I have a question. I play a MIA Jazz bass through a Bassman 60 at home and , there is a hissing/static type of noise coming from the map if I sit within 5 feet of it with the guitar facing towards the amp. If I turn my back (guitar away from the amp), the noise is gone. When there is nothing plugged into the amp, there is no noise. Is this pretty normal ? Thanks!

anything electrical in the room say one of those adjustable lights or a computer or anything else at all really? The jazz bass has single coil pickups and those magnets dont just pick up string vibration they catch any signal and anything electrical gives off at least some kind of frequency so thats the most likely culprit besides this check the cable it does not sound like the grounds are bad or anything. but I confess I myself have had wierd $@!& happen with guitars for instance if I point any of my guitars twords one particular pair of basketball shorts I get a really wierd interference

OK Thanks for the replys ! I didnt even think about outside interference. My amp sits relatively close to my computer, television, and Satelite box . I took it to another room and it was totally quiet.
