Is anybody playing GENZ BENZ ?

[5StringBlues]

I have a Shuttle 9 as my backup/bluesjam amp.


Good stuff!

I have this old lead sled. Is it worth anything? It’s basically brand new never been out of the houseView attachment 2879685 It’s basically like brand new

That old lead sled is better than most new sleds today.
I will take the old dog off your hand.
Do you want to know a secret KEEP IT.

It’s the NeoX 212. It was all the rage about 8-10 years ago when I bought it. I got a great deal on the cabinet. I think I paid $550 for brand new. Some lady won it somehow and sold it on eBay brand new still in the box

Much as though I would love a GB amp my funds are limited. I’ll offer $50 plus shipping.

I love how it says “600” then “six hundred” underneath for the plonkers who can’t read “600”!!

Like the old tube works guitar amps. I worked at a music store that sold them and one day we counted how many times one of them had the word "tube" on it. I don't remember the count but it was well into double digits. The amps were solid state.

Well, they typically mentioned tube several times, but there was a tube in most of them, and the MOS-VALVE part was a fairly innovative application of MOS-FETS that worked pretty well for that particular goal.

The GBE 600 is a GREAT sounding amp. Authority and punch way beyond its power rating. A classic amp, in my book...

So maybe it's worth $600 ...

I have a Contour 500 2x10 model with a 12t under it love it
I had a Shuttle 6.0 2x10 combo that I also loved, but sold it to a friend who was replacing gear he had to sell when he lost his job and I had 5 bass rigs at the time

yes, i have the Shuttle 3.0 10T. What a great little combo. Super light, great sound, loud, tilts back, nice DI, and i love how you can unscrew the head and separate it from the cab.

Also have a pair of neox 12t cabs. awesome.

I have a 6.0 12T Shuttle Combo for sale here but thinking of pulling it....suck a great combo. I used to have the Neo212 cab....great sound!

 

[aguacateojos]

I've been using my Shuttle 9.0 and Neo 2x12 for almost seven years - never been unhappy with it. Purchased 03/2011... dang! I can't believe it's been that long!

 

[JMacBass65]

I bought a GB Neopak 3.0 from a TB'er about 4 years back and have zero regrets.
It may be discontinued in the model line but it has been remarkably reliable and sounds great.
The only concern I have is the stupid tiny chrome buttons for things like standby and active/passive come loose and fly away...

Into Eden 210 XLT and D-15 this rig sounds very good (to my ears).

I have one as well, play into a Ampeg 410. My #1 amp when I can't take my SVT out to play.

 

[gelinas666]

Yep. And it kicks butt!

 

[divetone]

I bought the same amp new way back when. It sounded good but crapped out on me a couple of times. I didn’t push it hard or gig with it all that often. My dealer said maybe I just got a lemon. I gave it to a young friend in need of a rig. It crapped out on him but he got it repaired and he’s gigging with it now. He is a weight lifter so shlepping is not an issue. He loves it.

Currently run a SM 9.2 into two Uber quads for bass guitar and my midi foot controlled synth patches (Moog Taurus, loops, synths) through a Mesa MPluse 600 to two Uber 15’s.

Wow, this is the first GBE-750 or 1200 I have heard of having a problem is maybe 4 or 5 years, I suspect that the actual problem didn't get repaired rather than getting a lemon. I haven't repaired one of these in a long time and there are a lot of them still out there (mostly in the big touring world), and I would be the one they would be contacting.
