Fair enough...I am new to this board. I don't know the history of it like you and a few others. My intentions are honest. Just trying to keep things open, real, legit, and keep those w/ a vested interest in this particular head up to date. Wasn't looking for a reason or excuse to get into a...

Let me put all your paranoid concerns to rest Heavy and anyone else who thinks I'm 'suspicious'. It's actually laughable to me, but whatever. I don't work for any manufacturer or store. I'm a full time musician, mainly guitarist/vocalist. I happen to have picked up a gig playing bass. I needed...

@ Rovito- I purchased an A05 MB2 and had problems right away. Returned it for a new A06. Problems right away. GK wanted me to send them the heads to look at. I don't have 2 amps and they didn't offer to send me anything in the meantime. Can't go without an amp and don't see why I should send a...

@ Heavy Duty- Uh...yeah...I am very well aware. I've been 100% critical bc the only experiences I've had were terrible and I was led to believe that this was generally..99%....a reliable amp by GK and it wasn't. You expect me to be anything other than critical?? Choosing to ignore the fact that...

I can only say this for certain. Regardless of the actual % of these amps with problems...Based upon my personal experiences and from what I have read from others here, I can only conclude there are flaws in the design and the ones who have working MB2's are lucky. Having given an A05 and an A06...

Well...I'm doubtful that public opinion of these is nearly as strong almost 8 months later and still all these unresolved and unaddressed problems. Plus...I am merely stating the facts, my experience, and my opinion which I am entitled to. Esp considering what I went through. I damn near lost my...

Notice how lately there have been no replies or posts from any GK people on here? As a former retailer for many years..I can tell you that good, trustworthy manufacturers have proactive employees that constantly monitor boards like this one and are on top of CS and making sure people don't lose...

I'm telling you man...GK is NOT being forthcoming and honest IMO. Only 1% of these MB2's are having power problems according to Brian. Hmm...I guess all 1% just happen to know about Talkbass and use it. Oh..AND...I guess I just happened to get 2 heads in that 1%. Yeah...the odds of that are...

Vic- you guessed correctly. I'm using a GK provided, heavy gauge, Speakon cable...and have used a heavy duty, brand new 1/4" speaker cable as well. Happened using both. With the A05....I used a GK GLX 8x10 on a gig and it happened! That's a 4ohm 800w cab! I have an E. Ball Sterling bass...subtle...

Well....I was patient and trusting and I got screwed. The A05 had major power issues...random shutdowns. And I trusted what Brian @ GK told me...that these have been very reliable amps and that only 1% of the amps have had the problem I've been having. SO...I ordered a new one and returned the...

stay away....i've had two....both have issues. I'm done with this amp.

Had two of these and Brian @ GK told me the random shutting down prob was around 1% of the heads.....well....guess what? Picked up the second head yesterday, brand new, sealed in box A06 serial #...newest revision and first set of the gig and all throughout....randomly shuts down and powers back...

I've had two of these heads....and I'm done with them. I use a GK NEO 4x10 8ohm 800w cab and both heads have consistently, randomly shut down and powered back on on gigs. I am confident there is something seriously wrong with the design of these. I'm taking the second one back today and getting...

Below is the exact copy of my email from Brian @ GK. I got a floor model from GC and have a new in box MB2 coming as a replacement. I'm going to give it a shot solely based on Brian's word that aside from a small percentage...these amps are reliable. If the new one has problems too....then I'm...

Last night was my #4 gig with an A05. And as with the previous gigs....the amp shut down several times causing VERY ANNOYING, VERY NOTICEABLE dropouts!!! I just joined the band and I'm getting all kinds of looks from the guys at these gigs and I'm fed up with this crap. It's totally unacceptable...
