I've read alot of good things about the GB Shuttle 6.0-210T, but is there any bad?? (feel free to also reply with the good!!!) I'm thinking of picking one of these up this weekend...

The Yorkville XM200 with the 15" just isn't making me fell groovy anymore... LOL

Thanks in advance for your opinions...

I bought one about two weeks ago. So far I'm loving it!

A friend bought one two years ago and immediately did an outdoor gig with it. He's very happy with it. The only flaw is that the speaker jack needs to be jiggled from time to time to make proper contact. Based on his experience, I bought a Shuttle 3.0-10T and added a second 10T cabinet to it. It's light, loud, and sounds very good with my Godin A5 fretless or one of my Precisions. My Mesa/Boogie Walkabout Scout 1x15 sounds better (an it sounds better than anything!) but it weighs 65 lb and is not nearly as portable as the G-B.

Do you need to "jiggle" the jack on your Shuttle 3.0 as well? I have not experienced this with my GB shuttle 6.0.

Has he tried different cables to make sure that it's the speaker jack?

Genz are typically very solid amps and it would be surprising if it's a jack problem.

I would have had the jack problem fixed right away. It’s likely of the result of banging into the cab with the chord plugged into it, or it was just a bad jack to begin with. Either way, this is something you want to fix right off.
I wouldn’t worry at all about any jack problems with a new amp. QC seems to be quite tight at GB.

Im rockin the 6.0-12t with matching 12t extension cabinet. Needless to say, my GAS is gone.

If you ARENT desperate to get a new one, might wanna check the "hot deals" section and wait for a deal to pop up on Amazon.

There have been some smokin hot deals on the Shuttle 6.0-210t and 12t combos.

Is this the combo cabinet with the plug, or the extension? If the extension, have you checked your cable first? Give Scott a call Monday morning at the factory and he will get this sorted out for you.
