voiceburg Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 any of you have a bass amp you can run your CD into and slam on a set of headphones and jam along with, I'm trying not to disturb the household to much? I want to get an amp next week and the only brand I found that will do that is Behringer. Any other ideas out there? Thanks PEACE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I suspect you can do this on any amp with an FX loop with a blend control. Alternatively you could use a multitracker or a mixer. I think some of the Ashdown combos have that CD in facility too. Alex Barefaced Ltd - ultra lightweight, high ouput, toneful bass cabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Ampeg has some combos that do this (maybe the BA112, BA115, etc.?). The SWR LA series might also have a CD line-in jack. Try some other manufacturers' websites, I really think that several have practice combo amps with this capability. spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.

davebrownbass Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Sure. The Gallien Krueger MBE 150E has a dedicated circuit for just this purpose. It's a great amp...I use mine all the time...a lot of GK power in a tiny package...about 24 lbs. Of course, the $900 price tag is a chore..but get one used. If you want to spend less...the Korg Pandora's Box for bass does this. The PX4B is over $200...but has built in rhythms, phrase trainer that will record a phrase, slow it down to learn it. It also lets you run a cd through and cancel the cd bass...so you can supply your own. If you look around, you may find the older version, the px3b on closeout. I does about the same thing, has a few less drums, not as many knobs. In addition, the pandora also chains 7 effect boxes together, allowing you to alter the parameters and run them simultaneously...chorus, delay, envelop filter, noise reduction, phasing...reverb, distortion, octaving and stuff like that. It's a blast to play with...I run the batteries down nearly every session. "Let's raise the level of this conversation" -- Jeremy Cohen, in the Picasso Thread.

DanYmaL X Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 I use a Korg Pandora PX-3 with my guitar... it is awesome. Definitely worth the money. I plan to pick up the PX-4B as soon as I can... (priorities, you know) If you already have a good amp, I'd recommend the PX-4B or -3B, and then when you want to play without the headphones, you have a multitude of effects, drums, and you can still run your CD player through it for a 1 man jam session!
