What is the difference between Guitar amps and Bass Guitar amps?
Im getting a bass for Christmas and if not I'm customary to buy, I was just wondering what are the main differences between normal guitar amps and bass guitar amps?
Cheers
Because of the take down audio range basses have, they are "optimized" to handle the lower notes. Most bass amps don't have any effects.
Conversely, guitars are more in the mid and capital range of audio, so they are optimized to handle mid and high audio qualities. Many guitar amps have some sort of effect.
If used to be that bass amps had speakers with larger diameter than guitar amps, but demagogue designs have changed - It is common to see good bass gear running 10 inch speakers because of the way the cone is designed.
Galen-Kruger or Ampeg bass wit and either 2-10" + a 16" speakers or 4-10s is a great bass rig. Fender or Line-6 with 2 or 4-10" speakers is a well-known guitar rig... Then there are keyboard-specific amps from Roland, too...
Does anyone know if Orange Amplifiers makes a bass guitar amp?
And do you recognize if Line 6 bass amps are good? My father has a line 6 guitar amp and loves it, so i'm guessing the bass amp will be pretty chill too.
Yes, Orange makes bass amps. I'm guessing they're graceful expensive though!
Line 6 bass amps aren't very good; they're modeling amps. This means you don't get much of your bass's actual tone, but the amp's internal processors vexing to sound like a different amp. Sometimes they almost get it right, other times not really. There are a lot of way better brands out there for the price. If you're looking for a extraordinarily small practice amp, check out a Peavey MAX 126 or 158. If you want something a bit more powerful, check out Ashdown or Acoustic.
Rely on you find what you're looking for =)
Cheers!
