chantelle Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know if playing an electric guitar through a bass amp would damage the amp? Edited October 26, 2010 by chantelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 It will be just fine! - What kind of music will it be used for? If you are using distortion pedals and the speaker cabinet has a tweeter, you might want to turn it off (or down) so the distortion doesnt sound too harsh.

Colledge Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 don't expect tone nirvana, ive done it a few times and wasn't too impressed. Josh Homme however shows that guitar amps thru bass cabs can sound killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS73 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Paul Kossof, Marshall 100w Superbass and Bass 4x12, I think volume was not an issue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I plug my semi acoustic g***ar into my combo regularly & it sounds pretty good to me (for a bass combo) & sometimes I'll put vocals thru it too (via mixer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Geordie from Killing Joke, and Burman Pro 4000 bass heads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 No problem, I used to play with a guitarist who used a Les Paul through an old tan Fender Bassman combo. It sounded magnificent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
