How do you make a bass amp sound like an electric guitar amp?

If you are using a guitar amp as a pre-amp to a bass amp (plugging your guitar into a guitar amp, and then patching the guitar amp to the bass amp), do not do this. Bass, acoustic guitar, and vocals (mics) are low impedence, where guitars are high impedence. You can very easily damage your equipment doing this sort of thing. If you are trying to get guitar sounds out of a bass amp, in my opinion, it's next to impossible. There is only one type of bass amp that I know of that you can accomplish this with...Ampeg has a series of bass amps with "switchable tweeters", meaning that they come equipped with tweeters, but you can turn them in order to use rig as a bass amp, and turn them on in order to play an acoustic guitar thru the bass amp. Since an acoustic guitar is low impedence, this works fairly well. You can also plug in an electric to this setup, even tho an electric guitar is high impedence...It's possible to plug in a high impedence instrument into a low impedence amp, but it's not advisable to plug in a low impedence instrument into a high impedence amp.

What instruments are in the cave by mumford and sons?

They use a very wide variety of instruments. Marcus primarily plays the acoustic guitar, bass drum, and tambourine with his feet using kick pedals, but I've also seen him play a full drumset and I've seen him play piano, mandolin and resonator guitar. Ben primarily plays piano or keyboard and the accordian, as well as small percussion like shakers. Winston generally plays banjo and resonator guitar, ocassionally the electric bass, and on very rare occasions, the wonderful instrument that is the banjolin (mandolin/banjo combination). Ted plays the upright bass and electric bass and drums for a few tracks, such as Thistle and Weeds. All four members sing. They also have a few people come in on horns and violins for songs like White Blank Page and Winter Winds. They are all very well rounded musicians.
