite you to make a bid or an offer. Doing just that, I got a great deal on an unopened, full-warranty, new-in-the-box Shuttle 9.0--with the gig bag and the foot pedal-- earlier this year.

Note that in the U.S., full warranty is 3 years for a new product purchased from an authorized dealer.
