Genz-Benz Bass Amplifiers

I bought this amp brand new from the Bass Palace in Scranton, PA for $780 USD including the rack sleeve for portability. I was told by a couple of others in the biz that this is "the one". So currently being the owner of an Aguilar DB-750, and in the market for a good quality backup, I had to hear for myself. Not gonna sugar coat it....... Killer Tone, Tons of Volume, Amazing Versatility, Decent Weight. What was originally purchased as a backup has now become my main amp. Its not as loud as the Aguilar 750, but if Genz Benz came out with a 1000 watt version of the GBE600, it would be the Ultimate! If you can't get a great tone out of this amp, STOP PLAYING! You can tell this amp was designed by a bass player. Customer Service A++++!! The amp took a nasty crash out of the van. A fall that would have proved fatal to ANY AMP! After replacing the preamp tube, I was curious as to whether it still worked. I switched it on and it literally burst into flames! I called Genz Benz, sent it to them (med rare) to rebuild, got it back in 2 weeks totally rebuilt and fixed it under warranty!!! I did not expect that and maybe the letter I enclosed professing my love for the amp touched their hearts. But even if it wasn't covered, the overall experience of the repair was very pleasant. I literally can't think of anything I don't like nor think of anything anybody else wouldn't like about it. They thought of everything! Although manufactured in Taiwan, the construction and quality is second to none. Even though it was rebuilt once, it was at no fault to Genz Benz whatsoever. NO AMP WOULD HAVE SURVIVED THAT CRASH! The power rating they give it is VERY CONSERVATIVE.... Please consider adding this amp to your "gotta try it out" list and compare it to any amp in any price point. I think you would feel the same way I do... I wish I could give it a 10... This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I wanted a bass amp with punch and yet I did not want to be hauling heads and boxes. So a quality Combo was aim. I looked at TE, SWR and a few others ant they are expensive. I saw the Genz Benz on line but could not fine one to try. I was going to buy one from the net. I live in a small town of Placerville the odds of finding one there are so slim. I prayed for and played ML-200-115T and just 15 miles away I bought it. I paid $425. 8 month old. It was like new. It has 3Ps Power punch and performance. This has most all the goodies you want except noise gate. If it had that I would pay extra for it. The funky rubber handle on top of the cabinet instead of 2 spring loaded handle on each side that I will install later. It is hard to carry with one center handle. They must not had ever picked it up.
