The zoom B1 4's output jack converts to a headphone out when you insert a standard headphone jack. It has and aux in so you can play along with tracks you want to learn, and it also has a variable tempo drum machine with generic drum patterns for different music styles. I definitely recommend it for practicing without bugging neighbors or roommates.

I put my chin on the shoulder of my bass and let it boom in my head.

"Unless you have a chromebook or something weird"... -Cries in Chromebook tears-

I bought the zoom b1 4 instead of a practice amp. My partner loved it! The guys at the music store did not believe me when I did that you can plug headphones directly into a stomp box.

I've been using the Darkglass X Ultra for about a year now for practice. It works great because it also has an AUX in to be able to plug in your computer or phone to play along.

Never knew my Rumble 500 did that 😅 Thanks! 🙌

Happy to help!

You can always put your ear against the body of the bass. A little awkward, but it works.

I use DAW because my scarlet 4i4 came with free abelton live. That's a big plus.

I love your videos, they're super helpfull, thank you for doing them

Greetings! Excelent recomendations! I've been using the zoom b2.1u multieffect pedal. It's a bit old but does the same job as a USB interface!

If I didn't live in shitty Brazil, where the dollar-to-real conversion is nuts because we have a terrible president, I'd totally become a Patron and request a Jack Casady preset because I can't seem to get his sound! But also because you've been inspiring me a lot lately!

Vox only lasted a year😔

Mine lasted almost a year. But I liked it so much I bought another one. Trying to be more careful, they’re pretty delicate.

I’ve had mine a couple years and I love it. Just wish it wasn’t made from cheap toy plastic.

Good topic! I use AKGs for my quiet time rehearsals... Not the best out there, but they've lasted for years, and they don't fart out... My Rumble 500 is way to loud for night practice, or any Bass Amp I presume... My wife does bitch about it, she's Country, and I'm Hard Rock and Metal...lol

Boss waza air bass best quite practice ever.

I connected bass to active studio monitor.But output is low. Whether an audiointerface solve it

There are plenty of preamps thar do the same this, yeah it's a bit pricier but the sound quality is so much better

I have akg 240s for my headphones they work pretty well

Insightful ! Thx.

Thankyou.

I have the Rumble 25, last month I tried the headphone way to practice at home but it sounded awful, I used a Razer Gaming headphones (Razer Kraken), you think I need a better headphones or you think the jack have a malfunction? Playing music from Spotify sounds amazing with those headphones but on the Rumble just dont.

I saw the thumbnail and instantly thought "anything to save my relationship with bass"

Got a preset for Lemmy Kilmister's bass ?

I use a Nux mighty plug which works pretty well, more expensive than the Vox but in my opinion much better in every aspects. They released a new version but I'm fine with the one I got. The app is very decent. Gotta get a new headphone though ( I hope 80 ohm works well on it, been using a 69 ohm random gaming headphone so far, volume is fine ). But I want to experience with compressors and pedals so next step is maybe something like the green Joyo. I really don't buy into mini amps with speakers, 10 watts and such, it's way too weak I think. On the one I tested, I basically could hear my dry strings almost as clearly as the sound out of the speakers, be careful with youtube reviews not using it in real conditions aka what it sounds like in a room. But maybe I'll find an affordable second hand, more powerful and premium option to play at home from time to time without a headphone as it's quite pleasing, without going to the studio. But people seem quite divided about small amps, even on the higher watts end of it.

I got a donner headphones amp it junky but u can practice with it it doesn’t have to be high quality sound but I wouldn’t recommend it spend the extra $25 for something else vox or black star anything but donner I have it and I’m stuck with it forever now.

Hey guys! I bought some headphones to practice bass with. I got the Sony 7506s. When I plug my bass in I hear static and buzzing. Is that simply inevitable or is there something I am missing. Thanks everybody!

You need a headphone with integrated preamp like the VOX VGH

what about slapping?

Is audio technica m20x worth it to help me practicing in bass?

Would in ear monitors work as good as those headphones?

What do you think about the Apogee Jam+ for an audio interface?

I hear they're nice, but I don't have any firsthand experience.

Need some help here. I’m rather new with electric bass. I already have the Jabra 85h elite , which are very good headphones in general, but when I plug them in my Rumble 40 and an additional audio source, (iphone, ipad) , the sound becomes just weird and not as clear and really different from when it’s just the amp itself. Is it that the headphones themselves are not really meant for bass playing? Does it have anything to do with the quality of the wires you are using for both headphones and audio source? Do I have to totally change the settings on my amp and bass (fender active pickup jazz bass) when I’m using headphones? Any help would be appreciated thanks 🫡

What I would probably do is have your headphones connected to just the amp, and then connect your music source to the amp as well. I wonder if the issue there is having multiple sources, so try getting all of it into the amp rather than connecting the headphones to multiple sources.

@@ampthebassplayer They’re pretty much the only ones I have other than wireless earbuds, which are unpluggable. I mean I’d buy the Audiotechica ones but I don’t even know if that’s the problem. As far as I know the Jabra ones are not a gimmicky bassy model like the Beats. They’re like 400 CAN $ headphones. One thing though, the cable I use for the audio source is total crap. I wonder if that contributes to the weird change in sonority when I plug the audio in… it goes into lower volume and just sounds off. The cable for the headphones is a new digiflex one. Seems decent enough.

How do you practice to a song if you where headphones? Can you have both the bass sound and song in the headphones at the same time?

Yes, with any of these methods, you’ll get both your bass and backing track going to your headphones at the same time.

I have a tip for getting rid of the mole on your forehead. I had a mole right under my cheek and removed it using the advice I got from an Indian lady. She recommended horse hair, but I didn't have access to any, so I went to a hobby/crafts store and bought some 'invisible' string, which is like very fine nylon fishing string. Make a square knot and put it on the mole as close to the base as you can and make another square not, but not too tight. Replace it 1-2 times a week and it will shrivel, dry up and fall off in about a month depending on the size of the mole. I was very skeptical at first, but I am so glad to be rid of it. I only wish that I knew about this earlier in life, because the older I got, the bigger the mole became. There will be a circular scar but it's barely noticeable and much better looking than the mole. Good luck.

What the fuck

I have a bass guitar and a Bluetooth phone with songs on it. No holes on my phone to connect a wire to play along to songs with headphones. I want to use a headphone to play my bass and hear my music through the same headphone at the same time. Can the vox plug 2 do all that? Does the vox have Bluetooth capabilities?
