la bam Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 New Bass Headphone Amp Day. So, I'm selling my RM500 and wanted something to still use for practice. I didnt fancy a mixer to connect all my amps, bass, etc together, and dont like the hassle of plugging in 3 things, cables and power etc. Plus the headphone lead always ties me to the unit anyway. Then I saw this! Loved the concept. Rechargeable battery. Aux input. Headphone socket. EQ. Jack/DI out, usb out for recording and charging, and overall volume control. So, I picked one up and flippin eck it's small! About the same size as the none fingers part of your hand and as deep! Had a quick blast - sounds very good, very solid sound, even through my cheap practice bass. This will be brilliant alongside a phone or mp3 player. Just put them in your pocket, plug headphones in and roam around playing without a care in the world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxnard Montalvo Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Yep, really impressed with mine, too. So convenient that I find it impossible come up with excuses to not practice. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Love mine too - unbeatable. One thing they don't tell you - the green charging light. One would assume that when this goes out the battery is fully charged. Nope. When the green light goes out, you'll get about 30-40 minutes of play time. You need to charge for around 8-10 hours to get the full playback time. The battery is a 9v rechargeable on so can be swapped out when required and it makes an excellent tiny audio interface too, complete with that Ashdown signature sound. Mine came with a little stick-on belt clip too and a nice velvety pouch. mmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I love it. It's definitely a great pre amp sound, rather than just a headphone amp. I got the velvet pouch, but no belt clip etc, but I bought a little electricians pouch from b&q and that fits everything in there. Yeh, I'd read an earlier post about the charging, so left it over night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceBass3901 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I clicked into this thread to put precisely what @Muppet has already put. Great little unit which I have found excellent as a practice tool and a recording interface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB connected to PC. my DAW recognises it as a generic input device and works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I've not seen these before, but looks like exactly what I need, might look into getting one in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
