It's all good. The first beer at NAMM is on you though.
Hey Ralph,
Mike has said he will bring his 9 over to my place the next time Don has one of those 15/6's coming down the line. We will make sure to give you a heads up if you want to hang.

I have really enjoyed my GBE 1200 , even though I get a good physical work out everytime I move it...I had a GB Shuttle 6.0 which was really convenient to move when I was in a hurrry and had to move my gear quickly 
, and it also sounded great...but could'nt do 2 ohms like the GBE1200 does(I have 3- 4 ohm cabs-including a GB Uber 410-all handle 950-1000 watts RMS each))...so the Shuttle 9.0 would be a better match for me wattage wise, but it still can't do 2 ohms...now if the 9.0 did 2 ohms, I'd be all over it 
!! Anyone else feel that way??
Hasbeen....are there any plans for a 9.0 mod that can do 2ohms, or a new version, or maybe a 9.0/12.0 
that can do 2 ohms?? Thanks ahead of time ...Peace...DAcat

Nope. I've been lamenting lately that none of the micro-makers have a ~1Kw amp that's not a two channel 4ohm job but a straight single channel down to 4 ohm head. This might just do it for me. At least it looks like it will be the thing.
...really I can't wait to see what the next volley in the micro-wars will be, since I was under-whelmed with the Markbass 800 series.
Have you checked out the EA Amps? They do go down to 2 ohms.
Heresy to say that on the Shuttle thread. Sorry.
I'll have my 9.0 on Monday. I'll post a quick review and comparison between the 9.0 and 6.0 either Monday evening or Tuesday.
Just ordered my 9.0 from what i believe is the UK's first shipment. Should go well with my Neox 212
I just got my 9.0 on Friday. I'm going to compare it to my 6.0 using a Bergantino AE 410 today. I'll let you know what I hear.

OPL
Not sure what OPL means, but I've literally spent THOUSANDS on gear there over the years, and they can't even cut me a deal on a set of strings every now and then.
Seriously, two Ken Smiths, a Tobias sig 5, Fender Victor Bailey and a few amps. All within the last 6 or seven years.
You would think, if I were them, that when I walked in to check out a bass, that there could be a chance I could take it home.
They don't even remember my name.
Someone else can shop there.........I won't anymore.
Sorry for the rant!
Hi Greg. I'm actually on a gig now with my 6.0 and Berg HS410. OMG what an incredible sound! Can't wait to get my 9.0. I'm looking forward to hearing your review.

I've just spent a few hours playing my new Shuttle 9.0 and my 6.0 through a Berg AE 410. I've been playing with my Nordy vJ5 in a pretty small room without other musicians. Here are my initial impressions:
1. The two Shuttles are much more alike than different. They're both voiced similarly -- you'd have no trouble identifying them as Genz Benz products!
2. The 9.0's preamp seems to be a little less sensitive than the 6.0. I have to set the gain and volume a few clicks higher to get a blink from the overload light on the 9.0!
3. In the smallish room that I was playing in, the B string low notes with the 9.0 seemed to have more focus and a more easily-identifiable pitch than with the 6.0. This is probably a result of the deeper Shuttle Max-type voicing that the 9.0 shares.
4. This sucker is loud!! Once I realized that the gain and volume at 12 o'clock were different on the 9.0, I "gain-matched" the preamps (sorta!) and the difference in apparent volume was impressive.
5. The 9.0 has a better low end-to-high end overall balance than the 6.0. With similar tone control settings, my notes seemed less harsh, less strained, more full and more satisfying. I could overcome this impression somewhat by tweaking tone controls (especially when I reduced the mids on the 6.0 in the 1kHz range).
Both of these amps are great sounding, especially when you consider the "sound-per-pound." Tomorrow, I'm going to rehearse with my corporate cover-band. I'll probably play my F Bass BN5 through a Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 1000. I've done this a few times with the Shuttle 6.0 and I haven't quite found my sound yet. Maybe my results will be different with the 9.0's extra power and new voicing!
What a great time to be a bass player!!
More later ...

There's another 1KW, 2 Ω, SMPS/Class D amp too. A thread on it can be found in the DB forums...
