I have just come onboard as an Artist Endorsee with Genzler Amplification, and I’m incredibly excited about working along with Jeff Genzler ‘again’!  I say again, as I used to be a loyal endorsee of his previous legendary company Genz Benz Amplification for many years, so I guess it was only a matter of time before our paths crossed again.  My original Genz Benz gear was a ‘game changer’ for me, as I was looking for a one cab, one amp solution and had never used anything like this before – lightweight, tone for days with unbelievable artist support…..I reach out to Jeff in the US either by phone or email, and even though he is clearly a very busy man he’s right back in touch for his endorsing artists – now that stuff you just can’t buy!

Being a 4×10 man through and through, I’ve had the pleasure over these past nearly 30yrs to own and use many of the industry standard 4×10 cabinets out there such as the Trace Elliot 1048H, Hartke 410TP, Ampeg SVT-410HLF, Aguilar DB410, Markbass 104HF and my trusted Genz Benz 410T-UB.

When I heard that Jeff was releasing a 4×10 as part of his new range under Genzler Amplification you can imagine how excited I was to try one!  Jeff is absolutely renown in this field/industry, so I had no doubts whatsoever that upon trying his brand new Genzler BA410-3 Bass Cabinet, along with his Genzler Magellan 800 Bass Amplifier that I was going to be blown away and guess what…..I really was!  My Genzler BA410-3 Bass Cabinet is unbelievably musical, articulate, so sweet in the highs and commands in the way that it throws and disperses the sound – I’ve actually nicknamed it ‘The Super Cab’.  As for my Genzler Magellan 800 Bass Amplifier, well that can do it all……  I was saying to Jeff that it’s like playing ‘both my old trusty Genz Benz ShuttleMAX 12.2 Bass Amplifier and Genz Benz Streamliner 900 in one amplifier’.  That’s it for me now, my search is well and truly over and it’s time to start enjoying the experience – so I would like to conclude by saying a massive thank you to Jeff and his team for creating such awesome gear for musicians, and taking it up another notch! :O)  If you’re looking at changing your amplification then I cannot recommend this brand highly enough.  Check out Genzler Amplification for yourselves at https://www.genzleramplification.com You will NEVER look back!

One of the bass family – Kevin Procter from the band ‘The Viewers’ along with the rest of the band were aired on Radio St Austell Bay last week and here’s what they had to say:
“The Viewers have had a very busy 12 months, having undergone a change in line up so the band were forced to take some time out to re-group. They’re back with a brand new video and are looking forward to an exciting 2018 with the new members of the band, Mark Watson and Kevin Procter joining the ‘old hands’ and core members Paul Eustice and Dave Stone”.

Kev is another great example of what happens when you stick at your lessons and are determined to achieve your goals – a massive congratulations!  Please check out ‘The Viewers’ latest video in the link below, entitled ‘Over and Out’ along with some press photography:
