I suspect it's the voltage that has fried it...iv made some enquiries in the Midlands this afternoon and no one willing to touch it as they don't have much experience with GB.....I wish i knew what happened! I used to have a Ampeg PF500 so well aware of the voltage situation. Looks like i'm on the scrounge in the meantime!

No power or lights, suspect it's the voltage scenario. Looks like I'm going acoustic...

I think they have some kind of internal fuse thing relative to the power system it uses - which is unique, apparently..but yes, i think it may be the fuse. Basically...do not touch! I should just have stuck to an acoustic bass...

Yeah it's all working for other things....the skies are beginning to darken...

Hello all, I know there are a few Genz threads running but haven't seen one regarding the amp not powering up. It has come to me by way of trade for other things and after initially playing it to test, getting it home to play for about 5 minutes, it will now not power on. Have changed the power lead for one i know works but still nothing... Not had this issue before myself with any other heads so unsure if it has just...expired... Any ideas...? Thanks.

Thanks for all the advice! Been looking at the positions etc again this evening, will take all comments and advice on board. Only other way i can describe it, is to say the back of the neck feels almost flat compared to my JPN jazz. Only time will tell!

I seem to end up with a kind of cramp in my hand and in my arm - it does not feel that different to my other jazz, i can't understand it! I like it too much to think about moving it on until i have tried every other option known to man...

Hello, Is any else having any issues with the neck on a Fender jazz road worn? Or more specifically, what happens to your left arm & hand when playing one?! I managed to get a great deal on a Fiesta red road worn jazz bass, have been playing a Japanese jazz bass for a few years. Played the road worn live a few times now and my hand and arm are struggling! I know its a 'C' neck and i am just wondering if my Japanese has a modern 'C' that is making things easier or is it my imagination?! I have tried to adjust my strap and position when playing it but its no heavier or anything like that... Any insight would be much appreciated should someone have some. Thanks.
