Yup, and thanks for guiding my way sir. I'm still just wandering around getting the lay of land and hoping to get to know more of the players. Some great looking rigs shown here as well.

Nice, and welcome!
How do you like the Genzler gear compared to Genz-Benz, did you ever play those?
I have stopped even thinking about buying new amps since I completed my current rig around 2008:
Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0 head with one or both of EA CXL110 and EA CXL112. If the Shuttle ever dies I would love to try a Genzler.
But, as I get older (currently 53 and not in the best shape I've been)... I start wondering if I should replace the 45-pound 112 with one of the modern ultralight cabs. The low end flatness of that cab is just amazing though.

Andy Field , who designed much of the later GenzBenz amps continues to service them. I sent a Streamliner to him to get checked out and now it’s like a brand new amp. I felt it was well worth investing in. It wasn’t expensive. Money well spent.
He is in California though.

I think it was in 2010 or 2012 (age 60 or 62, depending) that my lovely wife gave me a Shuttle 6.0 and a pair of the T12 Shuttle speaker cabs for Christmas. I later swapped the 6.0 for a Shuttle 6.2 because I heard its voicing was a bit deeper, but I'll be darned if I can hear any difference. I sure like the docking amp on the T12 cab.

Although it always interested me I've never owned any Genz-Benz gear. So this is my first experience with Jeff Genzler's amps and cabs but Pilgrim is a friend and a neighbor if you will as we both live in Ft. Collins, CO and he's always been very complimentary of his Shuttle head. The MG350 is perfect for me and I love it's EQ set up with the contour control and the sweep-able mids.
It may actually be the easiest bass amp to EQ I've ever used. I can use the contour control to give me the basic EQ curve I want then just use Bass, Treble, and Mids to fine tune for whatever bass I'm playing. It should also be that easy to EQ for room acoustics but I haven't gigged with it yet. No lack of power either. It puts out more than enough volume for my needs.
Although my Epifani 212 weighs just over 50lbs I live in a second floor unit with no elevator so it would be a bear to haul up and down 22 steps leading to the second floor. It's an incredible cab and sounds great with the BA-110 but I want to cut down on size and weight so the Genzler BA cabs are where I'm headed. I would call them very transparent and uncolored.
That little BA 110 has an amazing range and a full yet tight low end. Once I can add a BA 112 to it I'll be able to use the full 350w output of the head when needed or I can go with a solo cab @ 175w. All of my other more powerful heads and other cabs are gone except that UL2 212 and it's for sale along with a brand the new never used MG350 head I got with the combo. I already had one I'd bought previously.
