We guitarists love our instruments, no matter how many strings they have. But electric guitars and basses need amplifying in order to sound their best. There are so many amps to choose from, in all manner of shapes and sizes... what's actually the difference between them, and why are there separate amplifiers for bass and electric guitar?
Today we're delving into the differences between guitar and bass amps - big and small, gig-ready and practice-friendly, for beginners and for seasoned pros. We look at why bass amps are generally bigger and more powerful than guitar amps, and answer the age-old question: does higher wattage necessarily mean "louder" or "better"?
Dagan demos both kinds of amps, explains the inner workings of how they make our guitars sound so amazing, explains the differences between their front panel controls, and even does a bit of "myth-busting" by seeing if it's possible (and safe?!) to play a bass through a guitar amp, and vice versa...
What's your favourite guitar and/or bass amplifier? Do you prefer a stripped-back, simple amp, or one with all the bells and whistles? Let us know in the comments!
