Is this possible? Like a pair of headphones with 2 audio jacks or can I try a splicer? I'm about to deploy here and I'm hauling a buncha bass gear with me and need an awesome pair of headphones to play/listen to music at the same time with.
Help appreciated.

Some of the best are the Cafe Walter, Phil Jones Bass Buddy, and Summit TD-100, and I saw a used Cafe Walter in the TB classifieds just recently.
Please don't imagine it's anything to do with altered headphones. |

You need one that has an instrument input, that's where you'd plug your bass and pedals. The word "preamp" is used a lot of different ways, so saying there's a "preamp" on your pedalboard doesn't tell me whether you can plug headphones into it or anything else.
Look for one that has an instrument input, a stereo input for your MP3 player (or Walkman or whatever), and a headphone jack. Don't make any assumptions- if it doesn't specifically say headphone jack for example, don't assume or wonder if headphones can be plugged in. They label these things really obviously and clearly. |

I have one, and I love it. It's awesome to use when you're traveling. You plug it into your bass, then you plug the (included) headphones into it. If you want to play along with a CD/MP3 player, you can plug that into it as well. It also has an output, so you can use it as a preamp. WELL worth the $40!
