What is the difference between a BASS Guitar Amp and a STANDARD guitar amp, as far as the circuitry?
I am assuming the speakers are made to better handle the bass frequencies, but are the circuits any different?
I am asking this, because awhile back, I bought a generic Bass Guitar amp for a price I could not refuse. It's a small soild state amp, with about a 30W output.(or is ist 50W, websites seem to vary). Has an 8" speaker in it. I mainly bought it to be used to test other equipment in my shop.
Anyhow, I'm impressed by it's sound quality. It does a fine job of reproducing both bass, and the high frequencies. It's only mono, but it has a nice clean sound and can get quite loud. It's just some off brand device, called "Gorilla". (model GB-30). (some worthless links do pop up on google). Made in 87.
Over the years I have played around with many guitar amps, and repaired numerous tube amps, but this is the first "Bass Amp" I have touched. When I bought it, I actually thought I'd have to change some capacitors in order to get the high freqs, but this amp reproduces the highs as well as the bass.
I have yet to find a schematic or manual for it, but it works, so I dont really need a schematic at the moment. (But I like to have one for everything I own). [If anyone sees one, pls let me know]
Then again, I always thought that the "Fender Twin Reverb" amps had TWO reverb tanks. They dont! Just one..... "Twin" is just the name of those models, and there have been many variations in that model over the years, and it has always been a big seller with good reputation.
