Scott_LP Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 The most awesome gigging amp! Wouldn't take two minutes to set up, light as a feather and fits in your pocket!

[/quote] Yea you can, I've been a bit cautious with it though as I didn't want to hurt the speakers especially at first but now it seems I can play bass through it fine. Playing guitar through it has always been fine and sounds really good. It really is loud for such a small amp! Edited March 6, 2014 by Mark_88MPH

I'm thinking of getting something like this but I afraid it will epithet not be loud enough or the bass guitar would simply blow out the cone. I will see if I can find and videos online where a bass is being played through it.
MarkG3 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Just trying to work out how to post a recording I've done, it's an MP3 but comes up as some weird file type when I attach it on here. I've tried using soundcloud but I put my login details in, then it asks for them again with that silly capcha thing then it doesn't do anything. Edited March 6, 2014 by Mark_88MPH

Jonnyboy Rotten Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 That sounds very reasonable on the clean and slaps. How high can your turn up the volume on the bass and the amp?
MarkG3 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 I always have the bass volume on max and for those I think the volume was on 4-5, I haven't really taken it passed there as that's loud enough for just playing at home. The battery compartment on mine rattles when it's up really loud, so I've just taken it off. Just checked and with the gain on 0 I can have the volume on around 6-7 and it's fine but much passed that and the speakers start getting a little bit farty, but that's not that loud. With a guitar you can get it a lot louder and there's no farty noises when in clean, obviously with the gain up it distorts. But as a little amp just to play around at home it is great, I mainly use it to record guitar but also play my bass through it quite often too. I'll get some recording of my guitar as well so you can hear what it's like, I don't use the tone knob on the amp, I find that at 12 o'clock is where it sounds best.
Kiwi Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Too bad it doesn't go to 11. That's one louder than 10.
randythoades Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 I think you have just won the award for the world's biggest microphone!! Awesome.
JapanAxe Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Can you split the head from the cab? I wouldn't want to have to cart that whole rig about in one go!

You'd need a special truck to shift that in and out of pubs.
MarkG3 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Sadly the amp and cab are stuck together so it makes it that little bit harder to carry......... Here's some more samples This one the Rhythm guitar has the gain on 8 and the Lead guitar is on 5 [url="https://soundcloud.com/bassmark-1/fender-mini-tone-master"]https://soundcloud.com/bassmark-1/fender-mini-tone-master[/url] This one is in clean, rhythm is bridge pup and lead is neck pup [url="https://soundcloud.com/bassmark-1/fender-mini-tone-master-1"]https://soundcloud.com/bassmark-1/fender-mini-tone-master-1[/url]

MarkG3 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Yea that's what I'm going to have to do, I tried doing a one handed lift but it put too much strain on my back
