I am now the proud owner of a guitar amp. I got it for $20.00 from a friend who's son tried and gave up the guitar. It is a Johnson Loredo T25-R. It's a tube amp, 25 watt. Since my bass amp went down the tubes (heheheh) this is a Godsend. After much fiddling around with the controls, I have a sound coming out of it that I really like. What I am concerned about however is, how bad is it on this amp (has 1 10" speaker) to be playing my bass through it? I have kept the volume pretty low thus far. It does have an 8 ohm extention speaker jack, could I add another bass cab to take some of the stress off the 10"? I really have no idea about all this.

Keep the volume low enough to not break up the speaker and bass frequencies in check and you should be fine. I use a guitar amp in my stage rig and have no problems at all, so you should be just fine for 20 bucks.

Thanks Bruce. That should be no problem as I'm find that I like to play pretty far in the background and am muting the strings pretty heavily with my fretting hand to get a strong percussive sound.

Great songs! Love 'em both.

You're really getting in the groove, too.

The amp looks/sounds sweet. Very vintage.

Thanks for posting, Troy!

Dang Line6, hope you get your computer back up soon. Hopefully I will get to play in a band, on a stage, making people happy one of these days. I look on Craigslist everyday :confused:
Thanks Art. Funny, I was sort of thinking the same thing about the beard.

Nice work! Not a bad sounding little amp at all.

I was suprised too. Kind of thought a guitar amp would never work for a bass but for just a few bucks, why not try it. Also, he gave me a Digitech rp200 but I don't care for the way it makes the bass sound. It does have a cool drum track feature but I found a much better one on the interweb.
