Playing a bass through a guitar rig

Re: Playing a bass through a guitar rig

"For the Blizzard album I used one of Randy's 100-watt Marshall amps through a 4x12 cab and Gibson EB3 bass. The Diary album I used an Ampeg SVT vintage head (which I still have) through an 8x10 cab with my '61 P bass (natural finish). With Rainbow for the recording of the Long Live Rock and Roll album I used that same '61 P through one of Ritchie's doctored 200W Marshall heads through 4x12 cabs."

Some of those bass sounds on that guitar speaker were straight up dubstep.

Re: Playing a bass through a guitar rig

on a serious note tho...as long as the rms wattage rating of your speaker exceeds the rms wattage rating of you amp, you'll be fine.

This. Bass frequencies take more power to amplify than higher ones, so bass amps tend to have much higher wattage than guitar amps. Higher wattage is much more of a worry than low frequencies.

That makes sense also.

Thanks guys
