Does it work fine with Bass or is focused only in guitar with some Add-on for Bass, I'm a bass player but I want it to practice and have fun.

Out of the box, this game is solely focused on guitar. You must purchase a digital add on for bass guitar. At the time I purchased the add on it was USD $9.99. That said, the bass feature works great and is a ton of fun. Just be aware that this feature costs extra.

So, there are conflicting answers here. Manufacturer says yes it is bass ready with no add-on required and a customer bought it and shows the $9.99 bass add-on screen shot. Which is correct here? Seems it should come ready for both being nearly 2 times the guitar only cost. Would like to buy this but another ten bucks is pushing it and being misled by the manufacturer is not good customer service. I understand that the game likely has the bass lines and other programming built into the songs unlike the guitar only game. So does this add-on cost more or not?

I have a Bass Guitar too, but I never thought to use it whit bass. I don't know if it makes a good work because all the effects are tuned for the guitar's audio spectrum. In fact there is a Zoom for Basses. But I can try an tell you the results. ....... Out of curiosity I've tried with my bass, but as espected, the effects more frequency dependent like the wah-wah work really bad, the less dependent like the delay work better. There is the Bass counterpart of this pedal effect: Zoom B1 Bass Multi Effects Pedal It's quite better ti take it.

Personally, it is good for any style. I really like it a lot. I play pretty aggressive music so I think I have an understanding of what you're going for. For me it works if you have the Sustainer at a lower level otherwise it'll hum and feedback a bit. Just adjust based on your settings and other pedals.

I had never tried it and was inclined to think it wouldn't work very well but I plugged my P-Bass into it and it actually sounded pretty good. Definitely doesn't have the punch of a bass amp but would be fine for practice work or just noodling around without vibrating the whole house.

I can't say. It is a subtle distortion pedal that I use for crunch more than distortion. I can't imagine this pedal being very interesting sounding with bass. Perhaps one of their hi-gain or fuzz options might be a better fit.

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.

Personally, I don't like the its fx for instrument. I mainly use it for voca/harmony.To me, guitar fx is not quite good and there's some significant delay..

I am sorry but I cannot answer your question. I use mine for Bass and Guitar only.

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 you can use a bass on this pedal. I practice on it with a P Bass. It's a great little practice pedal, not something I would hit the stage with though.

Unfortunately I got it as a father's day gift for my dad,and we haven't really played much rock or heavy metal through it,but it works well with Reggae..It might just be an experimental experience at first,until you figure out the right settings for it.I know I wasn't able to offer much help,but I hope that you will be able to find the right settings for it.

The L1, as far as I could see is an integral powered speaker system and I think it has crossovers to send to each components it's convenient frecuences so I think you coul play a bass guitar on it because it has a sub woofer which could work well on it, of course, don't think you can play with it on stage with a heavy metal band, but taking it easy and playing softly, I think there shouldn't be so much problems to play with a bass in it.

Yes, I plug my bass into it quite often. My bass can be switched between active and passive mode, and it works well both ways with a large difference in signal input between the modes. If your bass is like mine, turn the input volume all the way down before switching to active and then adjust the volume accordingly after switching to active mode on your bass.

Sorry, but I can't answer that. I share the same concern. I actually ordered the bass for a friend, and he hasn't had a chance to play it much yet. I guess we'll have to find out the hard way.

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.

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