Comment on which is better in amps: fender or marshall? by Ryushen

I have a fender princeton reverb 65' original all tube, and a marshall DSL 100 also tube. Nothing will compare to the cleans of a fender, and Marshalls are just great for that heavy distortion sound, without the speakers getting all muddy. It really depends on what sound you're trying to get out of it, and of course what sounds good to you.

they’re both decent amps

I’d go with the Fender because it will give you clean sound the Marshall never can

Comment on Can I use my guitar effects pedal with a bass guitar? by Ryan

Yes you can, many bassists do, Cliff Burton used a Guitar Wah pedal, and I believe Juscin Chancellor from Tool uses a guitar distortion occasionally. As I say in many of my answers, it’s all about the tone you want.

Comment on What’s the difference between a Bass Amp and a Guitar Amp? by Ryu Habayusa

Yes, there is quite a bit of difference between them. It is possible to use an electric/acoustic guitar through a bass amp – some guitarists actually prefer this (especially in the Blues genre), and it won’t damage the bass amp.
However…
It’s an EXTREMELY bad idea to use any bass guitar through any guitar amp. Not only will you probably blow your speaker, but you risk ruining the amp’s internal circuitry as well.

Comment on So tube amps have to be turned up to sound good.? by r d

Takes em a while to heat up to sound good, so turn em up and they heat up faster.

The preamp section of the amps are voiced differently. Meaning that they are meant for different frequencies. However, it is popular with some guitarists to play through bass amps especially an old fender bassman. There are even examples of bass players using guitar amps (but, i think it sounds like crap.) It should have no effect on the instrument, but a bass could wreak havoc on a guitar amp.

Comment on Can you use a regular amp w/ an acoustic-electric? by eightbraker

eightbraker — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:00:59 +0000

Yes you can. I wouldn't think that the sound would be too great on a small practice amp , but it won't hurt anything. I think acoustic amps are usually for smaller groups that want to travel light and don't usually run any instruments through their p.a. systems. Most of the time when you see guys playing acoustic electric guitars in a band they are running them directly through the p.a. via a direct box. There are a lot of ways you can do it. What you buy is your choice but if you don't really need the electric part of it then you could get a better acoustic. If that makes any sense to you.

Comment on So tube amps have to be turned up to sound good.? by Isaac

Well my only experience with tube amps is where I take my guitar lessons, and they certainly do have a great sound. The walls in the room are soundproofed, so we can go as loud as the amps can stand. While almost ANYTHING sounds better louder, tube amps do get that crisp feel once you reach a higher volume, for the very reason you said, and while this is definitely optimal you can turn the amp on twenty minutes or so before you play and it’ll tend to heat up, allowing you to play with a pretty low volume.

It’s really a decision that you’re going to have to make. Consider getting the tube amp, but just taking a high quality 15 watt with you. The better of these typically starter models can actually get impressively loud. Good luck with the decision anyway, and have a good time at U.

I doubt it would have a terrible effect on either the amp or the equipment, but it might sound pretty bad. Bass amps are made for playing really deep, booming notes. Guitar amps have much more range, since a guitar has a much greater range of pitches. the bottomline: a bass amp might have trouble playing higher notes on a guitar and a guitar amp might have trouble handling notes played on a bass, because they are so low
