Richard R Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 So next question then - what amplification do people take? The travel bass I have is an Aria Sinsonido, so headphones plug straight in. Do others play unplugged, or with a little headphone amp, or a tiny cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a Dunlop headphone amp, it's the size of a pedal. It’s a bit crap if I am honest but works ok for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually wake up early and my wife doesn't, good way to spend a couple of hour before breakfast. I just pay it unplugged and use my laptop for the songs I need to practice. Quite enough for my wife to stay asleep a few feet away. Sounds perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tiny, has built-in multi-effects (if needed), tuner, drum patterns and jack out. Even has an aux in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Spicer Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Bass in an SKB bass safe. Chuck it in the hold. Take your laptop/phone/iPad and an iRig style headphone to 1/4 jack converter or a small audio interface in your hand luggage and you’re sorted for listening to what ever you need and hearing your bass back. I take my bass wherever I can if I’m away, even staying at friends. 10 mins maintenance a day keeps me fighting fit and ready. If I don’t play 1 day I feel it the next. If I don’t play for a week I have a lot of catching up to do! T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensenmann Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 My last holidays without bass were 21 years ago. That was a 2 month trecking tour in Patagonia. Other than that I always find space in the trunk of the car to fit a bass inside. It would not be holidays if I had no bass around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, it meant I got in an hour's playing this morning that I wouldn't have had if I hadn't have had if I hadn't brought a bass on holiday with me. Same again tomorrow!

Teebs Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Have safely arrived at 'Bambi Villa', Northumberland, for a weeks' bass practice (and holiday things with Mrs Teebs ). The jazz bass seems to have interested the local wildlife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give her her full title. It's the long-suffering Mrs Teebs. And not a jury in the world would convict her given the extenuating circumstances (these being that she's the long-suffering Mrs Teebs....). Have a lovely time in Northumberland. And try not to bother the wildlife. PS Nice looking spot, btw. Will expect a tripadvisor-stylee thread to report on it when you get back Edited June 15, 2019 by Skinnyman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
