Sign in to disble this ad
I've noticed several Boss GT6-B FX boards FS lately, going for as little as $210 shipped. I had considered buying one a month ago but opted for the Boss ME-50B model instead, mostly due to cost, and I'm very satisfied with it. Any thoughts or experiences as to why there's so many of them on the block these days ? |

IMHO.

On top of that, in the next 12 months I can see it selling new/barely used for $400.00 or less. It does quite a bit for the cash, imo - and it seems like it's a pretty big step up from it's predecessor (minus the synth section).
I'm pretty impressed, so far.  |

And when you look at retail price, the 6B costs over 350, and if you can find the 10B for 450...that's definitely worth it. However, a used 6B for ~150 doesn't look like to bad of a deal. |

I could never bring myself to pack it up and bring it with me to a gig. I just image the looks I would get when the bass player shows up with such a thing... |

I bought one, with a nice rocksack for 175 shipped. Lots of fun, but ultimately, with the bass, once you have a good tone, thats all you need | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
