Help troubleshoot concert bass
« on: February 26, 2001, 10:49:00 am »
I have an old Sunn concert bass head/cab combo that I got out of my brother's garage this weekend.(he knows nuthin' about the amp).  Anyway, I went to plug in, began to play at low vol. and within about 15 sec. the smooth bass tone turned into a machine gun of popping, slowing in intervals as the intensity of the string died down. if you play a note  really really softly and quietly you can make out the bass note but anything harder creates the pops. Imagine Pat Sajack's wheel of fortune and every peg produced a pop as it began to slow to a stop.  Hey those are some freaky lyrics.

Hope someone out there can t.s. my problem.
Thanks
