Bass Player Needs Speakers

[Nick_]

I play the bass guitar and electric guitar and recently purchased a digital amp. I love messing with its effects, but I do not like wearing headphones while listening. What are the best speakers for someone who wants to just hear guitar?

not one bit... i said I had a digital amp that means it is on my computer, and that i want speakers to output the sound.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but Behringer is the last amp manufacturer I'll ever recommend to anyone.

yeah...so you can connect your computer to the guitar amp and it will output sounds...

thats what "amp" means

amp = amplifier

i wasnt recommending that specific one, just any guitar amp

but tbh behringer has improved a ton over the past half decade and their products now are really good budget options

especially their inuke amps, those are the best in the industry

Any self-respecting musician will opt for an amp from the likes of Marshall, Fender, Vox, ENGL, Mesa Boogie, Peavey etc...before Behringer.

Yes but amps are highly specialized for the instrument for which they are designed.  They heavily colour the sound - just try playing a song through a guitar amp and you'll see what I mean   If OP's got amp modeling software, he's going to need/want speakers to reproduce that sound accurately, and not colour it more.

you didnt specify what kind of speakers you wanted, and since you just mentioned "guitar" I assumed you would want something to reproduce guitar sounds...

 

maybe if you said something like "studio moniors" I could give you a different answer

 

but since you would rather just be rude with profanity, then good luck finding one yourself.

Speaker(s) =/= amplifier

This was unnecessary.

uh, all speakers need an amplifier to work...

passive speakers dont magically produce sound with no power

 

a "guitar amp" is just the name of a speaker+amplifier combined and specifically made to reproduce frequencies that a guitar does

it also comes with additional controls for bass, treble, reverb, etc...

 

so asking for "speakers" is actually asking for "speakers+amplifier" aka powered or active speakers

because buying a pair of passive speakers will be completely useless if you're trying to produce sound from a PC or guitar or phone or anything else

 

 

the one on the left is an active/powered speaker

aka speaker+amplifier

 

the one on the right is a passive speaker and needs a dedicated amp

 

they are not the same thing

either way, there needs to be an amp involved somewhere, and when someone asks for speakers you assume they want the speakers to make sound

in which case they need some kind of amp

Guitar amp modeling software exists, you know?

what do you not understand about a guitar amp just being an amp and a speaker that plays frequencies that a guitar reproduces??

I've been playing guitar for over a decade; I know what a guitar amplifier is.

 Neither of us are wrong; you're just assuming.
