Fende Rumble 100W Bass Amp question....

Okay, this happened a while ago, and I just need to know whats up with this. Is the amp supposed to distort? It makes a crackle noise or a "guitar"ish noise when Im playing, what should I do?

I've been using one for about 3 months now, never noticed anything like that, but then again, I'm not totally sure I know what sound it is your amp was making. Does it do this often? If it only happened once, it was probably something you did (bumped/unplugged something) that made the sound, and isn't anything to worry about. Does it do this often?

It does everything, like when Im 75% to 100% volumne, no matter what EQ I do, it always does that in those volumne ranges.

Well, since the Rumble isn't a stellar amp, and you say that you sometimes turn it all the way up, maybe a different amp is what you need. I've always believed that if you need to turn up more then half way, then you need a more powerful set up.

Okay, thanks. I'm gonna sell it, and hopefully get an Acoustic, they sound GREAT.
