Genz-Benz m line 200 2x10

[mgone]

Does anyone have any information on a Genz-Benz M line 200 2x10 Bass Amp? The one I'm looking at is about 6 years old. Are they known for any problems, should I be looking for anything in particular other than that it seems to work fine. What would be a reasonable price to pay.
Thanks for your help

No experience with that model personally. I did have a 2X12 combo even older than that, forget the model. It was a bit large and heavy, as were all gigable combos back then. It sounded exceptional. Since then I've owned a GBE 750, 2X123 Neo cab, and a NeoPAK. It's all been awesome gear.

Can't help you on the price. Their products do seem to go for more than the average Peavey, Crate, Chinese Acoustic stuff. Even new, a bargain for the quality you get.

If it hasn't been abused, it should be splendid.

Some reviews here:

Genz Benz is known for very high quality and reliability.

If everything works well on it now, it should last a very long time.

I have one in very good condition that I got used 3 years ago for $300. Non-tilt design cabinet with the spring handle underneath... I considered that a great deal then, and a fair to good deal now. It was purchased for band rehearsal, and I used it every thursday during that time with zero issues. Took it on a few gigs without complaint... Flexible EQ, plenty of oomph, interesting options for running different cabs. Manual can be found here...

Here's the owner's manual: http://www.genzbenz.com/img/manuals/gb/ml200manual.pdf

It's still fully supported.

A couple of weeks late but.....
I've got a ML200 - 210T and it's all I play with anymore.
It sounds good by itself but really takes off when I plug it into a 1-15" Peavey Cab.

It gets pretty loud, it's not too heavy (about 60 lbs. I guess), and is solidly built. I like it a lot.
If I had any issue, it would be that mine is the older tilt-back cab and when sitting upright, it is a little top heavy and will fall back without much outside help.

I also, have a GB 6.0-12T which I'm going to be selling to a neighbor this weekend (just don't need it)
and Peavey AlphaBass / SWR 210 rig that just sits in the closet. I like the ML Combo better.

I have had one for a while now-used to be my main rig but i switched to something more powerful...I added a GenzBenz 15" extension cab to it and it sounded great-I eventually needed something a little more powfeful...Hope it works as well for you as it did me!
