Double check the amp by touching the tip of the instrument cable when it's plugged into the amp. If there's a hum, you should be good there.

I'd take the guitar to a guitar shop if I were you. They will be happy to let you test it on one of their amps. If it doesn't work, you can drop it off for repairs while you're there.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance paul donnelly https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-bass-help/#post-60734 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-bass-help/#post-60700 Thu, 13 May 2004 11:44:31 +0000

Check the cable first, they are well known for shorting out. A multi meter could be used to test the cables.

hope it helps

1. Does this scenario sound familiar to anyone?
2. Is there any way to fix it? or should we start shopping for something new?

(please forgive if terminology and such is wrong- I started learning to play acoustic guitar about 3 weeks ago, so I know nothing about electric anything, and not too much about the bass either)]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance reikigrl https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/broken-bass-help/#post-2400
