You can pretty well plug in any guitar as it's just a "signal source" at the end of the day.But the speaker wont appreciate heavy low Es at high volume for instance,not being a dedicated bass amp! The presets can be changed for what ever you wish to include.I use an SD card and have hundreds of different style backings,full tunes and many songs,and can play back them all as I wish.The limit however is the "100 presets",but you can swop over saved presets as much as you want!
:wink:

Hi there, you should probably check out the info on the following thread before you do anything though:-

viewtopic.php?f=25&t=57263&p=701232&hilit=bass+guitar#p701232

It's up to you of course, but Fender's position on this is quite clear.

cheers.

The speaker will not hold up to a bass. If you really want to utilize the amp, use just the head only by turning down the amp volume and runing the line out to a powered speaker or bass amp that has an effects loop. Send the signal to the return on the other amp.
