Your bass doesn't make sound when you plug it into the amp how do you fix it?

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!

∙ 13y agoErm . . . it depends what you mean by quiet. Do you mean in at a rehearsal? If so then Id say you'd need a more powerful amp.
If the bass is quiet in any amp could be a circuitry issue. Also, if the bass has active pickups maybe the battary has gone.
It could be many things, but this is the best i can do with the info ive got!
-reply to whoever answered this-
Im just starting out, and my friend who plays guitar told me to losten the those things that have the magnets on them that send the signals to the amp, yeah the hammer ons, those things, with a screwdriver, and it got alot louder.
And by quiet, I ment, impossible to hear even when you stick your head next to it.
<to the second person to answer)
lol u must be new t the guitar cuz the things u are talking about are called pickups not hammer ons. hammer ons are when you play a note and hit another note hard enough that, that note starts to be played with out strumming. for example, i hit the 5th fret on the a string with strumming with my first finger, then i hit the 7th fret on the A string hard with my third finger with out strumming and when u hit it hard it makes a sound kinda like u strummed the note but still sounds a bit different.

∙ 14y agoHave you tried turning up the volume, plugging it in and making sure the wire is in the right hole? if your guitar is rather old, then maybe it needs fixing

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.
Would it be a bad idea to plug a bass in a guitat 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.
Is there a amplifier that plays both bass and guitar?
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.

Electric bass guitar or acoustic semi electric bass guitar Which one is better?
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.

How can you hear sound from headphone from your PC?
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.
