That could be a number of problems, however it's most like your input jack on the bass. Take the pickguard off and make sure all the wires are soldered onto something, if they are try replacing the input jack. Also make sure that your lead is working perfectly and TURN UP THE Bass Guitar AND AMP!!! I know it sounds silly, but people do it!

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.
For the most part, no. The only reason there are separate amps for basses and guitars is to maximize sound quality. It is possible though to ruin the sound in a guitar amp by pushing it to it's limits with a bass. The amp may not be able to handle the larger wavelengths and lower frequencies of a bass. If the volume is kept to a minimum, though, this is less likely to happen.
Actually, you can play both bass and guitar on any amplifier. But to produce a better and lower sound for bass, you need a special amplifier for it. I am not sure that there is an amplifier that can play bass and guitar with equal quality.
This should not be. Have you opened the little sound on the very top. Open it and you will hear the sound. It looks like little arrow. It also allows you to make the sound lower or louder.
Yes, you can plug a guitar into a bass amp, but the sound may not be optimal as bass amps are designed to amplify lower frequencies. The guitar's higher frequencies may not be accurately reproduced, resulting in a less balanced sound.
Yes, you can plug a bass into a guitar amp, but the sound quality may not be optimal. Bass amps are designed to handle the lower frequencies of a bass guitar, providing better sound quality and preventing damage to the amp. Using a guitar amp for a bass may result in distorted or muddy sound due to the amp's inability to properly handle the bass frequencies.
Yes, you can plug a bass into a guitar amp, but it may not produce the best sound quality due to differences in the instruments' frequencies and power handling capabilities.
It is generally safe to plug a bass into a guitar amp, but it may not produce the best sound quality. The amp may not be able to handle the lower frequencies of the bass, potentially causing damage to the amp over time. It is recommended to use a bass amp for optimal performance.

To make an electric guitar sound acoustic, you can use an acoustic simulator pedal or plug-in that mimics the sound of an acoustic guitar. This pedal or plug-in alters the tone of the electric guitar to replicate the warm and natural sound of an acoustic guitar.

It is difficult to find an acoustic bass which resonates at sufficient volume to be worth it. That said, an acoustic-electric will make it easier to practice as you won't need to plug it in to hear yourself playing at home. They each have a slightly different sound, but if you can already practice with a full size amp without worrying about the volume disturbing others you will generally find it cheaper to go with an electric bass.

To safely plug a bass into a guitar amp, use a direct box or a bass preamp to match the impedance levels, and avoid turning the volume too high to prevent damage to the amp and speakers.
Well if your computer doesnt have a built in speaker system, you can only use headphones or buds to hear it, unless you buy a speaker system that you can plug in.
