Q: How can I put a line out of a bass guitar combo amp?
Is it possible? If so, how do you do it. I don’t know how any of this stuff works..
A: Hello there,
Soulmate has given you a very good answer. I do not disagree with anything he said.
If your amp does not have a line out jack, you can modify it to add one. In theory, not a difficult process if you understand electronics. Since you are asking this question, I would guess you do not have a good understanding of electronics. Therefore you should not attempt this modification yourself. It is quite easy to screw up a good amp if you do not know what you are doing. If you want this modification, take the amp to a tech to have it done.
However, the modificiation may not be practical. If your amp is not strong enough to handle additional speakers, you will gain nothing by added the line out jack.

Q: Would a Bass Combo Amp with a Guitar Cabinet hooked to it sound good with an Electric Guitar?
I’m getting a new Fender for Christmas and was wondering if this would sound good. I already have a Kustom Bass Combo Amp. If I add an Electric Guitar Cabinet to it… how would it sound? Would it be able to get any of that great Fender sound into it or would it be too bassy? I know Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top used bassmen for their electric guitars.
A: Personally I yhink it would be too “bassy” (if thats a word). I think that may just be my opinion, the only real way is to expirement. It also depends on what type of music you may want to play. If you like hardcore metal solos then don’t bother with a bass amp. If you like loud chugging riffs that will make the foundation of your house shake then keep the bass amp ang get the guitar cabnet too.
Q: can i use a Marshall MG30DFX Combo amp with a bass guitar?
i have one for my electric and dont want to buy a new amp for a bass. some people said using a bass with a guitar amp will blow the speakers =(
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Marshall-MG30DFX-Combo-?sku=483188
A: No, you shouldn’t be able to blow the speakers.. a properly designed combo amp is mated with speakers that can take anything the amp can normally deliver. Bass pickups don’t deliver any hotter a signal than any other pickups… they’re just delivering it an octave lower.
Your probably will really be simple: weak sound. It simply takes more energy to deliver an effective bass sound. As well, your amp’s EQ is designed for the range of a standard guitar, same with the speakers. So you simply won’t get the sort of reproduction to best represent your bass. In fact, depending on the amp, it’s possible you’ll actually get less output than you would from the guitar, depending on it’s low frequency response.
Now, will this matter? If you’re gigging, probably.. a 30-50W guitar amp is probably fine for a small club, but for a bass, you’re probably want 150-200W for the same space. For practice, it’s probably no big deal.
And you CAN get a usable bass sound. I play a Line 6 Variax, and I usually have a couple of bass models in there, sometimes used along with a phrase looper, so I can lay down a quick and dirty bass line before switching to a normal guitar sound. It works, but though my 30W Roland Cube, really only good for practice or a small room.
Q: What is the best bass combo amp?
Looking to buy a combo bass amp for guitar with at least 400watt or better nothing more than $450.
I was looking at the Behringer BX4410 and BX4210A.
Anyone had one of these?
Or do you know any other combo amps that are good?
A: Acoustic makes pretty good bass amps for a low price.
Q: Is this a good first Bass Guitar amp?

I cant really spend much over £100, Is this good enough for a first bass amp, or can I do better for the money? Ive played guitar for a while with a nice Marshall amp (well quite nice), so if its crap I’ll prob be able to tell :/
Thanks
A: Line 6 makes very good stuff. You should be fine with that amp. If it has a external speaker jack that would be good because you might want to plug into a bigger speaker at some point. I would avoid Behringer like the plague, contrary to what the other fellow said.
Q: What is a good, cheap starter bass & amp combo?
I know a lot of stores have pre-set electric bass guitar & amp packs like Target, Walmart and even Guitar Center. But I honestly think I can invest in something much better for about the same price. What do you think about this:
Dean Zone XM Bass Guitar + Peavey MAX 158 Bass Practice Combo Amp {$200}
I’m open to all answers so feel free to recommend anything (under $250 that is).
-Thanks
A: You’re right – buying things separately is usually the better way to go when it comes to starter packs. Basically every starter pack you’ll find is really poor quality, and the stuff doesn’t usually last very long.
As far as the amp goes, the Peavey MAX is actually a really good choice – Peavey makes some of the best small, cheap, reliable practice amps out there =) …if you want to buy a slightly nicer bass (see below), you could also look at the Peavey MAX 126 – it costs $30 less, and has only 3 watts less and a 2″ smaller speaker. This will mean it’s not as loud, but other than that, it’s the same amp. Volume isn’t a big deal when it comes to practice amps anyway; good sound quality is the most important.
Just a tip, if you’re looking for a good instrument cable, check out Monster Cables. They’re a bit pricier than most cables, but really high quality, AND they come with a lifetime warranty. So when your chord wears out, you just get another one for free =P …so you only have to buy one cable, haha.
I’d stay away from Dean; some people really like the looks of their basses, but their quality is pretty bad until you get to their high-priced instruments.
I’d also warn against getting any bass by Epiphone. Epiphone is like a cheaper version of Gibson, and the quality of Gibson’s basses has really gone downhill since they discontinued the Grabber and Ripper (their two best models); all the Gibson basses out nowadays are really overpriced, poorly built, and sound bad. So, you can guess what the quality of Epihpone would be like (hint: really bad =P ). The Thunderbird is an especially notorious model; some people think they’re the coolest, but they’re really neck-heavy, poorly designed, bad upper-fret access, and sound really muddy.
For a good, cheap bass, I’d recommend Squier or Ibanez.
Squier: Try an Affinity (cheaper) or a Vintage Modified (higher quality) Jazz or Precision. Jazz basses are really versatile, and sound good in almost every style of music with a bit of tweaking. Precisions have a great sound for Punk/Rock, but aren’t as flexible. If you want to save money, go for an Affinity. The Vintage Modified series is widely held as Squier’s best line of instruments, so if you don’t mind paying an extra 100, you’ll get a better instrument. That’s up to you though.

Ibanez: They make some really nice starter basses; check out one of their GSR series basses. They have really slim, comfortable necks, and sound good in pretty much all styles of music. There’s also a version of the GSR200 with a Flamed Maple top; if you like the look better and don’t mind paying a little extra, go for it =P

The most important thing, though, is to play the bass yourself before you buy it. Go to a music store with a few in mind, and play all of them. Find which one feels the best, sounds the best, and suits your needs the best – then you’ll be set!
Hope you find what you’re looking for =)
Cheers!
Q: what is a good price on a 5 string bass guitar and amp combo?
A: Man u can’t even ask a question like that. A bass or guitar set will always cost u as much as u could afford. When it comes to performance u can’t compare Peavey’s to Washburn’s, same is for prices. U need to know the sort of music u wanna play and the size of your budget and the answer will come to u
Q: Need help on buying a bass guitar amp?
I’ve been playing bass guitar for around 2 years now but have never gotten around to buying an amp larger than a practice amp. I am a serious, devoted player and need a quality amp (preferably combo) of at least 200 watts that can be used for small gigs. My current budget is preferably $400 or less, although 400 is pushing it. I simply have never shopped for amps before and could use all the help I can get. Any suggestions?
A: stay away from 1×15 and 2×15.. they just dont pack enough punch. you need a 4×10 cab with a tweeter
i used to gig around with 2 1×15 cabinets from a 150w/chan amp and it just didnt work .. then i got an Ashdown 4×10 and bought a new amp, 400w/chan and it was all the difference. I played bass in this band
the current bassist in our band has a 1×15 and the thing is cranked all the way up and cant keep up with my Crown PA (the one at 400w/chan) and i dont even bring the amp past 40% volume.. i play guitar in that band
Q: Which bass guitar amp is better?
Im just lookin for other ppls opinions on lookin for a new bass amp combo. I had my eyes set on a Crate, Fender, or a Galien-Kruger amp. They are all at a 100w powered and seem to have the same features, but which one is more trustworthy and reliable?? any open opinions??
A: I have to agree with

Q: Can I use a power amplifier and a loudspeaker instead of a bass amp head, for playing my bass guitar? ?
Can I plug my bass right into the power amp? Or do I have to use bass heads or bass amp combos? Or can I plug it into a powered mixer? Is that okay? Thanks.
A: A powered mixer possibly, but not power amp. Well, I mean you could, it’s not going to hurt anything, it’ll just sould like crap. You would want a preamp to boost the signal and provide EQ capabilities. If you get like a Tech 21 SansAmp, Line 6 Bass POD, a Behringer Bass V-AMP or some such, you can run it into what ever you want and it’ll sound fine.
Q: Best bass guitar amp for less than $500?
I’m getting back into playing the bass and will be playing mostly in my basement, but hoping to eventually start jamming again. I’m looking to purchase a combo bass amp. Two that I’m looking at as possibilities include the Peavey TNT and the Fender Bassman 200. Are these any good? If not, any other reccomendatiions?
A: You might want to check out the Kustom 310, although it is a pretty big amp. They have a killer clearance price on them right now but not sure how many they have left. The Ampeg BA115 would be a good choice also.

Q: How can I get a Rickenbacker 4001 sound from a cheaper bass guitar?
I have a Yamaha RBX374 bass and a “Fender Rumble Series 100/210 100 Watt 2×10 Bass Combo Amp”, am thinking about upgrading, but my price range isn’t high enough for a Ric 4001. Is there anything I can do to get that sound, or should I buy another guitar? If so, which one?
Thanks in advance.
A: Ricks have a punchy sound.
If your amp has bass, middle and treble controls, try boosting the bass and treble to your liking, but leave the middle fairly low in comparison.
This is often called a “V” notch effect.
