Headphones as an alternative to a practice amp

[skankdelvar]

Is it just me or is the sight of Victor Wooten with a Vox logo on his bonce just a bit ... incongruous?

Likewise. Way to come in being super rude.

Me also, rude, stroppy, and impatient were words that crossed my mind reading this thread

Something makes me think we have a couple of banned members opening new accounts. The other stroppy git banned recently, also had only a few posts.

He did stamp his little foot rather, didn't he?

With an active bass you don't necessarily need a headphone amp: in the late 70s when I was living in Germany playing the US bases, I would occasionally plug a set of (passive) cans straight into my Stingray for practice purposes, and it worked. Quiet, but better than playing acoustically.

Having forgotten all about that possibility in the intervening decades, for most of which I wasn't playing bass, I just had a go with my Ibanez SR1805 - works a bloomin' treat, and I'll use that in the future.

I've got the Vox Headphones and they do the job very nicely. You can also plug in an iPod or similar to play along with backing tracks etc. All in all a good bit of kit for the money. You can also use them as stand alone headphone too.

Agree with this. A Pandora is all I ever play through at home.
