bass guitar no sound

Hey guys! just joined the forum and i'm hoping to learn a lot.

My bass guitar right now has no sound coming out of the amp. When i plug it in and play a string the built-in tuner on the amp recognizes what notes i'm playing, but no sound


Any help will be awesome!


THANKS

The guitar, the chord and the pre-amp stage in the amp are good. The problem is between the preamp and the output stage. Time to take it to a tech.

Did you mute the amp???
The amp normally has a switch. When the tuner is on, the sound is out ...

The bass seems to be okay ...

If a guitar works, the bass should work too???
And if the built in tuner works right, there is a "right" signal from the bass ...

Which amp do you use? Built in tuner can mean Roland, TC and many more ...
