Hey, whats up guys. I have an older cab with 2 10's and 1 18", EV speakers, that my guitarist has been running through lately. Will this hurt the cab? I didn't think so, but I wanted to a second opinion. I am not running through it at the moment, just guitar.
Thanks.

I have a small Marshall guitar amp. It has a great preamp,
but it has a small speaker and puts out a loud sound that
is all treble.
If I hook my bass amp to the line out on the Marshall the
result is awesome.
I mean, it rivals a real Marshal half stack.

The only time I kinda liked it was when I was playing doom and a friend ran an Ampeg 410HE (tweeter shut off) for super low-tuned, super distorted guitar, |

Ok..One of my guitar people played through one of my cabinets for a while because his cab broke. Also, another of my guitar people used my Gibson Thor for a couple years because he didnt have an amp. Bass has a pretty wide frequency range.

It was the final nail in the coffin for my Fender acoustasonic jr, which I will now sell. |
