After getting some serious GAS from the MarkBass combo, I made the choice to get a lightweight bass amp to replace my Line6 X3 Live - Power Amp - Ampeg 4x10 rig. Thanks to a recommend from NWBasser (thanks!), I checked out the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0. I was blown away.

The local store had some in stock for a while and made me a great deal - $600!

I plan on using the amp not just for bass, but for my acsoutic gigs as well. The shocker was how great an acoustic guitar sounds through the amp. I was thinking I would have ot use the effects return for that use.

Loud, light, and great tone. This one is a winner. thanks again NWBasser!!

Get a small efficient epiphany or schroeder cab and your bass will be the heaviest thing you carry into the gig! :eek:

Congrats and enjoy it Darth!

Now, I've got to try the acoustic through it.

I'm still really amped about the tone of this little box.
