Help me with a new Genz Benz Rig

Hi Steve, I don't want to hijack your thread here, but you are the man to talk to. I'm usually playing low volume gigs with friends: a couple of acoustic or electric guitars, djembe or tabla. People are singing usually without a PA so they set the highest volume and you must stay under it. I don't want to bring too much amp to this gig and have to run my volumes on amp and bass super low. Kind of like bringing a 100W Marshall stack to the gig, it's just too much. I'm looking at a shuttle 6 with the 12T or maybe the shuttle max 6 and a 12T or the Neox 112, depending on what comes my way on the Talkbass classifieds. I like the idea of the 2 channels with the max, and the simplicity of the shuttle 6. Thanks, Dan

I like having the 2 channels. I don't use/mix in a lot of tube, but I do like a little. And if I ever have a gig where a more tubish sound is called for, I can do it.

How does the shuttle 12 compare to the Bergantino HT-112?

I haven't had the Berg for a while so my memory is fading. I remember it was a great cab - probably a little more full range than the Shuttle 112. I;m guessing the Berg would sound great with the MAx 12 head. I just went with the STL 112 as I have been so impressed by GB.
