When the sound is not being heard, then there may be a problem with the valves in the amplifier. Also, this should be suspected when the instrument is producing funny noises. Preamp valves can be swapped with new ones. Remember that they do not need biasing. You just have to get a great one. Replacement of the entire set is okay, but one can do if you cannot afford the first option. The power should not be on when you are completing this task.
