| I've recorded bass through a Fender Twin and also a Super Reverb with very good results. Got a good Carol Kay type sound. I don't know about live. I wouldn't want to play bass with a loud band using any open-backed cab. |

| It's very dangerous to the speakers to play bass through an open-back cabinet at almost any volume. I loaned my NV400 to a bass player at a rehearsal in my basement, and he blew the 200+ watt Black Widow at what I thought was very low volume. |

Chuck, You can put a 4 ohm bass speaker in a small closed back/ported extension cab, and disconnect your regular speaker and reconnect the bass cab. You can get by this way, but your Twin will not be voiced for the sonic lows of a bass guitar.
I took my normal channel on my Vibrosonic and had my amp guru drop the bass range down to accomodate my 5 string bass guitar. It sounds great, and I can double duty on one amp, with just switching out extension cabs. |
