Hi Rob, as you've seen, I've only gone and bought one, ain't I? It was your approval and @agedhorse being involved - I've seen his stuff on Talkbass and he knows his pigeons - what swung it for me in the end. Looks like I be selling some amps an' ting soon. At this money, it's gonna have to be better sounding than both the Demeter pre + power amp rig AND the Genz Benz Shuttle or back to Thomann it goes. Spec looks perfect for my needs , though, and I dig the cosmetics. I'll keep you informed. Got me a gig in Ulverston tomorrow so it's gon' make its debut there. We'll see...

I bagged the last one from Thomann - ordered early hours of Saturday morning - and it arrives tomorrow, just in time for the weekend's shows. I'm trying to be cool about it but, well, y'know...

I'm keen to check one of these out, for sure, but I wish you'd asked ME what features to include as then this otherwise perfect looking amp would have at least one 9 volt output on the back to power a tuner ( or other) pedal. That's got to be a good, useful and relatively cheap feature, surely? I don't want you to feel too bad about it, though; I've been playing for 50 years, owned scores of amps and only just thought of it myself... Next time, maybe...

@agedhorse Are you involved in writing the manuals? Mesa manuals are consistently the best I've seen - low on marketing -speak, NO bullshit acronyms and full of actual useful pointers for real-world use. Well done , whoever it was. I can see one of these featuring heavily in my life very soon.

It was my pleasure to buy a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 off Sarah and her partner on Saturday last. Item as described, good comms, fair price (for both of us). Deal with confidence! Shug

Gotta say, I had a rumble 15 and I couldn't recommend it. I love the larger Rumbles but the 15's got nowt going for it , tonewise and obviously not enough power for anything but solo practice.

Pretty sure it's safe on a pub gig with you in the room all the time, likewise on tour where you travel with it.. It's putting it on an aeroplane or otherwise entrusting it to a third party where things might unravel, especially if there's a change of flight an route. Get it played, man!

Yea, kinda optimistic, mostly

There's a couple of GK combos on here that'd do you proud. A 410 @ £700 and a 115 @£555 if memory serves, either of which would sort you out, GK pretty much outclass most stuff on the market for durability and tone, IMO.

Just got me some cables off this fella and what a nice, easy and modestly priced transaction it was. Great quality cable and plugs ( Neutrik and Sommer respectively ), good comms, quick delivery. Forget the name brands, you'd be crazy to pay more elsewhere. I'm well pleased, me...
