Electric Guitar on a Bass Amp?

Hi!

I have a KUSTOM KB-100 Bass amp. Can I use it with a Electric Guitar for practice?

What do you think?

Greetings!

Yes, you can.

But it won't necessarily sound as good as an amp designed for guitar. Bass amps typically have speakers & circuitry that are specifically designed to reproduce the lower frequencies (sounds) of bass guitar range. Also, if you want any kind of gain, or overdrive, I've seen very few bass amp capable of that tone.

I once had a Fender Bassman 80watt head that sounded great for clean guitar. Some guitarists do use bass amps for certain sounds.

But, in the long run you should look at getting an amp designed for guitar!

Hope this helps. Have fun!

Christopher, thanks for the answer.

I'm going to buy an electric guitar + multi-effect this month, but I dont have money for a guitar amp. I will buy one next year.

I will use the bass amp for a while.

thanks again!

I'm not sure if I'm on time, but... If you are planing to buy a multiefect and can't afford an amp, maybe you should check amps that include it.

There's a model now, which I think it's brilliant for that, the Fender Mustang I. 100 dolars, more or less and great for practicing at home.

Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHjcj-dncak

Customizable presets, and also a lot of presets to download from the Fender website, uploaded by users.

I haven't touched the pocket pod since I got the Mustang.

I'm just curious as to why you are buying a multi-effects pedal if you won't even be able to use it correctly seeing as how you don't have an amp. Wouldn't it make more sense to buy the amp first, THEN the effects pedal?

Well it makes sense since he is going to buy a proper guitar amp next year. What he want's to know is if he'll be able to practice with the bass amp until that moment.

Which, by the way, unvalidates mi Mustang proposal, I think. Woh...
