Genzler Amplification ! New Genz Benz ?

[Faraday]

In less than 24 hours there are over 100 posts from expectant, happy bassists. That tells you something about the man.

He produced some fine amps, backed them with great service, and regularly answered questions on TB. A very good man, in a tough business.

Fantastic news to wake up to!

My basement already looks a bit like a GB showroom, so I hope the marketing folks at nascent Genzler don't prove able to convince me that I "need" more bass gear, but I will be watching with great interest....

Lomo - you will always "need" more bass gear.

Great!

Please don't sell the company when it gets hot! Please!

IM sure its gonna be better than the old GB. I reluctantly sold my GB rig as I was worried about future support etc. Using GK stuff right now. But Ill be lining up once we see the available wares coming up!

 

[seansbrew]

Cant wait, I love the Genz cabs I have now. And I imagine his customer service will be top notch.

See you in September

GB is still supported - and quite well if you ask me. My Streamliner started acting up a while back (but well outside of its warranty) and AgedHorse has been extremely responsive with the troubleshooting steps, we've agreed that it's time for him to get his hands on it so it's packed up and ready to be shipped off to him tonight! I have every confidence it will be back to 100% when I get it back.

My favorite amp ever. GOBS of power, the exact tone I have in my head, and it fits in my freaking gig bag. It's just so perfect for what I want it to do.

I have no idea what Mr. Genzler could do to make an amp more perfecter than my Streamliner, but I can't wait to find out.

I would like super simple class d amp for the lightest of gigs.

Like, the contour combo amp in a class d head. 3/500 watts, handful of controls....sounds best with everything at noon. Perfect.

Sweet! My ShuttleMax 9.2 is still my favorite amp ever. I can't wait to see what he's come up with.

I use mine constantly too! It's pretty cool to see how much excitement this announcement is generating considering that I rarely see people using GB in the wild

 

[Jeff Elkins]

...this is the amp that finally fit me and my playing and gave me "THE SOUND" I was looking for. So excited to see what comes in the future!

My Shuttle 6.2 is my go to amp, by far. I can hardly wait to see what Jeff comes up with now!

I can't echo these sentiments enough. +1'd & Liked

(Shameless piggyback: Anyone know where a GB fan might find a footswitch for a Shuttle 6.2? More directly, any companies thinking about making a compatible footswitch in future?)

Awesome news! I'm still perfectly happy with the Streamliner 900 I bought new right when they first came out. However, I'm open to the idea of being perfectly happy with even more gear from Mr. Genzler as well good luck Jeff; we all missed you.

 

[TuneIn]

Hell yes! Thank you Jeff!

Now playing: "Return of the Mack".


If I could resurrect any of the holy triad of boutique bass amp manufactures (SWR, EDEN, GENZ) with their original engineers, its Genz. Hell, I'd take Genz over resurrecting both of the other two. The void has been there for us for far too long. Great news.

Make some more history, guys.

Great news! Love my Shuttle 6.0 and ShuttleMx 9.2. I've been hunting for an Uber 410 for a while now. Here's hoping news ones will be coming soon.

 

[Artobass]

Excellent news! My Streamliner 900 and Uber 410T have been the best rig I've ever owned. Thanks Jeff! It's great to see you coming back.

Thrilled to hear this, Would love to see a Genzler bass preamp / di pedal.

I like smaller, privately-owned companies such as this when it comes to MI amplification. When they find their groove and are flourishing, it raises the bar for innovation in the industry. In this case, it also raises the bar for customer service.

Did GB get sold to a big corp?

I had a GB 1x10 with the detachable head. Nice amp and great concept - best of both worlds. Was too small so I swapped it out but it was very nice.
