Genzler Magellan 800 - £585 shipped Unfortunately I won’t be gigging anytime in the near future so I’m downsizing my kit. First up is my Genzler Magellan 800. There’s lots of info about these online and on these hallowed pages. A very versatile amp but unfortunately now surplus to my needs. OVERVIEW / SPECIFICATIONS: PREAMP – dual channel, all solid state analog design with integrated soft clip circuitry. INPUT– 1Meg ohm input impedance INPUT PAD SWITCH – attenuation of -8.5dB CLEAN CHANNEL OVERVIEW – Voiced to provide natural, pristine, transparent reproduction of the bass instrument. DRIVE CHANNEL OVERVIEW – Voiced to provide a more “driven” tonal signature and harmonic content along with a softer top end and more relaxed low frequency response. CONTOUR — continuously variable control of 2 vastly different response curves. In either CURVE position, when the SHAPE control is all the way off (CCW) the response curve is completely FLAT. Curve A (Blue) — a variable pre-shaped curve that boosts lows and highs while simultaneously cutting mids. The slopes are fairly gentle which keep the tone shaping very musical. This curve covers a wide range of sounds from flat to classic to modern depending on the position of the SHAPE control. Curve B (Amber) — a variable pre-shaped curve with attenuated high mids and highs, a low mid bump, and a slight roll-off of the lowest bass frequencies. Again, the slopes are fairly gentle which keep the tone shaping very musical. This curve is intended to provide sounds in the range of vintage amps and vintage cabinets that do not have tweeters. ACTIVE EQUALIZATION – The MAGELLAN™ 800 contains an active 3 band equalizer with a sweepable parametric mid-range frequency control. Bass +/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 75Hz Mid +/- 15dB boost/cut of the variable mid frequency selected Freq Variable mid frequency from 150Hz-3kHz Treble +/- 15dB boost/cut shelving curve with a corner frequency of 6kHz POWER AMP – The MAGELLAN™ 800 uses a state of the art, class D power amplifier design and a high frequency auto-sensing universal switch-mode power supply (SMPS) to achieve unprecedented high performance and lightweight packaging. There are no Voltage Switches to change or jumpers to move. This SMPS senses the line voltage from 100-240 Volts and automatically configures itself.

Nice bass but the ad seems a little 'brief'. More detail would perhaps help your sale What year is it from (pre-2005 judging by the nut)? Key features - ebony board I believe? Is there any damage or any other faults of note? Does it have a case? Do you have any more detailed/up-to date photographs (I only ask as some of these photos appear to be the same ones used on a for sale thread on TalkBass from 2006)?

Thanks. I've taken a couple of other pics to try to show the difference in the 'roundness' of the contouring between the two.

Now sold

Alas, I’ve no means of getting an accurate weight unfortunately. Suffice to say that these Specials are significantly lighter than the previous models. It’s by far the lightest of these four (cue gratuitous ‘wall of basses’ shot):

New price folks, the first £1800 gets a spanking new bass and one hell of a bargain

Very nice. GLWTS and if anyone is after a matching 6 string version to go with it, give me a shout!

😍😍😍

Beautiful bass

Possibly but I like things to be original, or at least any changes to be reversible.

Withdrawn What was I thinking????

Why do these things never come up at the right time 😔 GLWTS

Still available peeps ⬆️

Beautiful bass Glwts
