askrere...A lot of people have been complaining about how those MBE and NEO cabs don't have adequate bracing and no insulation. That might be the issue, but I would contact GK about it. At least get it on record, in case it's a warranty issue. I'm pretty sure GK added more bracing to the new models (whatever has "II" at the end of it), but still no stuffing. I've played GK amps for a long time and never used GK cabs though.

I emailed gk before I ordered the cabs and they assured me they version II were only cosmetically different (non aluminum grill). But people said a wal Matt matress toppers and a few bits of wood, to fix it up and i just so happen to have one I Used on my dorm bed. But I will send in my warranty cards and email them.


Ha it's funny hands down favorite Beatles song ever is "I'm Only Sleeping"

Very much agree, best song.
 
I watched that video and wanted to riot! it was sooooooo stupendously badly directed/acted/choreographed/propped/everything that I was offended to have been subjected to it and wanted to storm a film studio and burn Marky Mark in effigy.
 
it did look like a bad snl skit...so bad I expected to have Mohammed turn out to be toonces the driving cat at the end... and so bad mark Wahlberg mustve been in it with a fake beard somewhere.
 
And speaking of books anyone reading anything good? I'm rereading No Country For Old Men and going to start Nausea when I finish that.
Awesome book. Have you read Blood Meridian?
I'm into book 2 of the Dark Tower
Dark Tower!!!! My dad read me the first 2 books as bed time stories when I was a boy(I`m 31 now). I named my dog Roland when I was 11. I freaking love Steven King and that series in particular. I can`t reccomend it enough to people. It`s about as doom as a book can get. I mean it`s got a fvcking evil wizard in it,c`mon!!
The muhammad bashing video that the group misinterpreted and thought everyone in america watched? Then killed the Libyan ambassador?

I just saw this. What happened?

Always send in your warranty cards, better safe than sorry. I would just tell them the issue and see what they say. Don't crack them open first or mention anything about that. I know people on TB say that improves them (might have NOTHING to do with your issue), but they don't handle warranty service for GK. You never know, the manufacturer might know it's a particular problem right off the bat and help you fix or exchange them straight away. If not, you've still got the cheap mattress top solution ready to go.

I deal with warranty issues at my work all the time and people are their own worst enemy in that regard. I have a customer who was complaining about having to pay cost (with no shipping or install charges) to change out a window sash that rotted from water infiltration, because it was 2 years past warranty. They first noticed the problem over 5 YEARS AGO. I had to tell them if they had just said something before 2 years and 1 month ago, I could have given it to them for free. That kind of thing happens all the time and those are people that don't have to fill out any warranty paperwork or register anything, all they had to do was make a local phone call.
