GK MB 500 - defect

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello Personal,

I bought a GK MB 500, and the chave/botão, that works the boost/master B (picture encloses), it is with defect, I will have to change her. The problem is that here in Brazil, now, in the authorized ones they don't have the piece (picture) for replacement and they told me that you/they don't know when they will have the piece.
He/she would like to know somebody could help myself to get that piece as soon as possible, his/her model is "S3."
Thank you

You need to call Gallien Krueger and speak to them about this.

Yes you do! If you try to replace this part yourself you will void your warranty.

The representative here in Brazil he/she doesn't have the piece in stock and for us to make the request will arrive only in 2012. I already entered in contact in GK oh in the USA. Now I will await his/her answer. Otherwise I don't know what to do.

Yeah, great customer service. Of course, my 800RB seems determined to never let me experience said service first hand.....

Do what I did. . .get tangled up in your instrument cable and fall down, ripping it from the 800RB. That should be enough to liberate the nut from the input jack, and if your experience is anything like mine, you'll have to wait minutes for a reply to your e-mail request for a new nut, and a couple of days to have 2 free replacements and some stickers.

FWIW, the level of support demonstrated in this thread was the tipping point in my decision this week to try a GK MB500. I don't anticipate needing anything anytime soon but it sure is comforting to know that it's available if I ever do. Well done.

Really,

Brian Clark of GK is being very kind with me.
That with certainty makes the difference to acquire an equipment. We can be calm that we will have attendance, same not being of the same country, that is fantastic. Now I am calmer. I am only awaited to arrive the piece soon to make the repair. rsrsrsrsr.

CONGRATULATIONS and forced to Brian Clark and the team GK.
