Bill Fitzmaurice Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 [quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1436396245' post='2817909'] 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.

Byo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Interesting, it was a shame to see G-B disappear as they did some great stuff and their customer service was top notch. I will certainly keep an eye out for his new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited July 9, 2015 by CamdenRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andytre Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 i use a shuttle max12.2 and 2x focus 1x12s best rig iv ever had! cant wait to see what new stuff will appear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badass Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Great news! Looking forward to his new generation of gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited July 9, 2015 by Stylon Pilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 This is welcome news. I have two Shuttle 6.0's and have not really needed anything else since. Reliable, sound great, hugely portable...everything else in the same price bracket seems either a copy or inferior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bassman7755 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 The bass array looks interesting, I dont really do the 60's gramophone look though so you can keep the ones on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 OMG look at the handles!!!! Ahem, sorry. Not a fan of the looks myself.
