This is not really a recording question but something more along the lines of an accomplishment. I just wanted to share it and see if anyone else has done something similar.
I own a Peavey Bass guitar and two fender bxr100 bass amps. I was playing a while ago through both amps and I wasn't really liking the "dry" sound of them. The bxr100 do not have reverb or chorus or any effects built in. Now, I like a little reverb. So I thought, "Hmm... how can I get some reverb without plugging into my guitar halfstack?" Then it hit me! I found this little 30 dollar mic i had bought a while back with a 1/4" jack on it. I plugged it up to the input on one of my bass amps and plugged my bass guitar into the other amp. I set my mic about 3' in front of the amp I was playing through and turned the other one on. After a few minutes of mic positioning and eq adjusting: Viola! Home made reverb! I can move the mic and adjust the eq and it is similar to adjusting the reverb parameters on a dedicated reverb box!
I just wanted to share this with all you great people! Thanks for listening.
