What are you guys using for your bass tones? Guitar or Bass cabinets?
Nice video, what do you think about running the bass through a guitar amp + guitar cab for overdriven sounds and mix the result with the sound from the bass amp + cab?
Is guitar amp head is safe to use a bass cabinets speakers?
I was jamming through my 5150 and 4/12 cab with my bass but I don’t crank it up mad loud like I would with my guitars. Do you think it’s okay to play at quiet volumes ?

Has anyone tried Jensen P15N for bass?
Another great video, Kohle!
u tok 2much
I was hoping you would put a bass speaker in a guitar cab and a guitar speaker in a bass cab and show how it sounds, but I guess not 🙁
The only other issue I had is the 2 cabs you chose; you got the metal recording standard, a mesa 4×12, but for the bass cab you got a value oriented 4×10, with who knows what speakers are inside there. I understand the video is based around the principle, but I was hoping to see the guitar 4×12 compared with a Mesa Powerhouse 4×12 bass cab, even a 2×12 bass cab would've worked.
What we learned:
For bass tones use a bass cab.
I had a Crate 4×12 bass cab that I used for guitar. I tried all kinds of speakers in it, I LOVED it with K100s. I used it with a Windsor head boosted up front with a Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic, set totally clean but with the output volume pegged, which pushes the front end of the amp like 4 times as much as any 9 volt box. I'd set everything on the amp at about halfway and flip the pedal on and get tight high gain that still sounded kinda vintagey, and that bass 4×12 with the K100s in it kicked serious ass. I think it was just sealed and not ported. The inside was very well insulated, and it was definitely heavier than a guitar cab. It was also smaller in height and width than the Mesa oversize (guitar) cab my bass player had. It was actually good. If I found another 4×12 or 2×12 bass cab, unloaded or otherwise, for cheap, I'd grab it up. It's something about how they make the baffle and how they insulate the inside that makes it unique for guitar tone. Seriously, try putting Vintage 30s in a non-ported bass cab and A/B it with the same Vintage 30s in whatever cab they were in before. It's a cool sound.
Did those IRs ever get posted? Guess its been a while so I don't remember
Hi, are t¿you trainging a orange guitar amp with a bass cab?…;), great chanel
Hi, are you traing a orange amp with a bass cab?
Is it safe to plug bass guitar to guitar amp?
Same-same, but different.
This is a pretty awesome vídeo.
I'm quite surprised the SM7b was so light on the lows. I always thought it was a dark sounding mic, now it know it's more of a a mid sounding mic.
I wonder if the RE30 from Electrovoice might make a better dynamic mic for bass instruments?
They should be more common they sound heaps better
Hey just wondering do you think mixing a guitar and bass cab for rehearsals would be a killer tone too?
What are your thoughts on running a high gain guitar head through a bass cab for a metal guitar tone, something like an Ampeg SVT-410HE cab?
Question… I have a 1×15 Bass Combo that has a 8 ohm ext. Cab option. I play my guitar and bass through this combo. If I were to hook up an extension 2×12 (with guitar speakers) cab for when I play guitar – all should be fine.
BUT If I play bass in this configuration… will the bass eventually kill the 2×12 if I play at jam volumes for a period of time… or will the bass combo 1×15 take most of the load and the 2×12 guitar speakers will just be "extra" definition and not be pushed to death?
I have a fender rumble with a tweeter and mics of the same ilk, I might go looking for the Klank!
I'm going to combine the Orange super crush 100w with my 4×12 bass cab I'm wondering now.
The video and the info is amazing, Thanks.
That’s awesome! Thanks so much!… i wonder if the first sm7b on the bass speaker becomes a bit redundant though, maybe all u need is the ksm32 for low-end, mic on the horn for high end, and the sm7b on a guitar cab for mids ?
Toooo much treble!!! Dont hear much "low end"
I’m playing my PRS MT-15 through my darkglass dg112n cabinet and it sounds good. I have nothing to compare it to, but it’s actually decent. I will buy a speaker cabinet for the MT15, but for now that’s what I had already bc I only played bass for some years.
Great informative video Kristian m/-_-m/
I have two questions if you could help me.
1) What if I match a bass head 500 W 4 ohms with a bass cabinet 500W 8 ohms?
2) What bass cab would you suggest for death metal ( B standard tuning) 2×10 or 1×15? Just for practice in a small studio with my band.
Thanks in advanced! m/
Lol nothing fancy it’s $1000 microphone
I run my guitar through an old Carvin 8×10 bass cab, and it gives me crushing tone when I'm playing by myself…too much from a production standpoint, though, because the guitar really needs those mids to cut through and be heard.
