Hey all,

A while back I decided to pick up a cheap bass guitar and amp to learn. I've been playing the guitar for 6-7 years now, and have been having a ton of fun with the bass.

The other day, I had this crazy idea to try hooking up my Mustang III with this Rumble 15 Bass amp as an extra speaker. I plugged a 1/4" cable into the back of the Mustang in the "Send" jack for an FX Looper, (Is this safe to use as an external output jack?) and plugged the other end into the input jack of the Rumble 15. I then plugged in my guitar, cranked the volume, and was really satisfied with the sound. I was also able to use the Mustang's effects through my bass by muting the Mustang's speaker (I know not to play a bass through a guitar amp's speaker) and cranking the Rumble 15's.

Nothing wrong happened fortunately, I've looked up and read that the Mustang's output impedance is 8ohms, and the Mustang & Rumble 15's speakers are 8ohms. Though I heard that you shouldn't plug an amps output into the input of another amp. As this could blow something up.

Am I safe to do what I'm doing? It sounds great, but i'm putting this idea on hiatus until I get some feedback.

I appreciate your help!

Since you're not using the speaker outputs on either amp you don't have to worry about impedances. There shouldn't be any harm done.
