WHY ME!?!?!?!?!

Did you check to see if the bridge mono switch had been put into bridge mode? I just bought one these last week and I am floored by it. I used it at my gig over the weekend and had no problems with it. Maybe you just got a bad unit. If so bring it back to where you got it and get a new one.
Hey, your young and inexperienced. Things like this happen all the time, more often today because the low quality out sourcing of labor/parts to China. And it's just not amps/cabs that have problems.
I suggest next time you buy some equipment, log to TB before you buy it and get some opinions.
My mom bought me my first bass (Memphis P-Bass copy, 3-color burst w/ Maple and Tort p'guard), when I was doing my dangdest to get failed out of a prep school. I think she saw that the standard procedure was just not working for me, and she knew I had a musical disposition. Saved me, it did. Gave me something I could live to do! Yay Mom!
Good luck with the amp.

Ok, so I took it into my local music store, they plugged it in with their own cables, and bass, and it worked fine!
SO.. Its either my bass or cables, I have a speakon coming and I think I'm just going to get new pots and a new input

That was my guess ... Bass input jack or cables.
Either way, its an easy fix and you will soon be enjoying your new gear. Crank it up and jam!

Well, atleast, thats what I'm hoping it is.. Unless it was pure unluck that it didn't make the noise at the store
Murphy's not that good. Nope, you'll be rockin' in a minute- going through all that disturbing business of hearing yourself in a band, going back home and listening to Jack Bruce or John Paul-Jones (you are listening to John Paul-Jones, aren't you?...) and discovering, with horror, all the practicing, hard work and hard listening you've got ahead of you to sound like what you're hearing!
Good for you man, play your bass!

What?
What?
Whoah! Lol!!
I meant the guy who wrote Murphy's Law! (Quoted from Bass Masta: "Well, atleast, thats what I'm hoping it is.. Unless it was pure unluck that it didn't make the noise at the store"...)
Get it? Heh-heh... sorry, I guess I wasn't too clear- but that was pretty funny.
Get good cables. Clean all the jacks in your gear (bass and amp, inputs and outputs)with Caig DeOxit. I use a brush I got at a gun store for cleaning the bore of a .22 rifle. Works bitchen. Make sure none of your jacks are loose. Also make sure that all wires to the jacks are securely soldered.
:scowl:You said you were using "some cheap cable" from the head to your cab. Is that a SPEAKER cable, or a regular guitar patch cord or cable?
I was looking for this clarification and even when asked, it was never clear.
