I just got my first amplifier, a used Fender Blues Junior NOS (tweed exterior)...
I've been experimenting tonight with my Phoenix Jazz mandolin, and noticed that when either nothing is plugged in, or I plug in the Piezo pickup, the amp is pretty quiet, with just a very slight hum (I assume that's just the tubes???).
But, when I plug in the humbucker, a more noticeable (almost too much) hum/buzz comes and goes depending on which way I'm facing, and even then it sort of cycles on and off every 5-10 seconds or so...
I'm very new to electric instruments...Is it likely the amp or the pickup? Or is this just part of the mojo?
Thanks,
Darren
