Picked it up today! So it's in perfect condition. Bridge, tuners, and tailpiece are all from Upton Bass Co. I'm super happy with it!

Found a Shen SB-80 local for $700. Great shape, with an upgraded bridge. Is this a good price? Also, currently I have a Cremona SB-2. Is the Shen a nicer instrument? Thanks!

So just a quick update for those who happen to stumble upon this thread with the same issue. In my last reply to this thread, I concluded that the issue was related to an electrical issue in my home, because I could not reproduce the issue in another building. Since then, I took the setup to 2...

I took your advice and took the setup to another house and the noise is gone! So it seems that it has something to do with the way my house is wired. Looks like I'll be hiring an electrician! Any advice on specific wiring issues that would be causing this that I could suggest they look for?

Right. Computer on one circuit, amp on another(different room), cab plugged into amp. No other interfaces plugged into computer. No bass or cable plugged into amp.

Thanks for the reply! So there is no connection between the amp and the computer. And there is no bass plugged into the amp. I also tried taking the amp into a different room (which is on a different breaker) and the noise is still there whenever the computer is on, and it goes away when the...

Not sure how to edit my original post! But I tried plugging a different amp into the same circuit, with the same result. Seems as if this makes the computer unusable for studio purposes.

Tried that already! At first, I was under the impression that it was some sort of wireless signal interference, but moving it didn’t make any difference. I also tried unplugging the battery backup from the wall, allowing the Mac to run off of battery (to take it off of the circuit) and the noise...

Hey everyone! Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post this. So I recently purchased a new iMac, and it works great. But, it seems that having this new computer plugged into the same circuit as my PF-50T is causing the amp to pick up some sort of interference from the computer. I took a video...

Just a quick update. Sweetwater sent me a replacement, but it has a loud hum as well :/

My first PF50T b stock from sweetwater had a loud hum, so they sent me another. With the same hum. This is pretty frustrating!

But golly gee, this rig sounds KILLER. Even with just the 2x10, it is plenty loud for what I need.

Will Do. The service guy didn’t seem to be aware of the issue; I had to point him to the humbuster thread.

So I got the amp today! It hums pretty badly. Sweetwater is sending another one out!

They are banana plugs!
