Will it work with a bass guitar? I have a 5 string and am looking for a little practice amp that's inexpensive and works. Suggestions??

I was told to never play a bass guitar through a guitar amp b/c it could damage the amp.

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).

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.

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.

Bass guitars tend to overpower or even blow out non-bass amps. You can get portable bass amps; that would be what to go with. Bass guitar is a different creature. ; )

I'm not understanding ur question but if ur wanting to know if anyone recommends that Boss amp to that Plye sub then..... My answer would be that the amp you chose will work but not a brand I normally recommend.

I would not recommend playing an electric bass through a guitar amp like this. I doubt the frequency range of the speaker would give you a very good sound -- I don't know if you could cause any damage to the speaker itself, but I wouldn't risk it. Honestly since I'm not an EE I don't know though. If you're planning on playing a bass and/or guitar through the same amp then I would buy a solid state and save some cash. Also less heart-ache if you do cause some damage. Just my personal opinion.

6 string electric... Bass amps tend to have a b- model number like b15. Acoustic makes a decent cheap b series bass or g series electric amp. I would look at something besides the star caster for a guitar amp too... It is pretty crappy. Line 6 and Laney make a little bit nicer amp for not much more.FYI bass guitars can fry your guitar amp because of the low frequency. Bass amps don't have the crunch or clean sound of a guitar amp but can work for both.

It should not give you any trouble tuning a bass. I don't personally play bass but as long as it is first in your chain it should handle a bass just fine as Korg advertises it as a guitar/bass tuner. I hope that helps.

It doesn't seem to read the e string on a four string bass very well (Fender Squier Jazz Bass) You have to position the tuner in just the right place on the headstock otherwise it doesn't seem to register the vibrations. I'm not sure how well it would work on an even lower string.

I dont use it for the bass. You would probably blow it up. Look into a cube amp of sorts it will be more money but what you need.

Although I have a bass, I have never tried it through the G5...but I was thnking about it just last week. It is possible to get bass like sounds out of a guitar, but its not ideal. I was considering using a real bass to just layer in something with the looper function then switch back to 6 string for overdubs. I see no reason why the effects, EQs, compressors etc wouldn't work fine. I doubt you'd get much mileage out of the amp models and distortion stomps though - or the tube booster circuit. I guess it could be quite creative (with the z-pedal!), or it could be a reasonable tool for tailoring a sound...can't vouch for it just yet though I'm afraid.

I had to get creative I use the speaker output on my amp and You have to play around with the bass trainer levels and your amp I didn't use the bass In plug I used the line out to my amp you need some adapters the 3.5 millimeter To 1/4 hopefully this helps

This amp can handle guitar or bass, but only at acoustic levels. And only one at a time. There's only one input. That means, it would work with bass in a group with an acoustic guitar-- not an amplified guitar, but a truly unplugged guitar. That's how I use mine: bass through the pig nose, guitar un-amplified. I think that electric drums would be too much, and might blow the speaker. You'll need a dedicated drum amp for that.

Hm, probably not too well. This microphone is designed as a mic for a tuner. It works great to plug directly into a tuner. it's OKAY to use as a contact microphone for amplification if you don't have any other options. I purchased it as a backup for just in case my classical guitar pickup goes out during the middle of a gig and I need amplification. The sound you'll get out of it is not very good, because isn't designed for that. But with a lot of EQ work, you can still get a decent sound at a very cheap price. I recommend keep looking around for a better mic for your bass, but if you have a little extra cash lying around, then it's definitely worth picking this one up to have a mediocre spare and just to see how it works.

I wouldn't suggest it. The horn and speaker config in a PA speaker is not designed to work well with a bass amp. Your tone wont be very good. If you decide to go down this path it needs to be able to handle 480 Watts

I really don't know, and I don't have any way of trying it. It has wonderful tone with my bass, but I don't know anything about its upper range. My guess is that you'd be better off finding something intended for use with a guitar.

Yes. I mainly use this amp for electric bass. It's not a "bass amp" though because its not just for bass. Guitar also works well with it. In fact, it has an a second input in the back that works simultaneously with the front input. I plug my bass in the front and my brother can plugs his guitar in the back and its completely portable.

The Vox plugs into your instrument where you'd ordinarily plug in the cable from your amp, so in that sense it will work. If your question is whether it has the acoustic bandwidth to deal with the higher-pitched guitar, my guess is that it will be Good Enough for use in practice sessions. I'll try mine with an electric keyboard and report back if there is serious degradation of higher pitches.
