[GEAR] Looking for... Something?

Posted by: dcstone <dcstone@...>

Hi All!

Some may remember that I acquired a 5-string Ibanez for Father's Day this year. Very happy with it, and had a lot of comments from the other bass players in the church (along with many of the other musicians.)

Anyway, my 25-year old 10W bass practice amp (!) is getting pretty bad, and doesn't handle anything lower than a "D" anyway. I'm looking for something I could replace it with just for practice purposes (i.e. something with a head-phone jack). I'd also like to replace my existing chorus pedal with something more versatile.

Is there such a thing as a unit that would let me plug in the bass, with built-in tuner and effects, maybe also a built-in DI, and options to either feed into an amp or plug in head phones? (On the last bit, I do have an audio module for my desktop in the den, so I could just go DI>Audio IF>headphones, which would mean I could also play along to tracks on the desktop)

Thanks in advance for any and all recommendations!
