Hi 

Just a bit of fun.

Here is my one

This little amp stand is so useful. Best £35 I ever spent. Fits in my bag and angles my amp up a lot so I can hear it better. Perfect for those tight little performance spaces

What useful stuff do you have that has not cost you a fortune?

These are meant to be surprisingly good:

Add bluetooth capability via an adapter in the aux input:

I have one of those little BT adapters connected to my amp, I added an adhesive magnet to it so it doesn't move around.

 

 

EDIT : This one is a quid more and has bluetooth built in:

That looks exactly like what I want. Cheers

Black Star BEAM and Positive Grid Spark are great for this. They are multi instrument amps, recording interfaces, have loads of effects, just use as a v good quality Bluetooth speaker too.... They're fantastic as a practice tool.

Those both look great, especially the Spark combo. Thanks

Why not buy an amp with headphone out and use Bluetooth headphones with the adapter? I do this with great results on my Peavey Microbass. 

 Supernaut. Cool name. Amazing album. 

That could be a good option, as I have an amp/combo already. What do you mean 'with the adaptor"? 

I am thinking more about sending the phone via bluetooth to an amp then plugging in headphones if needed. I may just stick to playing through a computer with headphones, but am looking to see if there is a lazy person method for noodling in front of the TV (sound down of course)

Hi

What amps do you guys use for practice? 

I am looking for a small amp that has bluetooth. Cheap, easy, small. Battery powered would be ideal

This is perfect but too much money for me to spend on noodling while watching TV

I use EA amps and cabs (now discontinued) EA micro head is 500W at around 3lbs while the 10" cab with a neo driver is pretty light too. I never really need much more but if I do I have a 4 ohm 12" Whizzy Cab. They were the best for double bass for some time. In fact their iamp 350 head is still considered one of the best amps every made for DB (heavy though)

Sorry sold 

i forgot to mark as sold

Lovely,

Only used a handful of times. Easy to fit and remove.

This was another of my pickup experiments that I don't have time for

It has a good body sound and would probably suit bowing well.

Price includes postage

J-Tone Big Bass Pickup

Currently around £45 on Ebay

Pretty much a Bass Max clone. 

Strong punchy sound and good feedback rejection

Good build quality, and easy to fit with some wood or card shims

Element is about 3mm-4mm thick

I tried it for a couple of gigs then took it off, mainly due to trying other pickups and not being able to have them all fitted at the same time. 

Price included postage

Purchased from Thomann - current price of £159. (more when I bought it though 🙂)

I had listed this a few months ago as it wasn't getting any use but then decided to try it out again just in case. It just doesn't work out on my bass for some reason, although sounded great on some bigger gigs with my Fishman preamp. (but I am far too lazy to take the preamp around with me all the time) 

Easy to fit but you need bridge adjusters. 

boxed and as new

price includes postage of around £5 tracked 

you have dm
