I posted this on the vintage amps forum...I'll see if anyone here can chime in...
long story short....My old band from high school got asked to play a reunion show (lame) I didn't want to but I didn't wanna be the only one to say no...The other guitarist and bassist play extremely LOUD....i had to push the bandy to keep up...now if its sitting on top of the speaker cab and a bassy note/chord is hit it makes a sound like there's a bad cable...i checked all the cables with known good ones...I plugged into into a different cab and it was fine....unless i pointed it at the head...then the vibrations caused it to do the same thing...the treble and bass controls are also noisier when turned up...and when i turn it off theres a slight pop....Im sending it off to get recapped the end of this week....is it probable theres just some faulty 40 year old caps in there???
I just dont know why vibrations would cause it to do such a thing...anyone have any similar experiences/suggestions???
also...when the volume is slightly rolled down on the guitar it hums...when rolled back further it stops....
I just ordered caps and im going to check out all the voltages see if that helps....but does anyone have an idea what it may be???
thanks
