Peavey 115 Low hum Low volume from input

My peavey MAX 115 bass amp is giving me a very low hum and the volume doesnt go an 8th of the volume it used to when plugged into the input jack..
checked cords
tried my guitar with a different amp (worked fine)

Heres the wierd part.. I can plug into the return jack and it gets almost as loud as it used to. (gain and the eq knobs dont work though.)

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.

Peavey max 115 makes popping sounds but no out put when bass is plugged in
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.

The amp has a failure. One side of the power amp is starting to draw excessive current to the point that the filter caps can't sustain the current so the ripple starts to be heard in the speaker.
