Genz Benz Contour 500 210 combo - reduced to £150 £185 Wallasey

[PaulHornBass]

The Genz Benz Contour 500 210 bass combo is a popular, discontinued bass amplifier known for its powerful, clear sound and versatile features. It features a 300W Class D power amp (500W with an extension cabinet) and a 2x10" speaker configuration with a tweeter for high-end clarity. Key features include a FET preamp with gain and volume controls, a Contour tone-shaper, and an active EQ section with a parametric midrange filter. 

 

In good gig-ready working condition. The overdrive and limit LEDs do not illuminate but this in no way impairs the function

 

Purchased on here for £185 and now up for sale for the reduced price of £150, as my #1 rig has been returned to me and I have no need for two! 

 

Collection from Wallasey, Merseyside

I've had one of these and seem to remember it was a pretty decent combo.

Thanks! It's a nice combo with some heft to the tone. If it was practical for me to have multiple rigs, I'd keep hold of it.

Weekend bump for this bargain beast

For anyone wondering about these combo’s, they are an incredible piece of kit that for the money are absolutely unrivalled. GLWTS

Jesus, someone buy this so I can stop looking at it. I've lately acquired a Benz Benz head and it's hands down the best class D amp I've ever used. GB are renowned for build quality and audio goodness. It'll knock spots off a Rumble or Ampeg or Mark Bass all day long. Get it bought...

Considering keeping this as another option for gigging now. It is taking up extra space in my study since I got my main rig back, but I have kind of got used to that since putting up the ad.

Now reduced to £175

What’s it like weight wise? Not exactly like, but heavy, medium or light? Is it an easy lift? Or a boat anchor 😆

I'd say medium. I've not weighed it but manual says it's 52lbs.

Bump for this bargain. You could buy this and @theplumber's 1x15 and have yourself a sweet Genz Benz rig for £275!

Now reduced to a Basschat exclusive price of £150!

Blimey what a deal, GB stuff is quality indeed! Someone should snap this up, be brilliant for home use if you’re lucky enough to have a jam room. Good luck x
