This happened to me once when I had a ground loop. Basically what this means is that my wah pedal was plugged into a different circut than my amp.
Then again, it happened when you disconnected your pedals...hmmm....

I get this too.

Any solutions?

Our bass player has the same problem at practice but never on stage.

thanks everyone for the advice. I went with the easiest/cheepest rout today and both turned down my tone knobs from full, and used a shielded cable to hook up with. I'm not sure which did the trick, but the radio signals are now gone.

Well, it's easy enough to turn your tone knobs back up and see if that makes it come back. :lol:
