Genz-Benz Price Increase Coming!

RocketMusic · #1 06-22-2011, 05:45 PM

Hey, guys,

I just heard from my Genz-Benz guy that prices are going up on July 1st.

I'm reading between the lines here, but my take on it is this: some of it is a response to the rising price of neo (20% increases on some cabs), and some of it is just due to the fact that Genz-Benz prices have been stable for several years now. We all know gas has been going nowhere but up, and the dollar is going nowhere but down. Without a price increase, that just means their margins have been getting worse and worse over time. Anyways, that's all just speculation on my part, but I'm guess I'm just trying to say that I'm not at all suprised to hear this from Genz-Benz.

So that leaves a week and a half to grab stuff at the old prices. And unfortunately for me, I won't be here next week. I might be able to help faciliate some drop ship sales from my vacation wonderland, so please do give me a try if next week is when you can do it. If I can make it happen for you, I will!

Cheers,
Greg

Just saw this one. I guess it was bound to happen. I suspect that the price on lots of other goods will eventually creep up in price as fuel continues to increase.

I sure wish there was an end in sight to this terrible economy!

All things considered though, the GB heads are a great value feature wise and dollar per watt.

I guess it's technically July 1st, but I still don't have the new official price list. So my website still shows the old prices (for now). I expect that will change this coming week...

Just got the new GB price list. I'll be updating the prices on my site early this coming week...

No changes to the streamliners, it's mostly cab prices that went up...

I just updated my GB prices.

Some good news, some bad. Most of the neo cabs went up noticeably, but most of the heads actually came down a smidge.

Please note that I am also now stocking the NEOX cabs again. I might dabble with the XB3 stuff, too, although I've yet to pull the trigger on that.

Cool Greg! I think that we all knew that the neo's were going up but that's good news on the heads.

I've got to say that the more that I gig with the GB Shuttlemax 9.2 the more impressed I am. Just a killer head!
I don't even miss my Thunderfunk 550 and after 7 years of gigging with one that's saying something.
