Try a different cable and fill in your profile so we know what equipment you have. It helps.

Is your bass active? If it is start by replacing the battery. Check cables by swapping them out. Maybe it's the amp. Who knows-it could be anything. Nobody has a clue about what equipment you're using.

Try plugging something else into the amp to isolate the problem.

I'd bet a buck it's a dirty or bent jack.
