ZenBasses Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) So I am going silent.. Not that I have had complaints from neighbours.. Ihave just had my EBS fafner 1 serviced and it is again sounding amazing.. My birthday is just round the corner and I have ordered a pair of these as a present (the joys of getting older and people have no idea what to buy you). [url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00L1LXOWS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1432324951&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=grado+headphones&dpPl=1&dpID=51F9cgGBXNL&ref=plSrch[/url] They sounded amazing when I tired a pair at richer sounds. Compared them to some akgs sennhisers and some boss and these were far and away the better headphones. So I want to plug in my bass and a aux sound sourece.i have cheap 16 channel mixing desk and can use the balanced output from the ebs. The desk however is cheap and very noisy. The tracks are going on the sliders and are cutting out. Now I don't really have the use for a desk anymore. Can anyone recommend some nifty little unit that's not a lot of money that will. Be perfect for this situation. Would be so cool to have the portability that I can practice in the living room or bedroom or take it when I am away with work.. But this is not a deal breaker. And I guess not using the ebs in that situation, just a bass and a sound source for use with headphones might be a different beast all together. I am looking at a sub £150 budget.... Many thanks in advance for any contribution. Edited May 22, 2015 by ZenBasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenBasses Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 This ticks the the box and is perfect for what I had in mind. Could even stretch to the next model up with the expression pedal. A great shout and I've found them new for £45.00 Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeEvans Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 That looks ace and amazingly cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Its an awesome bit of kit.......even before you consider its the same price as 3 sets of strings. Edited May 24, 2015 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Just picked up a second hand B1on, I had a bit of a mess about with it this afternoon and it's great, I actually prefer it to both of the more expensive versions from Zoom I've owned!

[/quote] Yes, I've had both the B3 and the MS-60B pedal and prefer this. It's easier to use, you can have more effects at once and it sounds great. Also you can plug in an mp3 player or phone and practice silently with headphones. No-brainer for the cash. You could also use it as a preamp with a power amp if you were so inclined.

ZenBasses Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I wish I hadn't sold my boss gt6b... I really want to save up and buy another one.. I am taken by one of these.. It would be perfect.

ZenBasses Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 The zoom however has to be a purchased anyhow.. For the price it seems like a very useful bit of kit at a silly price It's a done deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
