Guitard amps for bass

I guess I was thinking more along the lines of a combo amp, wich is usually a bad idea. Using a guitar head is usually fine.

 

actually, for a while i was using either a guitar half-stack (with guitar 4x12) or a 2x12 guitar combo as part of my gig rig. using it for the od/distortion channel instead of pedals through my bass amp.

 

i thought it sounded good, and so did the rest of the band. but then i ran into several soundguys who hadn't the slightest clue how to mic it up.

 

 

 

ask clatter what she thinks of the idea :D:D

I had an old GK 400b bass amp that I lent to my guitar playing friend who blew up his guitar amp. It was the first time he didn't get drowned out by the other guitar player's Mesa/JBL stack. It sounded KILLER!! I've also seen many guitar players who swear by Fender's old Bassman amps (1x15).

If I remember correctly Chris Wolstenholme from Muse uses a Marshall halfstack with his bass rig to get his drive sounds

 

 

I don't belive so, no. He does use Marshall, but they are bass amps. google his name and you'll find a few pages dedicated to his gear. There is also an amazing Muse-wiki site of some kind. Has set lists from every gig and a ton about their gear and more.

Ok then, I did rehearse thru an old Fender twin one time when my old rehearsal amp failed. It did the job but I had to EQ it more for mids and less lows. The sound was cool though, I can see why Squire like to split his highs into a guitar amp and his lows into a bass amp.
