I've just hit an old Watson XB50 amp.  It sounds sho much better than my tiny 10w practice amp but when I touch any of the controls it crackles quite loudly.  Is this normal or should I get it looked at?

It only cost me 40 quid so i don't mind a few quid spend on getting it sorted.  It's not for giving or anything,  just practicing/ learning in the house.

Cheers folks.

Scratchy pots are common, and can usually be cleared by adminstering a tiny spritz of Caig Deoxit and then rotating them to clear.

If that doesn't solve the issue, you could have a tech check for loose solder joints.

Good luck!

Cheers.  I'm gonna have a word with my bass teacher on Thursday,  see if he knows someone.  Tbh it's not too bad as the volume is set and in the house I can't crank it up to much do it'll probably sit where it is.
