I actually ran my bass though a mini guitar amp because I forgot to bring my bass amp.
The tone I recieved was awful, but I didn't break it for some reason.

it'll only really break if you turn it up high enough, which is why they're not the best option for gigging and playing shows.


for practicing, they're not bad. bass amp is definately better, but not bad.

I was half-hoping it would break, the guy who owned the amp was a dick

it's not an automatic plug it in and BOOM! explosion!!! situation haha but you're not doing any good to the speaker or amp by running a bass through it. like Antonio said, it likely wouldn't last a gig.

i play an ibanez bass with an acoustic amp.

the best bass player of all time is steve harris, and i like victor wooten too. well skillwise i might have them backwards but i like harris more just because he plays the kind of music i listen to..

sorry for the bump. i just was eager to find a bass thread so i searched for it

I play a Ibanez SDGR.

Favorite bassists
Les Claypool - My kind of music
Victor Wooten - The god of all

Victor is for sure the most skilled bassist I have come across, yet, Les Claypool is my kind of bassist.

Keep this Thread going!

So by now most of you are probably aware that I want to learn bass pretty badly... I still haven't made my purchase yet because I'm having second thoughts.

Is it possible to learn the bass if you have really small hands and fingers? Because my hands are quite tiny. I can play piano and guitar amply but everything about the bass is just fatter. They are strong and flexible, just small.

Thoughts, opinions? Apologies for the copious amount of questions.

Alot of small chicks play bass... for example, Rika mm, Elizabeth Hart, Paz Lenchantin. It feels really weird trying out a bass for the first time if you play the guitar. I have relatively big hands and it still felt a little awkward. Well anyway why not try a short scale bass first...
