I really dont want to come across as a GB hater, im not and i love my SL600 so far, but in the past week ive read of 3 faulty heads and this is making me nervous. I know these things happen but they shouldn't, and its the same old argument, great service means nothing if an amp fails mid gig. lets hope this is the end of it for Gareth, its about time he had some good luck and im really looking forward to using mine at its first gig on Sat.

Musicman20 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Cheers chaps. Im in a better mood now I know the SL900 and RH750 replacements are already on their way from TC/Genz.

No point in you playing the lottery then Hope all sorted soon as nothing worse than new gear failing no matter what it is.

mxm Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 +1 for the big smile after my first gig with 900 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbass Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 perhaps not exactly right on topic but just got the streamliner 600 with a GK Neo 212 and am really happy (so far). If i had 400 pounds extra i would have got it with a GB Uber 2x12 or 4 x10 as it sounded even more amazing than the GK in the shop. However, i didnt so got the Neo cab instead. Still sounds absolutely sweet! I have 4 gigs this week (starting tomorrow) so i will let anyone who wants to know how i rate the gear.
