DanH71 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi, Just getting back into playing after too many years away and have just purchased a GENZ BENZ Shuttle 6 on eBay for £255, to amplify My also recently purchased Fender Squier (don't mock me) Vintage Modified Jazz Bass. It sounds pretty good unamplified I must say and will do me until I can justify buying American! So, I'm looking at a single Cab that can handle a 4ohm load of 600W and will do the GB justice. I play finger style on Jazz,Funk,Blues & Zappa also:) Ideally something lightweight and am open to 210/212/115 configs. I may be wrong here but from some of the things I've read the GB gear is pretty bright/hifi like so I'm guessing I need a cab to counterbalance this trait? I know lightweight and new comes at a hefty price so am focused on the secondhand market for older cabs or perhaps less fashionable ones. Whatever can give me as much bang for as little bucks as possible really. Heard many names on the threads I've read so far but am unsure as to whether they are a good match to my head or are even 2nd hand within my price range (circa £200-300), so would be interested in what other GB Shuttle 6 users have found through their experience. Thanks D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 No one is going to mock you for having a Squier, they are generally well regarded around these parts. I've used a Shuttle 6 for the last few years with a pair of Mark Bass 2 x 10"s. Powerful, versatile (in that one cab is enough for rehearsals) and lightweight.

DanH71 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks Gary. Yeh, would mainly be rehearsals at first but will need it to carry over to small/med gigs too ideally. As for the Squier, I did do my research on it knowing I couldn't justify going straight back to hig-end basses and heard a lot of good things too.

Horizontalste Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Genz Neox 2-12 would be the obvious choice for me, they pop up used from time to time. I use the shuttle with focus 2-10 cabs & it's all I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Bergantino HD cab. Awesome things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanH71 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) After a quick ebay search Bergantino HD looks a little bit out of my bracket. GB Neox 212 sounds amazing but not getting much in terms of search results for 2nd hand gear. Guess it would be a matter of waiting and watching.

DanH71 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Epifani UL212 or Tecamp M212s? I guess it's a matter of hearing the two together but when your looking at 2nd hand gear it's not that easy to test. The Epifanis also have a lot to offer so I may keep an ear out for those. Any other suggestions welcome based on previous experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
