Where to get Genz Benz Streamliner LEDs from now?

[jimbobothy]

Hey folks,

My Streamliner 900 has now displayed the common fault of the internal LEDs going on the blink. I emailed the shop I bought it from and they said as Fender have discontinued them (I did know this) that they could not help out.

Does anyone know where to go about getting replacement please?

Cheers.

Hey Jim, if you have a Talkbass account you can message Agedhorse (andy) and he'll be able to help you out if you ask nicely. He's sent me two sets now (the latest set are on their way as we speak).

Don't throw the old ones away as it'll only be one that is faulty so if you keep them you'll have two spares.

Hey, cheers mrtcat, I've just read an old thread from TB and seen his comments on the issue. Seems like a good sort of chap, I'll PM him now!! Thanks again.

When I spoke to him he put me in touch with the Fender Uk service centre, give them a call they are really helpful guys!
They had my amp back to me within the week.

Yep, Andy sent me a set of LEDs recently - they (the originals) were all blown, and there was a dry joint in a related resistor: he sent me a circuit diagram which helped diagnose this, too. Top chap.

The LED's I had sent to me from the Fender Warranty folk were from RS - part of the label was still on the bag. They are also a different shade of blue to the originals.
