Great deal on a Kinetix

I don't need it.

I have a Magellan 350 and love it but when I got my Kinetix I was blown away by the tone.
You DO need it and that is a very low price.

It was about half price so I am not surprised that it sold quickly.
Maybe the Kinetix has been out for long enough that they'll start showing up on the used market occasionally. I'm very happy with my Magellan but a guy cant help but want to take one for a spin!
I bought a Kinetix here used. They rarely show up used. It is a very muscular and musical head.
I also have the Magellan but keep inching towards the Kinetix. That would make three heads two Genzlers and one Mesa.
I bought mine new which came to $1425 with protective case, tax, and shipping. No regrets because it’s been a stellar amp and there were no used ones on the market at the time, but that used one on TB was a very good deal.
I owned a Mag since the year it was first released.
Then I owned a Kinetix since the year it was first released.
I sense a pattern here.

I used to have a Magellan but now have a Kinetix. Not better but different, which works better for me. It’s all about knowing the types of tone you want and selecting the right bass, amp, and cab to get you there.
I recorded an IR for the 12-3 if you want to play with that too...
Ok Jeff, it’s January. Any hint of new things to come ?
I’ll gladly be a guinea pig for any necessary testing!!
I missed out on a bunch of GAC posts, having fallen victum to the "must visit thread" requirement for thread followers yet again. Any of these very active threads on TB are hard to keep up with!
Still loving the 10-2 series 2 combo with the 10-2 extension cab. I've used it for a goodly number of shows since I posted about it first several years ago. I'm always impressed by it's tiny size and weight, and it's gorgeous, balanced sound. It sounds good in every room I've played it live, and it's wonderful at home for practice.
I became reacquainted with my best friend in high school last year, a drummer who I played a lot live with back in HS and college. I showed him the Genzler combo, and he was floored how small and lightweight it is. I told him, "this amp outperforms the Fender Bassman 50 with its 2x15 cab I used back then," which is true. He said, "I bet you wish you had it back then!" and I sure do!

Almost time for the Not Available for Many Moons show, so I'm sure the news flow is embargoed until then.
that's not a slam on Jeff & Company. Typically when the G-man announces new toys, they are available at dealers right away. He understands the lunacy of some of his competitors.

@MaxSpinrun --- Yes, it is. Coming soon around mid month, but I will say that the "weight" is almost over. Play on words intended.
UPS seems to have lost one of my 10-2 cabs. The other one sounds nice I guess. I only tried it for a few minutes so far with a Darkglass Exponent 500 (underwhelming) and a TC BH250 which sounds better.
I'm still leaning toward returning them (assuming the 2nd cab ever shows up) for a magellan pre/di and sticking with IEMs and PA speakers, personally. The IEMs still sound better than the cab to me.

The Weighting …. Is the hardest part
