Total Let Down!!

First one failed and GB replaced it. Now the second on is having problems and I'm Extremely MAD.I purchased this product strictly on it's positive reviews. What a mistake. Now when GB fixes or replaces this one I'll never be able to fully trust it. I should have spent the extra $$ for the Mesa. Lesson learned.

The Best Amp Period!

I've played Boogie, GK, and most recently Markbass amps through the last 25 years. About a year ago I stumbled upon the MarkBass Little Mark2 head and thought I won the lottery of tone! Guess again; I walked into a rehearsal space a few weeks ago and the amp on site was the Genz Benz GBE 600 I immediately fell in love with the tone and the ability to dial in a great sound quickly. I did not want a heavy amp of that size so I checked out the entire line up of Genz Benz amps and found the Shuttle 6.0 to be the perfect fit. I sold the Little Mark immediately and have to tell you, the sound, ease of use, power, and clarity to be the best I have ever heard! Period!At 3.75 pounds and 600 watts, you don't need anything else. Metal, funk, classic tube sounds, it's all there! And amazingly, I called Genz Benz with a question regarding the amp and none other than Jeff Genzler called me back personally! Great guy, great amp, buy it!

The bass player in my band recently switched to this, and had played through a sansamp and power amp prior to it. This thing kills the sansamp as far as tone is concerned, and is extremely small and light for a bass amp. Has a nice and warm round sound if that's what you're looking for.

From an engineer's POV

First of all, let me say that this thing BUMPS! I worked with a band this weekend whose bass player had this amp paired with the 2x12 cabinet and it was LOUD! Don't get me wrong; it sounded great. This bass player had to play many different styles throughout the night and the rig sounded great all night. He said that he had the fan modded and sped up cuz it was getting hot. So use that info at your discretion. He did say that GenzBenz did the mod/repair for him. He carries it IN his gig bag with his bass!! The direct out was super clean too. Not even the slightest buzz.

LOOK no further- This is IT; Well made and so portable.Cool looking. Works every time and no hiccups with it. Before I bought it, I e-mailed a question via the Genz Benz web site. The OWNER /CEO answered personally, within TWO hours, and it was a SATURDAY afternoon. Now THAT is service ! ! Tell me another company that does that. Features: Size and power. It is so small and light, it seems like a toy, - till you power it up, then WHAM ! It rocks, and rocks ALL NIGHT, never misses a beat. Cute little blue lights as well..It has all the features, plus a little switch on the back to automatically switch in to European voltage (240) if you are a travelling man. The only thing I can think of adding would be a built in tuner, but I am now being picky. I like it as it is. Sound: Brilliant tone, and a very nice "tube" sound, on a par with much more expensive 'boutique' amps. In the past I have either used or owned, Fender, Hi-watt, Marshall, Ampeg, Eden etc. etc; you get the picture, well this baby is up there in the BIG league and LOT cheaper. It will reproduce ANY sound you want of the afore-mentioned heads. Fantastic bass boost /gain control on it. Playability and Feel,is great. It Rocks all night, and you would not believe the amount of interest it creates among other players.
