Clipping and buzzing and hardly the same,
clipping would add bit of overdrive to your sounds, that's what clipping is actually. Buzz on the other hand can be caused by many things, one screw loosen a bit to the whole amp is "buzzing", or one note that causes resonance to some piece of amp etc. I can't tell more since I don't get if it was buzz or clip. -------------------- Youtube

On my bandreahersal, it was clipping Now I`m playing at home at low volumes, and I have this noise. Almost like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6AkfXgNx0c not so intense ofc, but when I play hard, the sounds are very similar -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself

Perhaps something is wrong with the amp. Have you checked several bass guitars on it? Have you swapped the cable, changed the wall outlet, possibly some effects could be causing this as well. Check all these things and see if you can localize the problem.

Anyways, it seems like AC buzz, at least at your home, check out cables, outlets, turn off TV or any other device just to be sure. As for clipping at rehearsal, it could be either input in your amp working wrong or you simply played louder than usual. Tiny clipping shouldn't scare you tho, it's "healthy" to have bit if hotter tone. I guess you have separate input (volume) and master pots on your amp to dial proper input and then overal volume of the amp? -------------------- Youtube

I have the guitaramp as well on the same wall outlet, and tried all cables at that amp, including the bass. Clean tone without no buzz...so I fear it`s the bassamp Will bring it to my luthier today, and see if he`s able to do som magic! Take it to amp tech mate, or if your luthier can fix it, then you can take it to him ofc. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hmm its best to take it to a tech. There is a switch behind the amp for "ground/lift" maybe has something to do with the issue. But be careful with that since I don't know what is broken its best to have your bass amp grounded.

I will do, I`m hoping that the amp is new enough that the guarantee will cover it all If you have warranty, definitely take it to qualified technician/service with a warranty papers. This will ensure that you get the services for free. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

If it's new you still got warranty in affect. Take it to the shop.

UPDATE! The amp was a 110 % functional! The unwanted noise is surprisingly coming from the cabinet (which played cleanly the day before). I`m pretty sure a part, or more, is loose. So tomorrow I`ll bother him with my cab instead Yep, told you. -------------------- Youtube

So tomorrow I`ll bother him with my cab instead Great man, it's good that you localized the problem. I hope it is just a minor thing, like a bad wiring or something, it should be very easy to fix. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

So tomorrow I`ll bother him with my cab instead That is a relief! I hope he will be able to diagnose and fix the problem with the cab! -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

A capo in your cab I really wonder how anyone could have done that hahah that is crazy How did it end up there? Sorry to hear about horn, some of them have a glow fuse to prevent overloading but it happens. If you don't miss those highs you don't need to replace it though. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
