Brilliant demo👍 I'm suprised it didn't explode into a million pieces putting bass through it...but since there are bass pre-sets, they knew it could handle the heavy lifting.
It’s amazing what modern amps can do and I really like the sound. I had a Yamaha THR 10II which has great guitar tones but I didn’t like the bass model at all.
Very nice review! Good review. There is nothing similar on the market. The big problem is that the main reason for buying is the main con. The sound is poor even for practicing.
Beautiful demo, thank you. You actually helped in my decision to have one. I am playing now absolutely everywhere without limits, without having necessarily to deal heavy amps and power sockets. Would you suggest a good custom setting for bass with a clean sound to store in preset?
I tried the Spark Mini with a bass in a music store today and even at medium volume the amp gave up on the E string. I can't imagine it working any better with the Spark Go. But maybe I just need to try it out.
Well these are very tiny speakers, even in the Mini. You have to be really careful with bass, gain and volume and a bit of compression helps a lot to get more volume out of it.
This seems like it would be helpful for when I have my acoustic bass and am jamming with a few other acoustic guitars. Sometimes I need a little help to keep up with their volume. I wonder how it would sound in that application?
It's great with headphones. I don't think there's a difference to the bigger Sparks when using headphones. You have the headphone out an a USB Audio option for outputs, that's it.
@@basstelkeller thank you for your reply and for the information. As far as I can tell from the specs on the Positive Grid site, the headphone jack can also be used as a line out. Is this accurate? Have you tried that? Thanks again
Hallo, aufgrund deines Channel Namens gehe ich mal davon aus, dass ich Deutsch schreiben kann. Ich habe mir vor kurzem einen Kala U-Bass gekauft und keinerlei Erfahrung mit Bässen. Könnte man diesen kleinen Spark auch mit dem Akustik-Bass verwenden oder ist der speziell für elektrische Bässe. Liebe Grüße und danke für das Video.
Hi, rein technisch funktioniert das auch mit dem U-Bass (ich nehme an es ist ein akustischer U-Bass mit Tonabnehmer?) Allerdings macht der kleine Amp den Bass nicht merklich lauter (habe das mit meinem Harley Benton CLU Bass getestet). Wenn’s also lauter werden soll, als der Bass akustisch ist, würde ich eher auf einen etwas größeren Amp setzen.
@@basstelkeller Hui, das ging ja mehr als schnell. Mein Akustik-Bass mit Tonabnehmer ist schon SEHR leise. Ein bisschen lauter würde mir reichen. Ich spiele ja noch sehr falsch. 😂 Schönen Abend noch.
The speaker's tiny. There's only so much bass you're gonna be able to squeeze out of it. Probably better off just getting a good smaller Ampeg or Hartke, or whatever.
Depends on what you’re looking for. This thing is much more portable than any Ampeg or Hartke. So for traveling it’s great. For a practice amp which stays at home you should get something bigger.
Just ordered this. Perfect for me: a guitarist who plays a bit of bass and has money/space for one tiny budget amp and can’t play loud at home. Thanks for your tips
I'm a guitar player, and that's a good demonstration that the Go does a good job in handling low frequencies.
Brilliant demo👍

Best review on Bass using this particular little amp - nice, and concise.
Thanks!
Thank you for this; it has been the best amp demonstration so far. More people need to see this,
PS this made me get one. LOL :)
Thank you for watching!
good playing, good review, you're a good dude
Thanks!

Thank you - very helpful.
You‘re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice video!
Thank you!
Mine arrives next week...........I will let you know. : )
Have fun!
it has been 2 weeks, please let me know now
@@jetplanevanman33 First impressions meh……
@@TheChef470 and with a good headphone? With my guitars it made a huge difference.
Beautiful demo, thank you. You actually helped in my decision to have one.
I am playing now absolutely everywhere without limits, without having necessarily to deal heavy amps and power sockets.
Would you suggest a good custom setting for bass with a clean sound to store in preset?
Thanks for watching! I‘d start with your favorite bass amp model and add a bit compression.
I tried the Spark Mini with a bass in a music store today and even at medium volume the amp gave up on the E string. I can't imagine it working any better with the Spark Go. But maybe I just need to try it out.

I think it's probably too small for that. I tried it with my ukulele bass and you don't really hear the amp over the acoustic sound.
Awesome demo! Very helpful. Where can I find that first jazz bass?
Thanks!
The J Bass in the video is one that I built myself from parts. It has a pretty heavy ash body, Tonerider pickups and a Wilkinson bridge.
Can you play together with just an accoustic guitar? For Like a little Outdoor jam? Or would you Go for the spark mini? Chers
@@paulgrote6796 I would definitely go for the mini for playing with any other instruments.
What is the recommended headphone impedance? Will regular phone headphones work?
There‘s nothing mentioned in the specs. I don’t see why it shouldn’t work with phone headphones.
Hey man, did you have Gemini Pickups in that Rick?
@@SkiingAintCrime Yes indeed! Great sounding pickups.
awesome!!! thanks for the fast reply - which ones, the tsunami or the waveriders? thinkin about getting them but idk which one

How does it sound using headphones? (instead of the speaker) Also is there an output jack of any kind?
It's great with headphones. I don't think there's a difference to the bigger Sparks when using headphones. You have the headphone out an a USB Audio option for outputs, that's it.
@@basstelkeller thank you for your reply and for the information. As far as I can tell from the specs on the Positive Grid site, the headphone jack can also be used as a line out. Is this accurate? Have you tried that? Thanks again
@@danloaniI haven’t tried the headphone out as a line out but since this output can also be used for the Spark Cab, I think it should work.

@@basstelkeller Right. Lugging around amps is a pain, even smaller amps.
The ap makes this thing worth a lot too.

@@noahtomato3515 I'm in a similar position. This amp is definitely an attractive option
On and on about nothing
says who?
