tc electronic rh450 bass head.

im having a problem with my bass head cutting out sometimes when im playing it will be fine for a while then all of sudden i hit a note on my jazz bass and no sound its crazy.any body had this problem. and how did you resolve it Cheers JOE.
 
Agreed with Fisheadjoe, a cable with an intermittent short, or possibly a bit of wire debris inside the cabinet may be momentarily shorting out across a jack or speaker terminal. It sounds like your amp is going into "self protection" for a second when the short-circuit occurs in the output wiring.

Is the amp running hot at all ?
 
This is probably a silly response, but I have noticed that the input on mine, came be a little finicky. I mean that inserting my cable into the input of the amp, sometimes I think it is in all the way, only to find that it's not. Intermittent connection.
Again, probably a silly response.
