ADjust your Gain setting to limit just enough so the amp does not go into Protect mode. Turn your Gain all the way down, then crank up the bass from your system. GRadually turn up the gain until you trip on protect. Turn the gain back a notch and your set for no more protect.

Your amp has two inputs - Passive and Active. Do you get the same results plugging into either one? If only one works, then the other needs reconnection or replacement.
Please add more information to improve help, does the amp just distorts in that particular note or teh entire sound is distorted? does the amp distorts at low volumes?
Sorry but your post did not provide enough info. Are you having a problem with the volume control. Do you need a wiring diagram. What model Peavey bass do you have. For instance, the Peavey bass I have has active electronics ans requires a 9 volt transistor radio battery to power them.
The preamp section has a problem. It could be anything in the preamp but is OFTEN the input jack itself. They take a lot of abuse.
Also the insert jack contacts that forward the preamp to the power amp if no external FX are used can go bad.
Additional things are circuit board cracks caused by rough handling and also controls that have had the knobs mashed in which can destroy the potentiometers they are connected to.
The problem you have mentioned is a common one with old sets, but it also occurs in new ones also, though not frequent. You can fix this just by changing the electrolytic filter capacitors in the power supply and sub filters on the amp PCB. The new capacitors should be of the same or higher voltage rating and same capacity rating as of the existing ones. And as it is such an old one, it is better to change all the electrolytic capacitors to avoid any further problems.
