hi guys

major issue: for a while now my peavey TNT 160 bass combo amp has been cutting out, not good for when im playing live. it will kick back in if i slap E string. it starts to happen after about 10 - 15 minutes of continuous playing. i have had a guy look at it he gave it a service and sorted it, however it has started doing it again, about 2 weeks after getting the amp back. and i cant afford £75 every couple of weeks. i love the amp has an amazing sound and don't want to get a new one if i can keep this old gem

does anyone know what this could be and how to over come it

cheers

sam

How could anyone vote for a jazz, jazz, or jazz, when a jazz is obviously the best bass!!

Idk. Sometimes I think a jazz sounds good for certain songs. I don't own one, but I have a friend who lets me borrow his jazz when my band is in the studio, and I just switch my jazz with his jazz. I never really got into a jazz though, but I enjoy a jazz from time to time when eq'd correctly. They aren't my favoriAte, though.

I'm not sure if this thread has a serious topic or if it's just a troll thread. However if the amp has an effects loop, link the send and return jacks with a signal cable. Often the switching contacts get corroded and fail to make a decent contact.

Edit: As I have never owned a Jazz bass I cannot vote in the poll!

Somebody walking past hit their knee on the input cord, cracking one or more solder joints to the printed circuit board. Or the amp fell fell over on it's face that one time. When you slam a hot signal into a failing amp and it suddenly works, this is a clue that a broken solder joint is to blame, and the input jack is always the first suspect.

Your amp needs to be opened up so a tech can re-solder the input jack's connections to the pcb.
Most common failure I've seen over the years.

If you were local I would fix it for free.
