gjones Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 A bit of wire with the correct connectors on either end would be a good place to start. Take pictures of the output on the bass amp and the aux input of your stereo, then show them to the nice man at maplins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Headphone to cd/aux input. It's what I do with my tablet sometimes. It should work, might not sound great if your combo hasn't got or has the tweeter switched off. You just have to establish what size jacks they are Edited September 8, 2015 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrismanbass Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 you can't connect and aux in on your stereo to an input on your practice amp as it won't work i assume that you're using your stereo to play cd's and the like which means you need to come out of an output of your stereo (probably the headphone out if it has one) and in to your bass amp in which case you need a mini jack cable to whatever connector the cd/tape in is on your bass amp (at a guess i would say either phono or mini jack) one of these cables should work depending on what connectors you're working with (mini jack to phono) [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Mountain-Plated-3-5mm-Phono/dp/B002IRRISK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1441741097&sr=1-1&keywords=phono+to+mini+jack"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Mountain-Plated-3-5mm-Phono/dp/B002IRRISK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1441741097&sr=1-1&keywords=phono+to+mini+jack[/url] (mini jack to mini jack) [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Male-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6EBNU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441741166&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+jack+to+mini+jack+cable"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Male-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6EBNU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441741166&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+jack+to+mini+jack+cable[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
