Katana Mini X is it loud enough for a guitar circle jam?

[jimok]

Wondering if anyone has experience using the Katana Mini X with an electric bass? I play in a guitar circle with up to 8 or 10 people. Because I also play guitar, I'm trying to lighten my load for the jam. Currently using a Hartke HD15, which is plenty loud enough, but carrying it along with my Fullerton Uke bass, and 000-18, assorted cables, cords, up stairs is no fun. The Mini X seems like it would be half as heavy as the Hartke, and smaller, but would it be loud enough to cut through 6 acoustic guitars? Thanks!

I would think you would struggle to hear it w/ bass unless you stuck it up by your ears. It’s a guitar amp, so frequencies below ~100Hz will generally be lacking too.

As a guitar amp, I would expect more satisfactory results.

After researching more info, I think I'll stick with the setup I have now. None of the battery powered amps I've seen offer enough volume for my needs. Much appreciated!

Actually, I've used the Boss Dual Cube Bass LX for music-circles and it worked fine. Don't expect miracles, but in mycase, it was a kind of celtic-style song list, so I was able to run with a bit more midrange...

Your HD15 is more than enough for the job....The Boss is very expensive for what it is.
