Members Misha Posted December 23, 2010 Members Posted December 23, 2010 Hi! I have a friend who wants to give her boyfriend an amp for Christmas... She doesn't have a lot of money... She is currently unemployed... She can't afford the Micro-Cube RX for Bass. Her boyfriend plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar and (electric) bass. He plays bass more. He doesn't even have an amp, right now and live in an appartment. Would a little Micro-Cube sound good with a bass? Could it get damaged? (I've read somewhere that the speaker is more like a car speaker than a guitar amp speaker. If that's the case, it should handle a bass at low volume, I think???)
Members jrfan Posted December 23, 2010 Members Posted December 23, 2010 The speaker in the microcube can be damaged easily with a guitar. It certainly wouldn't sound good with a bass.
Members JimboJ Posted December 23, 2010 Members Posted December 23, 2010 The Microcube is a great little amp, but I doubt it would sound very good with a bass (unless he's using headphones). For around the same price, I would go for one of these:http://www.guitarcenter.com/Peavey-MAX-158-Bass-Practice-Combo-104003454-i1145640.gchttp://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Rumble-15-V2-15W-1x8-Bass-Combo-Amp-105767818-i1500541.gc

Members Misha Posted December 23, 2010 Author Members Posted December 23, 2010 I wish she could find a used Micro-Cube RX Bass! As a plus, I read that it sounds good with a guitar and could use it with batteries... I haven't seen any used in my area and my friend came to me with that only today!
