Did you check the battery on the bass ?? If the battery is going bad,
it will exhibit the same symptoms as you described.

| Did you try another bass with it? Troubleshoot one thing at a time.
Active p/u's can be a pain like this... right Bill? ;^) Try an
old guitar using old technology pickups... passive I think they call
them ;^) and see what happens. Good luck cause I really don't think
it's the amp (I'm hopeful ya know?)

| I did change the battery the day I used the amp and it was supposedly
a new one - there's an led to show actives are on and this was brighter
with the new battery in.I will try the other one again to make sure
as it's a heavy duty.
I did try a passive guitar,not a bass though,and this still had
distortion - so I still think it is something in the amp - though to be
completley happy I will have to get a loan of a passive bass,even
though I can switch off the actives on mine,to run for a good hour to
see it's definatley not the guitar as I said this was the first time I
had use it in anger.

| 2116.4 | tubes or solid state | ROCKER::KNOX | either light up or leave me alone | Thu Feb 21 1991 10:35 | 10 |
| Stuart, is this bass head solid state or tubes ??
If it's solid state, I'd take it to a reputable electronics repair
shop. If it's tubes, check them out as a possible cause.
RE: .2
Hey Fred , How do you like that bass ?? Did you fix the neck up ??
