Why so many Boss GT6-B's FS ?

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 ?

Honestly, this is the first time I've seen this many up for sale. I think most of it is due to the GT-10B. IMHO.

A lot of people buying it (in the U.S., at least) have reported being able to score it for around $450.00. 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.

GT-10b would be the reason. And like neuromancer said the upgrades definitely look worth it. 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.

Also there are a lot of people like myself who bought one because they are fun to play with, but after a few months, never used them and they just sat and collected dust. 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...

My sentiments exactly. 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
