Horizontalste Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I've been using a GB10 Bass Trainer for practicing at work lately and while I'm impressed with it I think the lack of a line in lets it down. So, what I was thinking of doing is getting a double 1/4' adapter and a 1/4' to 3.5mm and stacking them in order to run my Bass and my phone (Spotify) through the same channel. Anyone know if this would work or should I just get myself down Maplins and give it a go. Cheer's Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telebass Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Worth a shot. The disappearing line in annoyed me when the mp3 based trainers were introduced. I still have my original CD-BT 1 Mk2 and use it just because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizontalste Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thought I'd update this should anyone be interested. It didn't work, I could get great sound from my phone through the bass trainer but as soon as I plugged both the bass & the phone in together I lose the bass.

JapanAxe Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Your bass is trying to drive the output of your phone - and failing! You could try putting a 1k resistor in line with each source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
