"Nothing else compares"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This Genz Benz Contour 500 with 1-15" is one hard ass-kicking mother. Pre-amp section is the wildest thing I've ever encountered. Makes my bass sound like an entirely new instrument, giving me a certain freedom I haven't experienced in years. The EQ section sets any tone there is to be had on Earth. I like a growl. Man, does thing thing growl! It can also cut like a knife. The mid ranges are so adjustable. Power to spare, lightweight, excellent sounding ... what else would one want in a combo bass amp? It is the ultimate solution.
