Can the BD-2 also be used with a bass guitar

Sure- however... Boss guitar pedals have their low end limited from the get go. One of the easiest mods to do is replace the input capacitor to get more bottom. Without that, a bass won't get quite the "blatt" (mimic the low chirp that come from pushing a speaker till it breaks up) that a bass distortion pedal might.

Being a big Boss fan, I was not surprised by the quality and performance of the BD-2. Boss describes the characteristics of the pedal very well. It does produce a nice analog feeling clip with excellent, subtle overdrive harmonics. It makes a good amp come to life even at low volume levels. It has quickly become my favorite overdrive pedal and works nicely with other Boss products. I use it with a Boss ME 70 Cosm pedal-board giving me several levels of boost and world-class effects. Play clean or mean! The BD-2 will help Boost Your Blues.

I have one of these for guitar and it works fine. If the bass has a 1/4" input jack (which I'm 99% sure it does) then it'll work fine. Just be careful with it and take care of it because the clip that goes on the strap is flimsy. Other than that it works good.

Hi, you could but it will sound muddy because there is no tweeter or horn in it. It is meant for a bass guitar. Thanks

Yes it can. Actually That's how it was designed to work. Just clamp it to the headstock, turn it on and tune. I'm a bass player and that's how I tune.

I'm wondering the same thing in regard to the "bass trainer", MP-BT1. I play guitar and bass and would like to get one that will sound good with both.

It has a pitch bend strip so my answer is yes. You can play through guitar amp just watch the bass notes.

from the looks of it I don't think so but don't quote me on that. But what I do know is that the Behringer Bass V-Amp works just fine with keyboards.

I haven't tried it with a bass, but I'd have to agree with the other responses, that it would be unlikely to handle the low frequencies of the bass, except at volumes probably not useful. The Behringer BX108 (at least the older version) and the Ashdown TOURBUS-15 are nice little bass practice amps although not as portable as the Pignose or the Roland Microcube somebody mentioned.

You can but you might not get the sound you want (depending on your style). You can do a lot of damage plugging a bass into a guitar amp though.

This is meant for use with an electric bass. That said it will still work with an electric guitar.

I didn't understand how you're planing to use this item, but I use it with my bass guitar and it sounds good. I'm quit an amture in bass playing maybe a pro would think deferentially. It's size is convenient, the sound is clear, and I think you can plug it to a big speaker. Hope this answers your question =].P.S. You can't plug an mp4 to it.

Hub Bub here. I just got a bass guitar and happy to report this little amp sounds just fine playing a Fender style precision bass. Plenty of volume for practice alone or with the radio. I reported earlier of good bass response with a standard guitar but didn't know how well it would work with a bass. Now I know this will work just fine.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

Worked great with earphones, but we used with standard electric guitar. Based on the sound from the amp, I would think there would be a distorted sound if used for a bass.

Don't see why not. I know a lot of guys with guitar rigs that they use with bass and they all sound killer.

No it would not handle a bass guitar for anything more than a low volume practice. Love the other comments and advice.

Hello James, I have not tried it with a bass but see no reason that it would not work, it will. Keep in mind though that the low rich tones you would expect from a larger amp won't be there. It will be audible and it will have plenty of volume. Hope this helps you out a bit. You might check YouTube, search for HoneyTone Amp. You might find your answer for sure there! Good Luck! Dennis
