Can you use this for an electric bass?

Absolutely ....same cord as guitar. I love my little amp. Had it about a year now. It packs a powerful loud punch.

don't really know -- don't know any bass player who has used it. seems to me it couldn't hurt ...

It's not ideal, but can be done if kept at low volumes. It is not meant to handle the lower frequencies of a bass guitar. Thank you.

It would be good for vocals and mic'd acoustical instruments, but an electric bass guitar really should have it's own amp. Find an amp that's designed specifically for bass guitar. If you're on a tight budget, you might look for a used one on Craig's list, ebay, or at a pawn shop. Even Amazon sometimes has used or refurbished stuff.

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.

It works just as well with bass, yes. I use exactly the same setup for guitar as bass, I just change the VST settings in Guitar Rig between bass and electric guitars. Hope that answers your question.

As was mentioned before, this is not suitable for bass guitar, but if you want to stay in the Pignose family, they do have a bass amp, the "Pignose PB-30"

I don't see why not. I have this exact amplifier as well as 5 other amps and I use all my keyboard and guitar instruments that I have to come out of each amplifier as well as mp3 music. I also create rap beats and play it out of my amps and since I have this exact amp and use it to play back all the rap beats I create, I would say that yes you can use an electric drum set using this amplifier. It would work no problem for you. However The quality of the amplifier speaker itself doesn't sound very good. Just know that you get what you pay for. If you don't care about the quality of the sound, then sure, his is a cheap amplifier you can use to just jam and create beats on your electric drum set. However, The watts isn't that powerful ( which means how powerful the speaker actually is ) If you play your electric drum set very loud, then it could blow the speaker. If you do care about the quality of the sound and if you really want to blast your electric drum set loud making beats out of this amplifier, then I'd spend a little more money and get something that you will enjoy having for awhile! The question really is how loud will you play your electric drum set, and do you care about the quality of the sound coming out of the speakers?

I would say no, i blew this amp up within two weeks of light use. This is a guitar amp with bass mode don't be fooled by the description.

You can but you might not get the sound you want (depending on your style). You can do a lot of damage plugging a bass into a guitar amp though.

Any bass amp can be used for guitar, but you won't get the benefit of the higher frequencies produced by a normal guitar. And vice versa with a bass into a guitar amp. I wouldn't recommend it.

No it would not handle a bass guitar for anything more than a low volume practice. Love the other comments and advice.

yes it will, but you may end up with hum, it is a tube preamp, it does have a bass guitar setting. you can return it, so hell try it.

I haven't tried it with a bass, but I'd have to agree with the other responses, that it would be unlikely to handle the low frequencies of the bass, except at volumes probably not useful. The Behringer BX108 (at least the older version) and the Ashdown TOURBUS-15 are nice little bass practice amps although not as portable as the Pignose or the Roland Microcube somebody mentioned.

I'd look at the Fender Rumble Bass Amps, they are made for bass and there are several different sizes and price ranges to choose from.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

This combo amp is actually meant for a bass guitar but it will technically work with any electric guitar or bass guitar. However, as a bass amp, all of it's settings are built form the ground up to sound better with a low sound, meant for bass guitars.
