I am getting an occasional buzz in my Ampeg BXT 210M. I am using the cab with an Eden WTDI/power amp and Ampeg SVT115E. There isn't a buzz in the 115E. Any suggestions?

OK, first thing, I'd make sure to tighten down all the speaker screws then test it.
Millions of low frequency vibrations would tend to loosen the screws in my sorry ass, too. Just snug `em down.

Ok, I checked all the speaker screws and they are fine. I re-checked speaker cables and instrument cables. However, upon a closer look, the same thing is going on with the 115... and it is happening with each note... a slight buzz that seems to fade out. Could it be the pots on my bass?

I also switched out the Eden WTDI for a SansAmp BBDI... same result. It's almost like a combination of a buzz/static crackling. It comes and goes... sometimes it's persistent. When it's happening, I even tried moving the knobs on the bass and it doesn't seem to affect it... just quieter or louder. I would have thought that if it were the pots, it would directly affect the buzz/static crackling. Any ideas?
