SWR Workingman's 12 problems

[drumlessons]

Hey,
I'm not a bass player but I got this amp and it distorts when it's turned up over half way. I looked inside the amp and it looks like someone soldered the speaker wires a little funky. Does anyone have pics (close ups) of what the inside of the amp should look like?

it distorts when it's turned up over half way.

It's normal on most any amp; specially noticeable in an SS one.
The tweeter will make such distortion even more buzzy.
Does any clipping LED light?
What are you amplifying with it?
All you say is what you are not.
If you are worried about your speaker wiring, please post a picture of that.
Good luck.
