Members xbassman Posted December 1, 2007 Members Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hey guys I have a quick question for you. I just purchased a (new old stock) Genz Benz GBE400. It has only one problem.The led's on the right hand side for power, signal, thermal, etc. aren't connected to the faceplate. I can see them inside the head looking through the holes and they seem to be working fine. Is this something that I can pop the top off and just attach them to the faceplate myself? I hate to send in a 30lb head for something this small! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hasbeen Posted December 1, 2007 Members Share Posted December 1, 2007 I can not advise anybody to take the top off our amp. There are "no user serviceable parts" inside because of obvious liability reasons. If I told somebody to open their amp up, and they touched the wrong thing with a screwdriver, while they were naked, and they had their big toe in a bucket of water.......well, you know. What I have done, and don't try this at home, is to take the top off, re-apply some silicon to the light bar, and press it back into place. When doing this, I have resisted the strong urge to touch my tongue to a large cap to see what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xbassman Posted December 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2007 LOL! Thanks dude! That's kinda what I figured..... I have pulled apart a couple of PC power supplies so I know what not to touch. Gotta do it later though... If my daughter sees it, she will have Christmas all figured out!

Members xbassman Posted December 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2007 Well, no actually it is for me. If she sees it though, she'll know that my GK 400RB will be going to her. (I also bought her a Dr Bass 112 Neo cab) If I bought her a Genz it would have to be the Neo Pack. Heck the GBE400 is only a few pounds lighter than her cab! I loved the tones I was getting with it while I had it out of the box though. It is gonna be hard hiding it for almost a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted December 2, 2007 Members Share Posted December 2, 2007 Every time Roger visits the R&D lab, we have to dress him in safety clothes and make him keep his hands in his pockets. He can't resist touching shiny things Actually, I really wanted to toss a charged capacitor for him to catch. I think I can run faster then he can.
