What will happen if I play an electric guitar on a bass amp?
I have been playing the bass for a while.
Now I want to be able to play all the big riffs of the electric guitar.
I can get a decent guitar fairly cheap I just dont want to be spending alot of money on a new amp.
I have a stagg bass amp and was wondering what would happen if I played my electric guitar on that amp.
You are going to want to turn the bass and mids down a bit and the treble up a bit, but otherwise you will get a pleasant surprise. Bass amps handle electric guitar just fine, provided they aren’t already blown out from being overdriven. I prefer a bass amp or combo amp to a guitar amp anyway, since it is a lot more versatile and allows me to plug in a microphone when I need to. I can even jack in a keyboard or sequencer. Guitar amps are kind of fragile in comparison. They are usually made to get those highs and what most players want is to jack the mids anyway! Plug it in and rock on.
