Nah I wouldnt use it for carrying, just for protection when its in the back of the new acoustic bands van...which is normally filled with other bits and bobs as well.

If I see one for the original £499 with delivery and gig bag ill probably snap it up.

I noticed the Squier P!

Yep, both can be removed. From personal experience Genz amps are great but the SL series gives me that HEFT that I need as a bassist. The Shuttles are great for the player who wants that tone, and the 9.0 has more beef to the bottom end. If I ever get a small combo, it would be the Ibanez. Total bargain price, and more power should you remove it compare to the 3.0.

Great that for once the cheaper option is better!

It's now off back to S&T to see what they are going to do!

I tried all variables, so now unfortunately its off back to be checked out.

Have you tried the combo without the extension? Might be an idea. Sell the cab if its not getting use.

That bass, and the string spacing, look absolutely massive.

I cant read music at all, well I could a little, and earned a few grades and a GCSE (A Grade somehow!), but now? Nope. I should learn, but I know I have too much else going on.

Where has this thread come from?! Yesterday I swapped my days off and stayed in for a courier and I was relieved when they picked up the parcels for return at 16:45.

Good deal if it is new.

I think in terms of quality the MB will slay the GK gear! I'd stick with it.

We shall find out tomorrow. May just be the earth wire.

Cheers chaps. Im in a better mood now I know the SL900 and RH750 replacements are already on their way from TC/Genz. It was bad weekend discovering 3 faults! The 2EQ Ray should hopefully be a very very simple check over....

Yep, either I'm unlucky or too fussy. But the power supply issue was really dodgy. Tried it again last night hoping I'd made a mistake, but still there. The Shuttle 9 I had did not have a straight chassis. I checked it on every surface in my house and it would not sit straight, so it rocked about all the time. If still like another. Weirdly, the two amps I sold were flawless (lm3 and rh450) so I was annoyed to spend more and have two amps with issues. Fender UK have confirmed my resplacement is on it's way from the US now. Good chaps. So, a box with my 750 and sl900 are on their way back to Bass Merchant for replacements....as well as my 6 month old immaculate 2EQ ray that has a very loud buzz coming from it, (again tried all variables, different power, new battery, compared it to the other basses, 2eq still noisy). All in all a massive annoyance Hopefully in two months I'll have everything sorted out.

The tube emulation in the TC amps totally outweighs the very small single tube in the LM Tube amps. Ive tried the lot, and the RH and Streamliner are the closest it gets, unless you look at Mesa. I don't know how TC have done it, but they have!!!

My luck ran out about 6 months ago then everything started to become hard work! As soon as we got our notice to move house everything has just been hard work. Hopefully the good weather will bring good news.

You arent even going to believe it, because I cant. The mute makes a pop and loud click everytime you engage it. I asked the OP and he hasnt had this, and my 450 never did this. I checked all variables, and even did it without the lead plugged in. Still got a pop everytime. Weird, so that has to be exchanged as well now. Next time Ill just stick to what Ive got, this has been very hard work just to get two working amps.

Yep, and it's good to see Fender helping out.

I have to give credit to Matt at Fender UK who has PM'd me and has reordered a SL900 from Genz already so my replacement should not be too long. Great to see some Genz like service over here.

Have you tried all basses, all leads, all variables like another power source? If this still continues, I would ask for another unit. Its brand new and still covered under the 7 day returns.

Thanks for the advice. If it were second hand obviously I'd fix it, but with it being new I'm going to leave it Genz to sort out and just get a new one.
