Best bass thing you ever bought?

[elBandito]

Nut files set.

Lessons...


Other than that, my 60th Anniversary P basses.

 

[Pandastylebass]

Tascam GB-10 bass trainer, added many hours to my practice routine without bothering roommates and neighbors.

 

[OldDirtyBassist]

1995 Vanilla colored American Standard Precision.

 

[Bassworship1]

Ibanez Prestige SR4005 bass. Best bass I've ever heard or played.

 

[Guinness20]

My stingray - it's never going anywhere! I nearly said snark tuner, but replacing the batteries for the things is a proper pain!

 

[MrLenny1]

Tascam Bass Trainer MP3 version.

 

[JZQuantum]

As of today? I'd have to say my Aguilar Tone Hammer pedal. This thing is sick. Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em!

The best not-an-actual-bass-thingie I've ever bought was a Pocket Rockit S1b headphone amp. It's sounds great and I can jam along with tunes from my laptop/mp3 player/iPhone. With it I can practice at-home or on-the-go without disturbing those around me. Plus when you live with a girlfriend who is…

• an artist who works from home…
• cursed with A.D.D.…
• prone to migraines…

…well, let's just say this handy little gadget has probably kept me from being murdered with one of my own basses!!

While I'd love to say my Big Al, truth is I've gotten more use out of this than anything else bass related I ever purchased.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

• I use it every single day
• I can tweak it make any bass I own sound awesome
• I use the beats for inspiration and fun
• I've used the beats at small acoustic gigs and jams
• I've taken to places that have no elsectricity
• It's small
• It's light
• It was cheap
• The built in effects are awesome and inspire me
• The compressor give it awesome punch
• It makes for KILLER preamp when recording

Definitely my most useful $$$ spent on bass related gear.

After abusing my hearing for many decades the one and only best thing I bought that keeps me playing bass is a pair of custom molded ear plugs.

 

[Jerome YoAhKeem]

What is it?

 

[Malak the Mad]

What is it?

I think he was talking about a Roland MicroCube.

 

[PWRL]

My P bass and my Ampeg B100R.

 

[stuntbass77]

My Zon Sonus 4. Felt right, sounded like what I hear in my head. Playing her as my main bass for over 10 years now (damn), zero gas...

Purchased a 08' MIA jazz and good bye thumb bass. This is as close to the sound in my head as I'll get. Some of us may never completely get there

 

[OOTB68]

My Alembic SF-2

 

[rodl2005]

2 Mark Bass 'bass keeper' things. .. To hold yr bass. Like a stand but it holds it onto yr cab. Used 2 of em for over 6 yrs.

 

[zontar]

My SR500F.

As far as bass stuff, that isn't the bass itself--a Boss AW-3.

 

[oysteivi]

+1 for custom molded ear plugs.

Honorable mention: Korg Pitch Black. Probably not the best tuner pedal, but since I bought it, I've never wanted to replace it.
