For those using Amplitube or iRig HD, how would you get audio out to speakers (for a live gig?)? Do you use the headphone jack with a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter? Is there audio degradation from the headphone jack? Is there latency?

$8k for one of the other 49. If it were to sell for $10-11k, it actually might be worth it to save as a collectors item. But $8k is outside my Fender budget. Actually $8k might be out of my car budget.

Awesome stuff, I forgot about the capo, that's come up a few times (why the hell would I have a capo?!? :) ). Follow up question, how do you store everything? I have an old backpack from my college days but it's getting pretty stuffed and unorganized. I've considered a tool box or small...

It's know it's been discussed here a few times, but I am one of those folks that carries an array of extra stuff in my overstuffed book bag "just in case," mainly after reading about it here. I don't sing, but had a gig saving XLR cable in my bag recently. Also had an 1/8" to 1/4" that saved...

Living in Tampa, I was waiting for the update on this one. :) I'm glad to hear the weather didn't interfere other than in your haste to leave. I didn't get to this game, but if you play again and I'm there, I'll be sure to wander over. -Mike

All, I really appreciate the replies/feedback, keep it coming. Having been a lurker here long enough, I knew you wouldn't disappoint. So far, there are some great ideas and constructive feedback here I want to follow up on ... after I drive to the store ... "for some Preparation H." :)

Long time, first time ... After a long hiatus from music for family and career, I'm back at it for the stress relief of the daily grind (the fact that it isn't always that is for another post on another day). All original 90's style rock band (www.5poundtrigger.com, if you are interested)...

I'm thinking they didn't post a pic that showed it for a reason. You've got me thinking it might be worth another trip to grab a few pics of my own and/or bring a trusted luthier with me.

I lied. One more. This shows the damage better. This really looks like a Sunrise from a google search. I'm nervous as to why the label has been removed and the claims of it being a Shen ... not to mention it being in a Pawn shop. Mike

This is the only other pic I have. You can kind of see the damage/repair at the very bottom. I'm grateful for the assistance. I don't want to make a mistake on my first double bass purchase. Mike

They're asking 550. I looked at it in the store and I'm almost certain it's not a Shen, but I'm new to this .. :)

I'm an electric bass player looking to get a double bass. I came across the attached in a pawn shop. They claim its a Shen SB80, but I'm skeptical. The head appears to have been broken but repaired nicely. Any ideas what this might be? Thanks Mike
