Is anybody playing GENZ BENZ ?

[smogg]

Sadly, no.

That's so sad. Still looking forward to pics though.

Hey @catcauphonic I showed mine now show us yours.

Thanks for the invite!

I love showing mine

I've been using my Streamlner 900 with a NeoX 212t for over 4 years now. I love it still. Great combination of light weight, portability, power and most importantly tone. I have other amps and I'll most likely buy something else in the future, but my Genz gear will be with me as long as I'm playing. Not going anywhere.

 

[Warwick Qc418]

I have the neox 400112t which is the same amp in combo, it's a great amp but it probably didn't hold much value. I also have the shuttle 3.0 neox 210 and focus cabs. Can't find anything better right now, everything else is "as good" but for much more $$.

I would have had no qualms about snagging a Contour 210 extension cab had I not found one of the 115's. When I got mine, I had to get the 115 combo amp and the 115 extension cab from two different dealers. Neither had both, but that wasn't a problem.

Some amps seem to work pretty well with mixed cabs. I used to have a MarkBass 210 combo amp that I paired with a MB Traveler 115 extension cab. Sounded pretty darn good! So I'm sure your rig sounds great also!

I got the 115 combo when they were blowing them out following the demise of GB. Later decided I needed the extension. There aren't many of those on the market, so when the 210 showed up on Guitar Center used in near mint condition, I jumped on it. It's a pretty nice rig for under $800 total.

Yes, since Dec 2011.

I am something of a hoarder when it comes to Genz Benz amps. I have a Shuttle 9.0, two Shuttle 9.2's and a Shuttlemax 9.2. I do use some Aguilar heads as well but if I could have only one head it would be a Genz Benz.

All of my GB heads are equipped with an older USA made 12AX7A or 7025 tube and sound fantastic.

Genz Benz is great gear. I played a Shuttle 3.0-10T combo with a 110 Shuttle Cab for years. Great little mini stack. 300 watts into 2 10's was all I needed for jazz gigs and home practice. I recently replaced it, but with a Genzler amp that is basically an updated version of the Shuttle. The only other amp I'd consider is Bergantino, but I think Genzler wins for simplicity and value.

I've got the Shuttle 6.2-210T and like so many have already said, it's going nowhere. The 210T's must be relatively rare as mine's the only one I've ever seen or heard of.

That is a fantastic comb amp. The shuttle mounted to the top of the 2x10 vertical cab right?
I told Jeff if he made a vertical 2x10 cab again it would sell like crazy. I have used stacked 1x10's for a long time and like the ability to just bring the combo, but if it were all in one I wouldn't mind at all.

“Is anybody playing GENZ BENZ?”

A Shuttle 9.0 is my daily rehearsal driver. In fact, it is virtually the only amp I am playing any more; because my cover gig has gone amp-less, and my other current gig is orchestra. I’ve had the 9.0 for probably 8 or 9 years now. Once, I sent it to @agedhorse for what turned out to be an intermittently bad speakon cable. Andy was impeccably gracious about the whole thing, but did subject the amp to some further reliability abuse, which the amp shrugged off like a Labrador retriever shaking off some early December swamp water. This amp replaced a Trace Elliot Hexavalve, which it roundly thumped sitting atop a Bergantino NV610. I have some other nice amps sitting in the closet for the moment. This one is my Timex.

 

[klokker]

I play a Shuttle 6.2 into a neox212t cab. Also have a Shuttle 6.0. Doubt I'll ever get another rig.

 

[buldog5151bass]

Great amps, but as others have said, not much value because of the weight. Just keep it in your rehearsal or practice space, and you can travel with just your bass there.

I've got one of those too. Great amp. I use it for my upright and it's perfect for that.

Here is a couple work shots my 212T. No glam shots unfortunately. One thing that has always impressed me is how well this cab responds to EQ. I have coupled the NEOx to many different amps over the years and I've always been rewarded with great sound. Just different flavors of great.

As long as we are showing

 

[Wicked G]

Since this is becoming a show thread, how's this for some Genz love?

All 3 sound great with my TCE and GK cabs.

 

[ezstep]

I still have one of those M200 heads, but I usually leave it at the church. I have 100% faith in its reliability.

My main gigging amp is a Shuttle 6.0, something that I will never let go. Plus a pair of Shuttle 2x10 cabs. Great gear!

View attachment 2880675 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.

That there's a rig.
