Genz-Benz

Back problems and other body aches and pains are the result of lugging heavy gear, with bassists having to tug along their heavy bass guitars with equally or exceedingly heavier amps for far greater power. The Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 saves your joints from deterioration with its compact package that can belt out 900 watts of power.  

Seems like the Winter NAMM rumor-mill starts earlier and earlier every year, doesn't it? Already there's murmurs on ye olde web threads about a 1200-watt Genz-Benz Shuttle head that weighs under 7 lbs. Who would start a nasty rumor like that, I ask you?  

The Genz-Benz NEOX-212T Bass Cabinet is a somewhat odd beast for bass. In this video, Owen O'Malley gives it a test-drive and explains the logic behind some of its odder traits.  

Sam Bevan, like most of the players in Aram Danesh And The Superhuman Crew, is a long-time multi-genre musician from the San Francisco Bay area. He talks a little about bass gear and pedals.  

Q: Did you hear the one about the bassist with the removable head?

A: Neither did his body!
