Can it be used to practice bass guitar at low volume?

Yes, but it would likely be only at very low volume levels thereby defeating the audible low frequency needed to produce a decent bass sound. the speaker is not designed for bass.

Yes. Im taking advanced guitar lessons. My instructor has a bass guitar and he plugs in his to tune and play sometimes. I have a small office where we practice and I don't have to raise the volume past 2-3 and it sounds amazing... It really is a good amp for practice or just playing ...

Yes, as long as the neck is less than 3-1/2 inches wide (may have trouble with 5 string bass)

I've used this amp only in closed rooms. When the volume is too high it tends to get distortioned. I don't recommend it for busking.

Any bass amp can be used for guitar, but you won't get the benefit of the higher frequencies produced by a normal guitar. And vice versa with a bass into a guitar amp. I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes....but this amp isn't designed to rock the house.....it's a great practice amp for smaller spaces.

You can practice with it, but very little sound. It's not necessary, but it's really made to be played through an amp. It would be the same if you didn't plug in an electric bass guitar. Thanks Sam.

Don't see why not. I know a lot of guys with guitar rigs that they use with bass and they all sound killer.

Not sure how well it will sound with a bass. This is very small in size and lightweight. It works fine for guitar.

Yes, but only at a very, VERY, low volume. Good enough to make it audible for learning songs or working things out... But not loud enough to play alongside an acoustic guitar.

well if can use for guitar, I don't see why won't work for bass guitar. yes it clear sound.. I'm very happy with it.

i think you can use it as mid bass. the speaker has not a lot of watts to it....

assuming that you have an XLR output on your bass amp, this should work great.

I don't see why not. For one note. It can barely cope with a guitar so chances are the low E will rattle it so bad the quarter or so size speaker will go on hunger strike.

you probably ran into the "tone weeny mafia", you won't lose much if any...and it it would only apply to bass response. for instance it is practice to put the big woofers on the ground of a PA system as the floor helps the bass resonate. a guitar is a midrange instrument and i highly doubt any negative effect would happen on your tone. if it did then you could just increase your bass EQ. in a live gig i would assume you would be mic'ed anyway meaning the "amp on floor" would be a moot point anyway.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

I dont use it for the bass. You would probably blow it up. Look into a cube amp of sorts it will be more money but what you need.

I've used it for bass a handful of times. It does okay for bass if you simply want to HEAR the instrument, but the tone circuit was not designed for bass. It doesn't really have the low end to cut through the mix. This is a fantastic practice amp for guitars, and the on-board effects allow for a lot of creativity in the tone. I'd say this thing can handle bass, but my advice is to buy this for guitar and buy an actual bass amp for bass. Perhaps the Orange Crush 25w bass amp, or a Hartke B300 is also a really nice option for small spaces and being on a budget.
