Well it has now happened to me, a Markbass problem.....the amp has been good to me for about 2 1/2 years...I did replace the fan a couple months ago, right after the warranty ran out, that was $100 bucks...parts and labor at an authorized Markbass repair center.
Now the fuse blows, the amp won't even start up...instantly blows. I wonder if its worth it to have it checked, from reading the other threads, it seems they(service repair center) will just replace the entire board for a couple hundred bucks. I love the sound etc...but wonder if I should move on.

This seems to be the problem. Is the amp worth repairing. If you repair it, theoretically you have the equivalent of a brand new amp but the costs will be heading towards the cost of a used one on the open market. You can ONLY have the amp repaired at one of MB's authorized service centres at whatever charge they care to levy.

Please let us know how this all plays out and good luck.

To be honest with you....I think I am done. I am not into having to ship it out "again" for work to be done, plus the fact I may have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to repair it.
I am going to invest that money in a new amp....and a different company.
