waynepunkdude Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just in the process of buying an electric Mandolin and I'm going to string it up as a uke, can I use my guitar amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I used to use mine with a guitar amp - if you want to sound "electric" it's the way to go. Double-coursed strings sound manky with distortion though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Which variety of elctric mando? If it's a four or eight string mandocaster/solid then it's straight into a guitar amp, no prob. If it's a hollow body then you can get feedback problems. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 You can but if you play live they usually just go through the PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The cat is out of the bag! The pickup is half a Precision bass pickup. Straight into any guitar amp, or acoustic guitar amp, or even bass amp, no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
