Hutton Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Can anyone recommend any gadgets/headphones/wee amps which will allow silent or low volume practice. Before anyone says turn your amp down I should say that whatever is used has to be reasonably small. Thanks peeps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) I know some guys in a band who use this thing and say it's cool, but I haven't used it myself.

Hutton Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sorry, I should have said that it was for solo practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyonbass Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) I have a [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vox-amPlug-Bass-Headphone-Guitar/dp/B001GH4H3W"]Vox Bass Amplug[/url] you can have for fifteen quid posted - should tick the box Edit. Dont worry mods, I've paid the twenty quid! Edited June 18, 2013 by andyonbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Expensive compared to the Vox above but I use a Phil Jones Bass Buddy wired up for bass and iTunes library through headphones or speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) You could get a secondhand cheap 8 channel mixer. Run you tube and whatever gadgets through it (including your tv if you like) and your bass, listen through head phones or through living room speakers connected to the output sockets, even run spare speaker outputs from the auxillaries to the bedroom if you want ! One multi solution piece of kit, play along to whatever you have, won't cost a fortune Edited June 18, 2013 by essexbasscat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 +1for the Amplug, it's not the most versatile tone-wise, but it's very small and convenient, and does the trick. If you connect an iPod, you can even wander round the place... I have a Micro Cube which replaced the Amplug, but it's a lot more cash.

Hutton Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the replies everybody. Much appreciated. Andy has sorted me out with an Amplug. You post up a problem and two hours later it's dealt with. Gotta love basschat! Edited June 18, 2013 by Hutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizontalste Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I recently bought a Tascam Bass Trainer for practicing at work. It's so good I keep missing shouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I use my Zoom B1 with headphones and I get the added bonus of lots of funky sounds to play with they are also fairly cheap second hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Tascam GB-10 bass trainer for me. Great piece of kit for practising without disturbing the household. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm guessing the Roland micro cub RX? been looking at one myself- i'd be interested to hear your opinion on them- at nigh on 200 quid new do you think they're worth it. loud enough to busk for example?
