Fender closing Genz Benz and SWR??

Yeah when I used to carry a GB Shuttle 6.0 around in my gear box as a spare head, even sound guys would say "Who?" Not many people other than regulars here know who they are/were.

I think GB always had a perception problem in the marketplace. For example, I had known about them for years before realizing that it fancied itself a "boutique" brand, something totally belied by the awkward styling.
