Just got a GB Shuttle 6.0
« on: December 10, 2009, 10:48:23 PM »
I just got a great deal on a GB Shuttle 6.0 that I just couldn't pass up.. I was going to get another cab for my SWR/1212L setup.. but when this came along I too the money I had been saving for that and got the GB.. all I can say is wow... what a great little amp... it does everything that my SWR does.. except for some of the electronics.. and it only has speakeron connectors... but I like it a lot and it is more in line with what I was wanting to begin with. I hope that I can sell that brand new SWR though  :-X... but the GB is a great amp.. I am still amazed at how light it is....

I am really impressed with it's sound.. very clean... not too complex... just enough functionality and umph to make my day. The 3.7 lbs is great too.

Genz's Shuttle series is serious.....I just reluctantly sold my 6.0 and bought a 9.0.  Def a good move!  The 9.0 seems to have more lows and a bit more warmth than the 6.0 but it could just be the additional headroom playing tricks on my ears.  Either way, I like what I hear and couldn't be happier.

+1 Welcome to the club. I love my 6.0. Lightweight, good power, great sound combined with my Avatars (especially the 4 ohm cabs) @Bullitt, how much did you get for the 6.0. I'm thinking about making the same move when I get some extra $$.

I just did a search using my local craigslist.

Yep couldn't find a single shuttle for sale :( oh well I guess that goes to show you how much people love their shuttles.

There's a guy selling a 6.0 for less than $500 on Talkbass. Search out 'Canine Cancer Sale'.

Wow, that's a great price considering they go for $699 new! I'm a micro amp junkie now. Just copped a Markbass LMIII and I have my eye on the Ibanez Promethian and GK MB2500. I may be selling or trading my Shuttle 3.0.

I hope to buy me one for christmas in 2010 ... so Keep me in mind DW if you plan on selling it around this time next year. (I'm trying to save to build my house)

I was hesitant about making the move at first but I don't regret it one bit.  PM'd you on the pricing question.

This isn't fair!
This is like waving a piece of chocolate cake in front of an morbidly obese person who is trying their hardest to lose weight.

I'm interested but I have to pass on it

This is one thing I don't really like about marriage........

I know you're probably kidding, ph, but marriage and bass gear can peacefully coexist. You probably have to buy her something first though... ::)

Somethings to beware of Re Shuttle amps

Shuttles require CLEAN power. On a few occasions, my amp didn't make a sound. I found out later that there was nothing wrong with the amp. If it is not  getting  enough clean power, it  won't make a sound. Inadequate voltage can be a problem. Check out this link. Scroll down to Agedhorses long link. It explains it.

I just crossed the grand oasis to "Shuttledom" myself. I traded my GK 1001 RB II for a GB Shuttle Max 12. I'm lovin' how light it is in comparison to the GK, total power and the awesome tones I can get from it. Now to get a lighter cab. Avatar here I come! 8)
