i am thinking about trading my bass rig in for a 5150 2x12 combo. i dont really want to play in bands anymore and i like playing guitar by myself. but could i still play bass through it with out destroying it?

You can play on it as long as the amp is on a low volume and also keep the volume output down on the bass guitar, otherwise, there is a high chance you will blow your speakers out.

if you do that, its gonna sound like shit with a 5150, but all you need to do is unplug the speaker output cable running to the 2x12s and plug the amp itself into a bass cab of sufficient ohms and wattage. thats what i did with my 5150 combo and i still do it with my jcm 800. but i will say this. when you decide you dont want that 5150 anymore, i'll trade you my left nut for it. i regret the day i traded my 5150 combo for a bass full stack.

real talk-
bass->guitar amp = fine. not gonna sound good most of the time, but fine.
bass->guitar cabinet = good chance you'll blow a speaker
guitar->anything bass = sounds good

no matter what you do... eventually you will blow the speakers if you play bass through any guitar amp.

Im a bass player for life homie! but since i hate playing in bands now ive realized that bass is kinda boring all alone. so i been playing alot of guitar. the 5150 is my absolute favorite guitar amp. its perfect for anything really. so when i seen the combo at the pawn shop i was whoah! i need this! |
