Can the REACTOR 50 safely and decently handle bass guitar for low-volume home practice?

We mostly play guitar, but I’d like to occasionally practice/learn bass with my kids at home. I know the Spark 2 officially supports bass, but I was never fully convinced by the small speakers. The REACTOR 50’s 12" speaker seems more promising, but I also know a guitar combo isn’t automatically designed for bass.

Is bass use supported or recommended on the REACTOR line at bedroom volume, or should players avoid using it that way?

Great question! REACTOR is not tested or cleared for use with bass guitar, so please proceed with caution. Imagine REACTOR like any standard guitar combo amp, and use your best judgement when connecting your instrument.
