My amp is not supporting my bass anymore

[Wesley Rameau]

Hi I got my amp since years and recently it's like I'm always playing staccato.

is the problem coming from my bass or my amp, and how should I fix my problem?

Thanks again for the advice.

PS. My amp is a Peavey MAX 126

We're going to need more information to really have any idea what is going on.

well it sounds as if there was too much bass.

What kind of information do you need?

 

[JGbassman]

Kind of bass, amp settings, bass guitar settings, and processing, type of strings,

A sound clip if possible.

Very little to go on but I've heard that sound before: cone is displaced. You've played with an effects pedal, think Octaver did mine in, or just too loud, too hard.
I replaced my speaker, BA115, and that breaking up tone was gone, replaced by a new tight sound. Not the same as the original speaker sounded.

Sounds like a speaker or cone problem. Sound like a good excuse to buy a new amp!

Or a very pretty, shiny new speaker.

EDIT: Just looked what that amp is. It doesn't matter that it says "bass" on it, it's not a proper bass guitar amp. Go buy a real amp.

it might be because I played to hard and loud indeed. I only need to change the cone or a new amp would be better ?

My bass is an ibanez tmb 100 and the problem stay the same no matter the settings on the amp and the bass. It only stops when the volume is near from zero.

Maybe this is the solution indeed haha thanks !!

If an amp isn't supporting his bass she needs to kick him out. Better yet she needs to support herself which gives her a pick of better amps.

Wait! What are we talking about here?

I mean, "Is this loser good for Metal?"

Peavey Max 126 is a 10 watt powerhouse!!

Just think of the posibillitys if you doubled the power and
Doubled the speaker size

10 watts to 20 watts
6inch to 12 inch.

Otherwise could be the amp starting to lose its oompph or the speaker. Hard tell on the internet. Possibly even just wonky input jack, or the headphone jack which usually has a connection for output speaker. All can get corrosion
