Evil Undead Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I love using Amplitube (with iRig) on my ipad for practising bass, but hate listening to it through headphones, and hate having cables all over the place. I wish someone would invent an ipad dock with built in decent speakers that I could just dock my ipad in. It would have something like irig or apogee jam etc built in to the unit, and the unit would also have a volume control and a ¼ jack built in to plug the bass into. I dream… The technology must be possible, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Something a little bit like this maybe? http://www.alesis.com/iodock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yeah, but with decent speakers built in. Maybe a 1x8 underneath it or something, like a roland cube but better. an iCube haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What about a wireless solution via bluetooth or similar..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Do you think it's possible to connect a cab to the alesis thing? Would it even power a small cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackers Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 the roland cube amps have mono and stereo inputs. I use the stereo in to play along to music from my iPad with and without headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramirez Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Why not try connecting the iPad to a small stage monitor/powered PA cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumps Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) You want that dock above but with a block rocker attached, my mate has one & they are fantastic for outdoor parties as they are battery driven & the battery does last at top volume as well.

Whilst accepting that there are, perhaps, more elegant solutions, there's no life-threatening urgency here. You don't 'need' to improve on what you have, which is already xx% better than that available to even the best equipped folks a few years ago. Getting the practice in is far more important than a couple of cables, however inconvenient they might be. Advice of the day: be content with what you have, and forget about there being 'green grass' just over the fence. There ain't. Respect; no malice intended.

Evil Undead Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi Douglas Thanks, I appreciate your post, but I'm not looking for anything new, or to replace what I have. I really like my setup. I'm just pondering over what might be possible, or what would be really cool in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Check. Pleased to hear that, Mel. Keep on keeping on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
