amp problems

[Lt Fuzzy]

Just a few minutes ago i was playing my bass in my SWR workingman's 10 combo at about half volume. Then the amp started making a wierd hiss noise. Im used to this happening cause my cords suck, so i took out the cord to look at it. when i unplug stuff i put it at the lowest volume cause the hiss annoys me when u plug in a cord, so when i pluged in the cord (at 0 volume) a huge, freakishly loud hiss came out of my amp. i unpluged the cord and the hiss didnt stop, so i turned off the amp and unpluged it. What happened to my amp!

Sounds to me like you've gone and janked the input all up trying to save a $10 cable.

take it to a shop where someone might have a remote idea as to what is wrong with it...

when you tilt the amp to either side does it sound like something is rolling around in there? did you drop it at all?
