GAS = Gear acquisition syndrome I thought I was set, I thought I has over needing new gear. That was until I saw this BEAST. SS and Tube preamps, 2x600 watts at 4 ohms (not bridgeable but no big deal) the preamps are footswitchable. The kicker, IT WEIGHS 6.75 POUNDS !!!! www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2393&sid=610&cid=95Anyone ever play thru any Genz Benz gear ? I used to think it was crap, but I dont know why. |

I use a shuttle 6.0; 600 watts into 4 ohms, tube preamp, four pounds, and I think it's a miracle.
The thing that sold me on it was the voltage switch. I can use this anywhere in the world and it fits in the pocket of my bass bag.

Thats great Do you find it has lots of headroom on its own ? Or do you have to rely on PA support? Whats the largest gig you have played with the 6.0 all by itself ? What cab were you using ? whew, is that enough questions for you  I currently play with BBE Bmax pre going into a Mackie 1400i. I have plenty of headroom just using half the amp. the Mackie is at 500w at 4ohms. I just drag another cab along at big gigs and use the other half. If the 6.0 is a true 600w at 4 ohms, that would be enough. I could just haul my heavy crap for the occasional outside gig where I would need more oomph. Thanks for the feedback. The 6.0 looks like the ticket if it can take it by itself  |

I've never had an issue with headroom with the Shuttle. For most gigs I use a Bergantino HT-322 (two 10's and a 12) with it, but for smaller rooms I use an Avatar 2x10 Neo 4 ohm. It's as loud as I ever need it to be.
I love it.

I think Im sold Im so sick of lugging my heavy junk around. I took a chance on a light avatar 4x10 cab, and I love it. Im going to take a chance on this as well. I just might ecomically stimulate myself into some new gear Thanks for all the information, its nice to hear that its not just good on paper. |

If you're looking at the GB Shuttle, you might want to also check out the Carvin BX500. It is under 6 lbs., 500W at 4ohms, has scoop and contour ability, and 2 EQ sections (use one with a foot switch while playing). And, it sells for about $400 right now at the local Carvin store.

I finally sucked it up and bought a shuttle 6.0 - I have a gig with it on Sunday and I will report back then |
