$29.99 Bass at Music 123

My Fully bass was delivered to my home at 9 AM this morning. Will check it out tonight. This will be interesting, 'cuz I've never played a bass in my life!!

Never? At all? That surprises me for some reason.

Can I safely play it through my Delta Blues, as long as I keep the volume down? I figure that big ol' 15" speaker should handle the bass pretty well, as long as I don't crank it. Can anyone confirm?

I don't think it will be a problem, from everything I've read. (See this page for example.) The EQ on a guitar amp will be tuned more to mids than lows. It would be easier to blow a cone this way, especially if you crank it and you have an open-back combo/enclosure. I'd like local bass expert R.A. to chime in here.

Having said this, I'm not going to try it with my AD30VT. I'll try it with my Blazer because if I blow the cone on that thing, it could be considered urban renewal. I'm sure I'll get a bona fide bass amp at some point . . . just don't tell me wife that right now

I have an old Sony stereo receiver and an old set of HarmonKardon speakers that I have in the basement - I'm using that with the microphone in jack - works great and I don't have to worry about damaging a guitar amp.

Never. At all.

Well, I've held one and thumped the strings a couple of times, sans amp. But never actually played one. What can I say, I've led a sheltered existence!
