Genz-Benz m line 200 2x10

[mgone]

Does anyone have any information on a Genz-Benz M line 200 2x10 Bass Amp? The one I'm looking at is about 6 years old. Are they known for any problems, should I be looking for anything in particular other than that it seems to work fine. What would be a reasonable price to pay.
Thanks for your help

No experience with that model personally. I did have a 2X12 combo even older than that, forget the model. It was a bit large and heavy, as were all gigable combos back then. It sounded exceptional. Since then I've owned a GBE 750, 2X123 Neo cab, and a NeoPAK. It's all been awesome gear.

Can't help you on the price. Their products do seem to go for more than the average Peavey, Crate, Chinese Acoustic stuff. Even new, a bargain for the quality you get.

If it hasn't been abused, it should be splendid.

Genz Benz is known for very high quality and reliability.

If everything works well on it now, it should last a very long time.

I have one in very good condition that I got used 3 years ago for $300. Non-tilt design cabinet with the spring handle underneath... I considered that a great deal then, and a fair to good deal now. It was purchased for band rehearsal, and I used it every thursday during that time with zero issues. Took it on a few gigs without complaint... Flexible EQ, plenty of oomph, interesting options for running different cabs. Invalid Link Removed

It's still fully supported.

A couple of weeks late but.....
I've got a ML200 - 210T and it's all I play with anymore.
It sounds good by itself but really takes off when I plug it into a 1-15" Peavey Cab.

It gets pretty loud, it's not too heavy (about 60 lbs. I guess), and is solidly built. I like it a lot.
If I had any issue, it would be that mine is the older tilt-back cab and when sitting upright, it is a little top heavy and will fall back without much outside help.

I also, have a GB 6.0-12T which I'm going to be selling to a neighbor this weekend (just don't need it)
and Peavey AlphaBass / SWR 210 rig that just sits in the closet. I like the ML Combo better.

Here is is:

I have had one for a while now-used to be my main rig but i switched to something more powerful...I added a GenzBenz 15" extension cab to it and it sounded great-I eventually needed something a little more powfeful...Hope it works as well for you as it did me!

Just bought the same thing as yours. I will split the output with a Peavey cab with 1-15" & 2-10" can't hardly wait to hear that. FYI, I disassembled the amp part and took it out of the cabinet as some of the switches were noisy. Buy some tuner cleaner and spray some i the pots and switches. It will clean all the possible noises due to long stays or idling in a basement for too long. Cheers.

The strap handle is the pits, I will replace it along with the foot knobs as the ones on mine are shot.
