    GK MB112-2 Red light power on, no blue light, no sound

    Ok I did a few ohm checks that the GK tech in stockton told me to do, he was super nice and very helpful. He believes he ruled out the pre amp board and told me he is pretty certain the power board is what got shot. I am ordering one now, GK really does have amazing customer service and their...

    GK MB112-2 Red light power on, no blue light, no sound

    Just spoke to GK directly and I explained the situation, the Tech was really nice and gave me some good advice. He said that most likely the problem is with the ICE power board. I was able to get some of the residue off the board and when I powered it back on the light turned blue for a few...

    GK MB112-2 Red light power on, no blue light, no sound

    I took the amp head off and tested the speaker and it is showing 4 ohms resistance, thats good. I tried googling the part number for the preamp module (which is where the soda spilled) which is 206-0590-D, can't find this part anywhere! The only part available is the power amp module from here...

    GK MB112-2 Red light power on, no blue light, no sound

    Found this online. Power Switch: Turns the amplifier on and off. In the on position, the ring surrounding the button will light red during power up then changes to blue, indicating the amp is ready for normal operation. Should the amp experience a fault (over heat or over current) the amp will...

    GK MB112-2 Red light power on, no blue light, no sound

    I dont want to start replacing parts unless I know exactly what the problem is, if it's a part to begin with. If it detected a fault, is there any way to know how to retrieve information from the unit as to what the fault is? Is it that smart? Do they make code readers for these thing? lol

    New black bridge for Ibanez SR405QM

    I actually don't like the cosmo black, it's too chrome-y for me. I want the black that hipshot offers, anodized. I would paint but I forsee it chipping. I wouldnt know what paint to use either, this SR bridge looks nickel plated.

    New black bridge for Ibanez SR405QM

    Thanks guys, I will contact them and do some more research. But it is looking more and more like I will have to do some fab work :( I really like this bass, I just want a black bridge that fits it and sounds good.

    New black bridge for Ibanez SR405QM

    Thank you for the tips. I have a good amount of hands on experience with tools but I have never installed a bridge before the way you are describing, is there some type of guide or basic how-to on how to glue and dowel? What I am most afraid of is, will the new bridge sit in the pocket exactly...

    New black bridge for Ibanez SR405QM

    Thanks for the reply, mine isnt bent, I just want to upgrade to a new black bridge as I am blacking out my bass and I also want to try out some new sounds. It is a good stock bridge though, just looking to upgrade. This is the bridge I was looking at, I am not sure if it will work with my...

    New black bridge for Ibanez SR405QM

    Hello, I apologize if this has been answered before, I can't seem to find the answer. I want to buy a new black bridge for my 5 string Ibanez, model SR405QM. I like the hipshot bridges a lot but I don't know which one is compatible with my bass. Is there a compatibility chart somewhere...

    I think I got the two notes that are played throughout the beginning, still working on middle part.

    Massive Attack - Mezzanine, can it be played on the bass?

    I am pretty sure the bass is synthesized in this song. But after hearing it, I feel that it can be physically played. this may be a stupid question but I had to ask.
