Hello support,

I've just bought a Fender Rumble 15, if I plug a standard strat in the amp it works fine, if I plug the bass does not work. Same cable in a Mustang I and III and both Bass and Strat work properly.

when I plug the bass into the rumble after the strat the bass works fine for a few seconds, after it starts getting quite and a strange sound comes out until it becomes totally silent. If I plug back the strat it works fine.

I tried everything possible, I can't explain the behaviour unless is something related to my bass that has active pickups. It is a squire jazz vintage modified special.

Thanks
Leo

Not only the signal might be stronger with your active pups, but the impedance might be outside the supported range too.
In which case an impedance matcher might be of help. Something like this passive one might help:

Did you try a new battery in your bass?
My Rumble 25 does what you have happening when my 9 volt battery gets low in my Ibanez RDGR. Also, make sure you unplug your cable from the bass when not in use, it will make your battery last longer because the circuit is disconnected from it. Hope this helps.
