Members Marko Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 I posted this at a bass amp forum, but I was thinking there are people here who know amps, and might be able to give me some advice. I just bought a GK MB500 bass head from MF used listed as #1 condition for $375 as opposed to new for $500. http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gallien-Krueger-MB500-500W-Ultra-Light-Bass-Amp-Head?sku=423659 Well, it simply doesn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hope you got a warranty. Cost of repair is not trivial generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 In your case, I REALLY suggest returning it. It could cost more to fix than it's worth. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dedmeet Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 Unless there is an obvious and easily-replaceable fuse and that proved to be the cause, then a big +1 to the above comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members badhabit Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Same sorta thing happened to me at Zzounds. I got a bass cab that was being sold as used but usable at $100.00 off. When I got it, I heard parts tumbling around inside. So I pulled a driver to look inside, and the high freq. driver had fallen off and was banging around inside the cab. I could of fixed it I'm sure, but I didn't feel like it. I called and Zzounds said, "Send it back. We'll pay the return shipping." I said cool, but I still need a bass cab. So they sent me another brand new one at the same discount as the first cab, $100.00. And all the shipping was free. Great online vendor, IMO.
