Anyone ever use one of these as a bass guitar cab? I'm thinking of using one in conjunction with a GK 210 (2 ten inch speaker) cab, also 8 0hm..

No but if you buy this you may want to open up cabinet inspect the crossover. It came loose in shipping twice.

It has a low end driver and their is no workable treb,midBass setting,it says it has but unless you have video combined I see no way of adjusting it for your low end db setting.I would say "NO" dont waste your money save up a extra $100 and buy a harke or if your on a tight budget a fender 40 or 60 watt bass amp will give you better results,you can mic a small amp for small gigs or basement bands.

I wouldn't suggest it unless you perhaps got a car 6.5" woofer speaker and did a swap. What you may wish to do is see about a Yamaha THR10 (has setting for bass... not loud, a bit pricey imho) maybe a Roland Bass Cube RX (made for bass, duh, I have reg Cube RX and it's pretty solid Roland Micro Cube Bass RX Battery-Powered Bass Combo Amp ) If don't need to run on batteries, maybe a Peavey Vyper 1 will fill the bill (handles all types of guitars including bass).

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

I don't think this amp would sound very good with a bass guitar. It tends to be better for bright tones, which doesn't make it very good for a bass tone. I'm sure you could play it safely at lower volumes, but I don't think it would be a very good bass tone.

I wouldn't suggest it. There is just not enough power output here to run 2 - 4 ohm cabs. You need a bigger amp that can run bridge mono at 2 ohms if daisy chained or has separate outs for each cab with a higher wattage output. Of course this also depends on what the power handling and needs of each cab is. If its a bass cab then I'm betting its power needs are much higher than this amp can deliver. Call us we can help.

Hub Bub here. I just got a bass guitar and happy to report this little amp sounds just fine playing a Fender style precision bass. Plenty of volume for practice alone or with the radio. I reported earlier of good bass response with a standard guitar but didn't know how well it would work with a bass. Now I know this will work just fine.

I'm not sure how you would use it. 1) A fender bass has a direct line out: if you want an "in-line tuner", then you wouldn't use the mic. 2) If your using the mic as a pick-up, again your fender is electric, you would just be by-passing the installed fender pick-ups that make the fender the great guitar that it is3) if you're using it for an "effects send", then you're again bypassing the best (and cleanest) signal from your bass - and you would have to run through a mixer to use it.CONCLUSION: I wouldn't use it on a Fender Bass.

Hello James, I have not tried it with a bass but see no reason that it would not work, it will. Keep in mind though that the low rich tones you would expect from a larger amp won't be there. It will be audible and it will have plenty of volume. Hope this helps you out a bit. You might check YouTube, search for HoneyTone Amp. You might find your answer for sure there! Good Luck! Dennis

This is a great little amp and has worked well for me. If your looking for loud bass then this is not the amp your looking for. i have it set up in my mini van 2 speakers I. The door and 2 all the way in the back trunk area, all are 5 1/2 inch speakers and it seems to produce good power for listening. Hope that helps.

I'm using mine in a free air app (trunk) but if you use the specs for a 8in sub Inclosure I think they'll still give you a good mid bass

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)? But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

I had two of these in a gmc sierra extended cab in box under the rear seat and with a 500 watt amp it sounded bad ass and hit really hard. But I know your question is how much and I don't know. The most I put was 500 to both bridged. But I believe they are rated 500 a piece. Hope this helps.

Worked fine for me with bass control knob for 208. I have similar set up in an SUV and was worried 300 watts would under power subs but they sound great to me. Would 500 watts to the sub sound better? Technically perhaps they would but I am picky about sound and am happy with 300 watts which according to my research is within the preferred range of power. Plenty of power for moderate listening levels. If you are into rap and need to boom or listen at very high volume then perhaps not.

Sure- however... Boss guitar pedals have their low end limited from the get go. One of the easiest mods to do is replace the input capacitor to get more bottom. Without that, a bass won't get quite the "blatt" (mimic the low chirp that come from pushing a speaker till it breaks up) that a bass distortion pedal might.

That's what it does best, as far as the gain channel goes. The range that it covers without much tweaking is between the Clapton style overdrive and say, Judas Priest style 80's metal. More subtle than that and you'll need a boost in front of the clean channel (which it actually handles well). If you want something more brutal, stick a pedal in front. Just remember that it's a 1x12 combo and not a thiele cab.
