Yes. I have had that.
Just got mine a few days ago, and love it. The colors when it turns on just make it hat much better.

Are you sure your pushin the spring loaded button in far enough to engage. If you don't push the button in far enough, the LED will just turn red and go out. The Power button should work fine if pushed in enough to actually engage.

I will try giving it a sturdy push from now on and see how it goes this week during practices.
I tripped on that a couple times also. It does take a solid press and hold for a split second to actually engage and turn the power on.
It's 7:59 p.m. Mountain Time, I'm going through Talkbass threads sulking because I didn't make a perfect score on my mid-term this evening, and suddenly there's a knock on the door. It's UPS with my replacement MB2-500. So, now I've gone from an A01 to an A02 to an A00! Oh well, the young people are rehearsing tomorrow night so that will be the first time I get to pump the $$ through the G-K. We already love how the $$ sounds through the LG1000 so tomorrow's test will set the tone for this relationship, all puns intended.

consciously making an effort to give it a firm push has worked out so far... guess i was babying it too much :scowl:
Well, played the $$ through the refurbished head tonight, it was all good. Maybe three time's the charm, gonna give it a real workout Saturday and Sunday.
Hey i would like to try this head but cant seem to find proper info on the site can anyone give me a little introduction to it?
I know its been disscoused but 1200 answers is just to much to read them all!

Yeah, he still hasn't integrated it into the product info on the site yet, but the manual pdf is posted, and it's got probably everything you wanna' know. Download it from this page...

Look for "MB2 500" in the drop down list.
The short answer is, it's a 500W into 4 ohms (min) class-D ultra light and ultra small/portable bass head.
Enjoy.

Price range? the european dealer hasnt got them on its catalogue.
Oh! BTW thx.
Did my research, it seems to be on the same range of the 700rbII do, so 566 is my guess.
The A/C input seems to be area restricted...

I think the street price here in the US is about 600 USD unless it's on sale, scratch/dent, or some other kind of promotional special.
Does anyone know about a fourth revision? There's one in the classifieds with an A04 number.
Thanks, Alan
Thanks, Alan
There is one single jumper inside, and its marked for 220V, so VERY simple to mod for EU power. I just sold my one month old, 220V-modded MB2 to a delighted bass-player in Germany for less than 400 Euro.
Holy sheeeeeez, at 1.7 kg i might get it sent to me! from there
EDIT: just went to do the conversion on a new one, 600$ its like 460€ + shipping and taxes its going to be like 540€ i prefer to spend the extra money here and get the warranty
As current owner / seller of said unit, I had no clue at first what A04 referred to but now I think I figured it out. You can now take the feet off. Explains why packing slip refers to 'new chassis'
My prototypes for diechris are being laser cut now... I'll let everyone know when and if they work.
