This is one of the first combos that actually sound good for both electric and upright basses.
The electric sound i shoot for is Marcus Miller while my upright sound is Ray Brown/Christian McBride and this amp covers them both at 20 lbs.
Aside from the knobs/controls being on the tiny side, I’m really diggin the versatility and portability of this amp.

Above everything else I really appreciated the weight and portability.
I also bought a 22lb 2x10 cab that sounds great for electric with my Peavey Minimega head.
I couldn't resist reviving this old thread.
My wife and I just got back from two weeks on the road visiting relatives and babysitting 3 young grandsons for 4 days while their parents went to the Annapolis Boat Show.
Arrive back late Friday (after driving 12 1/2 hours - yuk) and had jass trio gigs Saturday night and this morning (Sunday morning 'jazz' church gig).
The point being, I came back really ready to play and with 'fresh ears'. I usually use a microphone - sometimes mixing with a piezo - and I did so again last night and this morning. I confirmed, once again, that the microphone not only 'sounds like my bass', but somehow 'feels like my bass'. That said, when I need a little more volume and 'gravitas' I am able to achieve that by mixing in the piezo.
So here is the point (FINALLY):
My Genzler Acoustic Pro Gollihur Model really does what I need it to do:
It has two completely separate channels each with its own EQ (INCLUDING SWEEPABLE MIDS), and PHANTOM POWER for my condenser mics.
I tried my Prodipe Mic on these two gigs and it performed admirably.
Bottom line: I really have to give the Genzler Acoustic Pro Gollihur Model TWO THUMBS UP.

I'm pretty much playing JUST my Double Basses. The slab certainly works through the Genzler but it's been a couple of years since I've played a gig on bass guitar. Just my preference and choice to stick with the 'Big Bass'.
If I had a bass guitar gig (and if it were likely to be somewhat loud) I might well take my GK Neo 112 and my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2 head. Those are two nice pieces of equipment that are mostly gathering dust these days.
