Aaronk0 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Hi I have an ashdown rootmaster 500w head at home I was wondering if I could run my electric guitar through the ashdown head and into a guitar cab Has anyone experienced this or tried it?, I thought it could be an interesting sound Quote
BobVbass Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 yes - usually ends up with a very chuncky sound - great for rhythm although I guess it will get muddy really quickly in a band scenario Quote
Japhet Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Works alright if you take out most of the bass and a fair bit of low mids eq.. Electric guitar through a Fender Bassman is a classic sound. Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Watch the power handling of the cab too. If using distorted guitar sounds, it may not be obvious if the speaker is complaining. What is the cab anyhow? Quote
Aaronk0 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks for all the help guys, I've got a cornford 1*12 cab but in my rehesal rooms there's some bigger cabs that I can test it through too. I'm recording a post rock project soon so I'm looking at cool ways of making different tones to use. Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 make good use of the mute button when plugging and unplugging. Wouldn't want to pop a nice speaker like that. Quote
blue Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 If you know what your buying guitar amps can be better than bass amps in someways. Tom Peterson bass player for Cheap Trick uses Orange Guitar Rigs. Blue Quote
mikel Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Why not. As said above the Fender Bassman was a much used sound by guitarists. Quote
