I need to buy an amp...

[fervent latch]

i think the rule mostly is you can use guitar on a bass amp but bass on guitar amp isnt ideal

cause guitar amps arent designed to withstand bass frequencies

"in general" so there sure are some exceptions

depends how loud you wanna play

[pine blade]

I don’t personally like bass amp for guitar but it’ll work

[little badge]

not much, im in an apartment after all

[fervent latch]

if its low volumes i dont think bass should damage the rumble 15

tho like small speakers will make bass really hard to hear

[little badge]

that amp is a bass amp

[fervent latch]

oops my bad

i thought the champion was bass?

I may be wrong

[pine blade]

@little badge ever thing about amp sims

[little badge]

yes, and it's too much of an hassle, i just wanna plug in a thing and play

[fervent latch]

for 60 bucks its hard to beat getting any amp tbh

[little badge]

i checked on the fender site and it says it's for bass

[fervent latch]

good good

[little badge]

as long as it doesnt sound like complete garbage with a guitar i'll be okay

[fervent latch]

whats the speaker size

if you know

[little badge]

15w, 8" speaker

[fervent latch]

i sometimes play guitar through my orange bass amp and it sounds good

i think fender one shouldnt have issues

[little badge]

ight ty

[fervent latch]

npp enjoy whatever youll end up getting

[pine blade]

It’s not tho

I can plug in and play with my sims too

[little badge]

yes it is, you dont know my setup nor how my bedroom is layed out

and i'd bang my guitar everywhere

[pine blade]

Ok but you’re acting like sims take 10 years to be able to play

[little badge]

i am not?

[pine blade]

Exaggeration

[little badge]

i understood

[little badge]

alright, then tell me, what would i need for an amp sim? and how is it better than a normal amp

[pine blade]

A computer an interface and either speaker or headphones then ofc sim and for around the same price (all together) as some practice amps a lot better sound

[little badge]

i'll think about it as a secondary thing

if i wanna experiment with effects or whatever

for now i dont want additional clutter and cables i cant hide on my already busy desk

after all i can sell a used amp i get tired of it

[pine blade]

I mean boss katana

[little badge]

what about it

[pine blade]

It’s a combo amp that as tons effects in it

[little badge]

which also costs 3 times as much

so...

[pine blade]

Cheaper than buying 50 pedals plus amp

[little badge]

when did i ever talk about pedals

i said i wanna buy a box that makes noises and plug and play
if i wanna experiment with effects ill get the sim amp thing

i dont understand how that isnt acceptable

can i please have my preferences?

[pine blade]

^^^^

[pine blade]

Dude calm the hell down

[little badge]

yes
i was referring to the amp thing

[little badge]

i am calm

[pine blade]

I’m just giving ideas and suggestions not saying what to get

[little badge]

it's like asking if i should get squier and you come in with "get a fender instead"
like yes no shit it's gonna be better, costs 3 times as much

[pine blade]

You asked for suggestions I gave budget suggestions

[little badge]

budget?

[pine blade]

Yeah a boss katana is a budget amp

[little badge]

I found an used Fender Rumble 15 Bass Amp for 60 euros.

[little badge]

yes, will you give me the remaining 140 bucks?

because if the answer is no, i cant get it

again, i found the thing for 60 euros. that was my budget, or something around 60

not 3 times the price

[pine blade]

Get a job I guess idfk I’m just giving suggestions on what to buy not like that’s the point of this thread channel 😱

[pine blade]

You ain’t gonna get much good for 60 bucks

[little badge]

"get a job"
🤡

[pine blade]

I mean how else you get money?

Go do what ever you eant I won’t stop you

I just came to give suggestions and you went cry baby so have fun playing guitar

[little badge]

cry baby? dude, holy shit
i asked advices for thing
you suggested something completely different, which is like, okay, but after the third time i decline, maybe, JUST MAYBE, get the hint.
Then you suggested something that costs 3 times as much as my original budget. my budget for the thing was something around that price.
Then you start saying random half-assed insults like "get a job"
If you dont wanna really help maybe dont talk at all

especially if you wanna say random bs

as i said already

as long as it doesnt sound like complete garbage with a guitar i'll be okay

[pine blade]

Never particularly said a budget and and I did wanna help that’s why I suggested stuff that’s much better for not a whole lot of money

[fervent latch]

bro doesnt get it

[little badge]

3 times the price is a lot of money more

[little badge]

who is bro

i mean
which one of us

[pine blade]

I didn’t a lot more I just not a lot

[little badge]

i also specified in the post that the amp was 60 bucks. common sense dictates that THAT is my budget. I guess common sense is not that common

[pine blade]

Bro angy

[fervent latch]

other dude

[little badge]

i am not, im just irritated

[pine blade]

I can tell

[pine blade]

Tf I do I suggested stuff and bro threw a fit

[fervent latch]

^

[little badge]

"get a job" apparently is a suggestion

very kind and absolutely not at all an insult

[little badge]

okay then, lets clarify

[little badge]

• i am looking for an used bass amp
• i want an amp for now, not a sim amp
• budget is around 60 euros, max 80
• i live in italy, ill look for something local because nobody is gonna ship me a 10kg box for cheap
• popular used websites here are Vinted, FB Marketplace and Subito, but dont go look for offers there directly
• i dont care about effects for now

that said, do you have any advices that would be better than a Fender Rumble 15?

and also fit in the guidelines?

[fervent latch]

A rumble 15 new is around 130 euro from what i see so 60 is an absolute steal

[pine blade]

Yeah but it’s not the best for guitar imo that’s why I SUGGESTED save up more money to get something solid for both maybe a positive grid spark that does both guitar and bass

[fervent latch]

[pine blade]

But if you want it just get it

As o said I don’t particularly give a shit

[little badge]

bro didnt even read this time, while the guidelines are all laid out there

[pine blade]

Yes

I did I’m not illiterate

Did you read the last little bit

[little badge]

that you didnt give a shit?

[pine blade]

No that if you want that get it

[little badge]

bro is actually a moron

[fervent latch]

bro suggested positive grid spark for bass

any credibility is gone

[little badge]

i dunno about gear so

that this is still like triple the price tho

[pine blade]

It works for bass ik because I use it for my bass at times

[fervent latch]

4" speakers youd have to have your head next to the amp at night to hear any bass

but then again suggesting computer plugins proves quality isnt important for him

[pine blade]

Nope

[pine blade]

Idk what you’re on about amp sims sound incredible

[fervent latch]

ok sure whatever makes you feel better

[pine blade]

Have you used any?

[fervent latch]

i know how hard it is to get anything shipped to italy tbh

[fervent latch]

gave up really quick

[pine blade]

Clearly

[fervent latch]

but if youre gonna buy from someone I'd check if it works, cause hefty discouns are always sus to me

[pine blade]

#your-playing-creations message

[fervent latch]

if you like 8 bit quality all the power to you

[pine blade]

They work awesome ly

[pine blade]

How the hell you get 8bit

[little badge]

oh that's not the main problem, i can find a lot of things in italy, but the problem is with shipping costs, isnt really worth it for a cheap amp. amp are big and heavy. 20-30 euros shipping when it's like half the price of the amp isnt really worth it, better buying local, or at worst, going to rome and have to carry the thing back, cheaper than shipping lol

[pine blade]

Must done some goofy ass shit to it lol

[little badge]

oh ye i will

[pine blade]

That’s true

[little badge]

ill go to his house anyway

[fervent latch]

oh yeah def i used to have an entire day to take a bike ride to buy cheap guitars

never tried an amp tho

[little badge]

ill ask my dad for a car ride lol

ill get turned into a pancake if i try to go with a bike there

[fervent latch]

yeee amps are way heavier lol

[little badge]

no more like someone is gonna hit me with their car

[fervent latch]

ahhh

fair enough

[pine blade]

If amp sims sucked why do thousands people use them and a lot of professional guitarist and studio engineers use them?

[fervent latch]

if you want me to explain things to you you can dm me

[alpine basin]

i think it might be a bit of a waste personally

to get a rumble 15

it'll work, but you're very limited with what you can do

id aim for at least a 10" speaker on a bass amp

bigger speaker, more low end at all volumes

reason it'll be so cheap is because no one buys them

[little badge]

If you can advise something that isn't 3 times as expensive I'll look for it

[alpine basin]

What budget do you have?

[little badge]

I'd say 100 euros max, but I'll see what I can get locally, which isn't much lol

If you can shoot some names at me I'll look them up

[alpine basin]

Afraid the rumble 15 is all you’ll get really and I still think it’s a waste. Imo go with a headphone amp.

Katana go gives you effects and a recording interface for just over 100 euro

Does both guitar and bass

Orange maybe is a brand you could look at

[little badge]

A used boss katana here goes for 200 used

[alpine basin]

I’m talking about the katana go

Not the big amps

https://www.boss.info/global/products/katana-go/

It only recently released

I have one and I love it

Use it for anything and everything when I don’t want to plug into a my combo amp

[little badge]

The katana itself new is over 100 euros by itself and I can't find a single one in my country used lol

[alpine basin]

Probably won’t find a GO used because it came out like a month ago

It should be like 125 euro or something

I paid about £100

[little badge]

Too much over budget

[little badge]

I think I'll still get the rumble 15 and sell it if I find it's dogshit

[alpine basin]

Yea you can do that, might struggle to get someone to buy it is the problem

[little badge]

At 40 someone is gonna buy it
Also given that the dude selling lives in the middle of the countryside and I live in the city

[alpine basin]

Easiest way would be to trade it in

[little badge]

Trade it in?

Where?

[alpine basin]

To a music shop

If there is any

[little badge]

They're gonna give me a penny and a chewing gum for it lol

[alpine basin]

Depending on the condition you might get close to what you paid

Maybe a bit less

[little badge]

I'll give it a try

Eventually

[alpine basin]

They’ll probably sell it for like 80

Imo I’d save for something like a rumble 40 or ampeg RB110

[little badge]

About the headphones amp, is it just a small thing I can plug into the bass/guitar and then into my headphones?

[alpine basin]

Yea

You can output it as well to anything with an aux in

[little badge]

So something like a vox amplug?

Or not, in case it's bad

[alpine basin]

Yea, but the katana go is better than every other headphone amp

Like by a lot

[little badge]

It's also far more expensive

I'd expect it to be better by a lot

[alpine basin]

I think it’s underpriced tbh

You get the same exact features as a full katana amp

Plus being able to stream backing tracks to headphones from your phone

Also the stage feel thing which is sorta like a Spatial Audio thing

[little badge]

I don't think I'll ever need that ever, I can just smash it out of a speaker

[alpine basin]

Just a few effects available on it

[little badge]

How is it better than an amplug? Expect in features, which I really don't need

[little badge]

That's pretty cool and also very much over budget

Is it only effects then?

[alpine basin]

That is the appeal of a katana, infinite tone options really

The session mode is cool though

[little badge]

So it's the same in sound and usage, it just has a ton of effects, correct?

[alpine basin]

You can stream backing track to your headphones, but also make it automatically change tones enduring a song without you needing to do anything

Idk if it sounds the same, I imagine it sounding better being that it’s oss and their effects are pretty good

Also amp and can sims are good

Idk if a vox will have that being that it’s just a vox

[little badge]

I don't want an amp SIM please we already went over this

Not us but me and someone else

[alpine basin]

My dude it’s not a amp sim

Ok so

Digital amps can have different amp and cab resonances built in

This is a simulation

It changes how it sounds to try and get close to a certain amp or cab

So for bass you get 6 total I think

[little badge]

Well I mean you said amp sims are pretty good, I thought you meant like, amps sims on a pc, sorry

[alpine basin]

Guitar there’s more

[little badge]

I'll look for a review then

[alpine basin]

Nah I don’t use any software

With an amplugit’s basically designed to be a small vox amp that sounds like a vox amp and nothing else

[little badge]

I'll keep the katana go in mind then

[alpine basin]

Think I have some recordings

[little badge]

Oh, can I also plug regular headphones in a amp? Like the rumble 15

I don't need anything particularly good sounding, I'd just use it when playing at night

Just wondering if that's possible

[alpine basin]

with an adapter yes

for whatever reason it has the big headphone port

[little badge]

I have the adapter, nice

[alpine basin]

just examples of tones i got with a katana go

recording is fairly easy which is another reason i like it
