Yeah, I don't think it's your basses. You can usually get a good sound out of P basses of any provenance. I'm a little surprised the SansAmp didn't work, but I don't doubt your experience with it.
I have no experience with Genz Benz at all. They certainly have a good reputation, but their gear isn't that widely available, and I've never had the opportunity to play with one. Those Shuttle amps look nice. The Shuttle 6.2 has a tube preamp. I'll bet
that would sound nice direct into a board, especially with all the output capabilities of that little head. Parametric EQ and lots of tone shaping options on the front panel as well.
Hmmmm, tempting.
Actually all the money I made selling off a few things is gone now, partly on my MTD, and then my wife just got a Nord Electro 5. She was due a new board, she's been on the Electro 1 since 2001 or 2002. It's served us well, but it was time for an upgrade. It arrived today, I assume she's at home playing with it now!
