Newbie here. Someone told me once that it's a bad idea to play a bass through a guitar amp, that it can mess up the amp . Is that true? I have a Crate vtg club60, has a high and low input. Thanks,
ADrian

what about guitar through a bass amp?

Sounds like you're talking about an Acoustic Control 154 guitar amp and yes, that's my design. We have one here at the studio and everybody loves it.Personally, I played bass through a solid state guitar head with a 6x10 sealed guitar cab for years and it sounded great, even cranked.
But then, I think maybe Harvey had something to do with the design of that one, so there you go.
Right on, thanks everyone. I'm asking about this bc. I'm planning to get a bass just for recording, don't want to buy an amp unless I need to. I don't plan on playing it loud, maybe at 1 or 2 at the most (my amp is freakin' loud, for me at least, I almost never turn it above 3). My amp does have an open back to it, though. So it seems like it might be fine for what I have in mind (?).
Nicole - I've also heard Fender Bassman is good for guitar.
Thanks again ,
Adrian
