Crackle and pop noises fom my AMP?????

[brian699600]

I have a Fender Rumble100 combo bass amp, and recently the AMP makes crackle noises when i move around. the sound seems to get even worse when the tone knob is turned up on my bass.

What could the problem be, and how can i fix this?


p.s. i dont have alot of money, so i need a cheap way to repair this.

If your house is very dry, this could be static electricity. I find this to be more prevalent in the winter months, particularly with an active bass, such as my Marcus Miller J-bass.

are you sure its the amp? sounds like it could be the bass

i dont think its that because this happens everywhere i play, at home, practice, and it has even happened at shows.

Have you tried a different guitar cable?

Are any of your bass' or amp's jack retaining nuts loose?

Is there another amp (at a nearby music store perhaps) that you could test your bass with?
