Guest McBass Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Anyone had issues with EBS build quality? My Neo 410s had to have new plastic corners fitted, as the others had cracked. My Neogorm 210 had a broken handle spring when it was delivered, and now all the castors on the bottom have become loose and have basically fallen off.

Lynottfan Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 None here, found it to be some the very best around, far superior to me old crashdown that was a total crock, as they are imho. My gear was going in and out the van three or fours days a week to, so EBS very good quality there. I did have a problems with a markbass cab I had for a while, which really surprised me as their gear is usually top notch to, sorry to hear aboput your issues mate, still under any warranty?

Guest McBass Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 No, the combo only get's used once every three months or so. It's just over 2 years old, so no warranty. The Neo 410s were roadcased, i really do look after my gear. I also forgot to mention the crosstalk on my TD650. Maybe i've been unlucky....!

EBS_freak Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Crosstalk? Broken cab corners? Broken handle spring? Man, you seem very unlucky. Touch wood, I've had none of those problems - and my gear is out and about all the time. I've only had one issue on my TD650 - which was an earthing problem causing cracking through the speakers. Easy remedy, the board had become loose - a quick tighten of the screws and a dab of silicon over the screw and I was good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at trade price the gear cost a bloody fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Never had a single issue with a piece of EBS kit. All my cabs have been shoved around in vans and in and out of venues and never broken a corner. I have found the EBS support really good, give them a shout and explain, sure they will ship you some new bits probably free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'll never use EBS gear again after my GORM combo crapped out & both EBS & the UK supplier refused to have anything to do with it even though it was still under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest McBass Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) I emailed them and sent Bo Engberg a private message too, hopefully they'll sort it out. EBS Freak cheers man, they sent a complete set for my 2 cabs. Edited May 7, 2013 by McBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenBasses Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Rock solid build quality here as well.. The anti scuff anti scratch coating on the cabs is still standing up to odd attack from my kitties now and again. My fafner amp had a few crackly pots after not being used for about 6 months... A quick spray with some contact cleaner on the pots sorted that out. But even with top notch build quality and qc there can always be a bad one. EBS guys are very helpful so maybe fling an email there way if you haven't already done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
