I did this repeatedly a few ago with a cheapo sound blaster, and the only
problem I had when the input was too high was that the sound clipped. But it
didn't do any damage to the hardware. All I had to do has turn the knob down
on the bass, and the sound was actually not bad. Ok, it was on a windows
system, but I think the OS is irrelevant here.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] plugging a bass guitar in a linux box
Hi everybody,
I have a bass I'd like to plug in my Debian box. I know lots of people
do it routinely with guitar, but I'm worried about the possible side
effects on my hardware. I know that using a bass on a guitar amp would
blow the thing off, but I don't know if it's just the guitar amp speaker
which is not suited for such frequencies or if it's the electronic which
suffer.
From what I understand, the "line in"
soundcard input shouldn't have any
problem dealing with the bass input, but
problems might arise with the
output (ATM this would be my stereo). I don't know enough about sound
processing to be sure my assumptions are right.
Anybody has any idea/knowledge to share ?
thanks in advance.
