An innovative combo that addresses your sound and transportability issues with equal aplomb.

The Shuttle series was developed by Genz•Benz for professional players who require a flexible, full-featured bass system that is easily transportable and still sounds great.

The heart of the Shuttle series is the lightweight Shuttle 6.0 amplifier design. This 3.75-pound amplifier is available as a "head only" or in combo versions, such as this one, delivering 375W at 8 Ohms and 600W at 4 Ohms. In the combo models, the amp chassis can be easily removed from it's combo "saddle" quickly and carried to another gig in the pocket of your bass case or the available carry bag. The chassis has a handle that makes carrying the other half of the combo, the cab, just as easy to take with you.

The head is extremely useful as a standalone unit, with a headphone output that is excellent for quiet, personal practice sessions. You can adjust the volume level and tone you hear with the analog 12AX7 tube preamp, and, using the Post EQ setting on the DI, you can turn the Shuttle 6.0 into an outstanding preamp for recording. It also has an extended range input gain for active/passive sensitivity, effects loop, limiter circuit, LED status indicators, Speakon speaker outputs, tuner out, full XLR direct out interface, aux. input, and a headphone jack

The Shuttle 6.0-12T adds a rear-ported, Birch-ply enclosured amp that combines Genz•Benz's GNX12300 neodymium 12" loudspeaker with a custom sourced bullet tweeter with attenuation control for a bass combo that is as versatile as it is pleasing to the ear.

The Best amp I've owned

I love this amp. The price is steep but when you get it and play it is amazing. I do use my upright mostly for this amp and it gives it a really good upright sound. And when I need to switch to my electric it sounds good too. So even though the price is really steep it is really worth it.

Genz-Benz 6.0 shuttle 12T combo

Posted by Max from Levittown, NY on Oct 21, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: hobbyist

Reviewer's Play Style: rock, blues, rocknroll

The first one I received crapped out after 10-15 mins. Each time I used it. The second one is fine. I use it at home with a fender p, a sadowsky, a hofner and a ric 4003, all with flats. I prefer the l.f. boost selection. The tube preamp is warm but could be warmer...the 12" neo speaker reduces weight but is not quite the same as a regular speaker. Great for 32 lbs. and for travel.

Everything about this amp combo is pristine. The sound will blow you away. The price is nice...very boutique sounding without the boutique price for what you are getting. I'm a working musician, and I have no problem meeting any stage requirements. You can fit it in the backseat of any car, AND you get to carry your bass, amp, and effects pedals in one trip without sacrificing anything. The tone is rich and deep, with plenty of guts to accomodate any style...I use it for funk/jazz/rock etc. For some gigs I don't even bring the cab at all (get the carrying case, it's a winner and big enough for most of your stuff.) I've owned Mesa-Booogie, Eden (12 years), Ampeg, Carvin, Bergantino...this one is a real leap forward, and something that bassists who actually play more than twice a month have been waiting for a long time. I even practice more because I also use it as a headphone amp on my coffee table...a headphone amp with 600 watts of power. My goal is to get several different cabinets to keep at different rehearsal spaces, studios, and weekly gigs...there's plenty of possibilities. Lastly, it is one of the warmest, yet transparent, tones out there...so if your bass sucks, it's going to sound a lot worse. I'm giving it a 4.5 for features simply because the Direct Out does not have a volume control, just a line/mic switch...which hasn't been a problem. I doubt there was room in the unit's configuration anyway, but it would have been nice. Also, you can't buy the cabinet with the mounting brackets separately...I spoke to the company owner about this, and he is definitely not having that for some reason...however, he was very considerate of my request and honest. Best amp I've ever owned, bar none, and if it was stolen I'd replace it in a second.
