Svt300 distorts only on the e string

So I’ve been playing this thing the same as I always have an it appears I’ve woken up to a situation where the e string distorts in an ugly way. Played multiple basses through it and same thing with all of them. Since it’s a cl I run the master at full blast the gain at 8:00 and the volume on the bass is usually very low, I try to shoot for equal to the gain usually, so if the gain is at 8 the bass is only 1/3 or 1/4 of the way turned up.

not sure how this would cause the sound to get wacky like this? Could it be something simple like biasing?


It’s in an 810 cabinet if that helps any

haven’t serviced it ever, and only had it for a year
