Looks like he's back in business soon
[/quote]Only because Fender sold G-B. He would have signed a non-compete clause that kept him out of the business for at least five years when he sold out to Fender, but as that agreement would have been terminated when Fender sold G-B.

This is good news...

I had a ShuttleMax 12.2 for a while and it sounded excellent, had lovely notched dials as well, felt like a well designed and decent quality product so hopefully we'll be seing more of the same soon :)

Great news. Some of my favourite amps are GB amps, and I love their cab designs. I hope someone like Bass Gear or Bass Direct (or both!) are onto this and set up direct distribution. I always wanted a Shuttle 3.0 10T combo and never picked one up in time. I hope something similar comes out!

I sold my Shuttle 9.2 but my Streamliner isn't going anywhere.

I really hope this works out for Jeff, his products are brilliant.

I'm also hoping he does some new small combos - a Streamliner type into a 1x12 with a built in compressor would be perfect for me!

Great amps, hope it works out. Fender absolutely annihilated GB within a few years.... as they did with Ovation, Hamer, Sabian and SWR. I understand GB perhaps will return under new management/ownership and Jeff Genzler (like Dan Lakin before him) apparently is working on some great stuff. Yeah to the small business model and down with corporately run "music" :)

Keep this hush hush, but I'm a moderator at [url="http://reddit.com/r/bass"]reddit.com/r/bass[/url] and I've had contact from his marketing agency about doing an AMA (ask me anything). So start getting your questions ready.

S.P.

Not a fan of the looks myself. More importantly interested to hear BFM's views on the Bass Array cab - it reminds me a bit of some of his designs :)

Doesn't sticking an array of open-back cone tweeters like that in front of another driver mean that you'll get colossal intermodulation distortion through the tweeters and on the reflected sound from the main driver?
