Scooby Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I recently purchased a Genz Benz Shuttle 3. It has a great sound for such a small combo, it's light, easy to carry around, pack into the back of your car and has all the sound variations you could want from an excellent EQ. Unfortunately, the original combo developed a slight fault, which was quickly put right but, having only just purchased the combo, the distributors very kindly sent me out a brand new replacement rather than have me wait for the repair to the original combo. The only reason I'm putting this brand new unused combo up for sale is that I use Markbass as my main rig. When it comes to smaller gigs I started to use the original combo, which although loud enough and having all the EQ necessary, I found that I was changing the settings on my basses, altering my FX rack just to get the right sounds from the Genz. Then on larger gigs having to do all the alterations prior to the gig. So, I'm considering changing my rig and just using Markbass stuff. That means someone will get a spanking new Genz combo with a full two year guarantee, still packed in its original box, manuals etc for a stunning low price. Here's what Genz Benz say about the Shuttle: "Our most popular product - this combo defies belief, deep low end, tight mids and clear highs. Perfect for electric bass and ideal for upright and acoustic bass (the parametric mid-range is great for reducing feedback). Add another 8Ω cab for a full range 300W rig, we can also supply a custom made gig bag with shoulder strap for easy transport. Serious bass rigs have never been this portable! You can plug your ipod/cd player into the amplifier and play along through the cabinet or use headphones for silent rehearsal." The combo was bought from the Bass Gallery in October 2010 for £795. Shop around and you can get it for £700. I'm asking [b]£515[/b] plus postage or collection. Bargain ... Edited July 8, 2011 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba_the_gut Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Bump - Why does this always happen? I'd have bitten your arm off for this a few weeks ago but bought something else now!! Can't believe it's still here - great saving over new price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Very heavy questions now - 'Why am I here?' 'Where am I going?' I'd be most appreciative for any relevant answers to the Combo's searching questions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Horton Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I played one of these at the Gallery a while back and was amazed at how such a small rig can produce such an amazing tone. Have a bump for a great combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
