ERROR on GK MB210 combo

Hey there.

I am a bass player from Denmark, and I have just bought the new GK MB210 bass amp, and is very satisfied!!

BUT BUT BUT when using the XLR Direct out connection, the housing of the XLR male connection on the amp, is turned in such
A way, that when you first have connected a xlr female cord, you can not get it out off the amp again, because it is impossible to
Reach the lock on the female XLR cord!!!

You have to use a screwdriver to flip the XLR lock, so the cord can be removed!!

This is clearly a construction error!

I have the same issue with my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0. It's in a weird position. It's not that hard to get to the button but it is annoying.

About 20 people talked about this issue months ago when these first came out. Read the mega-thread on the combos.

There are a few solutions. Get a XLR male to female adapter and put that in your combo. Plug your XLR out direct cable into it. Keep a small screwdriver in your bag. Use the end of a 1/4 inch cable to get it off. Or use another DI out.
