Peavey Basic 112 went kaput - Help!

Post by felixthejazzcat » Fri Jun 16, 2017 10:58 am

Last night my Peavey Basic 112 went kaput. Below are some symptoms.

1) When I plugged in headphones to the headphone jack it made a high pitched squeal through the headphones. (frightened the cats sleeping in another room but I digress)

2) I unplugged the headphones. Now when the bass is plugged in, there is no sound from the speaker except when I touch the bass strings it generates a buzzy hum. There is no correlation between the volume knob setting and the volume of the buzzy hum.

Hoping for suggestions on diagnosis, etc.
