gypsyjazzer Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Is there any difference in the circuitry between an amp that is made especially for a Bass Guitar and one that is made especially for a Double Bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) I think the differences are all in the features they include in the preamp and EQ stages. Double bass specific amps like Acoustic Image will tend to have very high impedance inputs (1-10MOhms) to work well with piezo pickups and EQ which is relatively neutral when the knobs are centred. They also tend to include things like highpass or notch filters which can help with feedback prevention. There are plenty of amps which do a fine job with both instruments, and the features above can always be added with an outboard preamp (Fishman, Headway etc.) if needed.
