Schnozzalee Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Fresh New Thread Up for sale in AS NEW mint A1 condition Genz Benz rig: Genz Benz 750 Head inside lightweight Proel rack case + solid 5 button footswitch. Genz Benz Neo 2x12T cab with cover. ...AND!! the funny cable that connects them. Woo!! All bedroom use only. It has an output limiter so you can use it for practice (preferred it over my Roland Cube30) and it steps up to the big gigs of course. Really difficult to find 2nd hand - if you buy it, you will keep it and it'll make your other bass amps redundant like mine. American made, I think theres only two dealers in the UK that sell this model. Hitting over £2k when new (with trimmings), this amp has a fantastic tight FET channel which is killer for funk and slap, especially when scooping the eq via pedal. I myself enjoy the classic old skool valve channel on a mid-boost setting for the fingerstyle stuff I play. You can also mix both channels for clarity and grunt (this is particularly good for a jazz bass this setting!). I bought this amp for its lightweight and versatility but my change in musical direction towards guitar has forced my hand to move it along. A real gem though, it will be missed...if I don't decide to keep it! 675w of beastly tone through a 4ohm cab, anything from Jazz to Metal without a stutter. Easily transportable, even with a bad back - the halfstack only comes up to my hip (i'm 6ft) so its nice and easy to fit in a car. REASON FOR SELLING: I'm switching to electric guitar, thats all.

Schnozzalee Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Hi Ade, The BCer interested in the head isn't replying to my PMs so I'm going to have to refuse the split at current unless I find a buyer for the head then I'll notify you by PM if your still in the market. I'm only reluctant to split because I'd rather have the functioning rig to play basses/guitars through rather than only have the one component on a possibly long drawn out sale. I'd stick with the £450/£650 split price but will offer the entire rig for £1000 as an incentive for a buyer to collect it as a whole so I can replace it immediately. Many apologies! But i'll make sure you have first refusal if its any consolation just proving harder to sell than expected, hopefully I won't have to ebay it a second time. Its nice to see your currently using one of the cabs already Edited October 16, 2010 by Schnozzalee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds fantastic playing my semi hollow through the bass head, brilliant for the clean stuff (Lynyrd Skynyrd etc) but I was really after an Orange Valve amp for my Charvel for some screamy overdrive. I'm not in a band at current so the Genz Benz only gets some use when I'm transcribing stuff in front of my laptop - no gigs as yet! criminal.

LukeFRC Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) trying to find vids of my amp there are only 2 and one i this guy playing guitar through it. You could try pedals going into it? for the overdrive? If you wanted to swap heads for a more valvey sound... you'ld still be playing through a bass head! hey! have another bump Edited November 21, 2010 by LukeFRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a few PMs though all of a sudden so fingers crossed, I know i'll miss it though but i'm a guitarist at heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
