Guitar running through a bass amp?

<< < (3/4) > >>

bucky_2300:
^ Eh, the loss of top-end and playing dynamics is just too much for me.

EDIT: Those guys are also using really nice bass amps, not your average solid-state Peavey. ;)

ALoveSupreme:
I'd say if you're doing a gig that's primarily acoustic guitar and little else, and you have an electric guitar for melody, it would work very well.

I guess it does depend on what you're looking for.

Thrillho:
I disagree. A lot of an acoustic's sound is based on the strings, and the bass strings are much louder because they're simply bigger, so having more bass coming through your amp when you're getting more bass anyway might be unhelpful.

SensoryOssuary:
Thanks for the reassurance.

Maybe my ears just aren't as acute as you guys', but frankly, I think the amp sounds fine as long as the mid is about 50% higher then the bass, and the treble is about 50% higher then the mid. I've been doing some lead lines and scales up on the higher frets, and the tone isn't bad. Like you guys said, the lower strings are very robust, too.

However, I've noticed that when playing chords that span the six strings, the highest two or three are a bit drowned out, but they're not totally overpowered. At this point, I'm more or less willing to adapt my playing style to accomodate for this, or just stick to acoustic for chord progression.

Exactly my point.
