Playing bass out of my Kemper Kabinet through a Kemper Head (not powered)?

algorithm1010 · Feb 28th 2022

I'm a guitarist but just got a new bass.

Can I play the bass out of my Kemper Kabinet through my Kemper Head (not powered)? I know the Kemper Head is fine to handle the bass so the real question is should I go out of the Kemper Kabinet from the Head? Should I do it? Is it not recommended? If not, presumably it would be a better recommendation to go through a bass cabinet from my Kemper Head?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

You need a power amp to drive any cabinet unless you use a powered speaker cabinet.

Bass requires a lot of power, much more than a guitar rig.

I use powered monitors. 12's for guitar, 15's for bass. Sometimes both for Bass.

You need a power amp, either in the PROFILER (PowerHead, PowerRack), cabinet (KEMPER Power Kabinet) or external. The KEMPER Power Kabinet would be the perfect match fror your PROFILER Head. for guitar. For bass it may work at lower volumes, but not on stage at higher volumes.
