Lets see those home practice set ups

Are there any basses you guys use exclusively at home?

Yeah, I do most of my home practicing on my Deluxe P Bass Special, SUB Sterling, and either my SUB5 or sr905 - but all of those have seen gig and rehearsal time, too... I don't practice with my "gigging basses" for the most part, they way they keep fresh strings on them longer...

It depends if I have to be quiet or not. Just IPad for early morning or late night then amp when no one is home. Have been messing with the ipad as preamp, sound great.

Ibanez 5 string Bass with updated electronics
IPad 2 With JamUp
Ampeg BA115HP combo (also for gigs)
Boss ME-20B for compressor

At home:
Squier FL / Jaguar > GK MB112
or
Squier FL / Jaguar > DI > Yamaha Mixer > QSC > 2x 12" Cabs

In hotel:
J&D Jazz > Zoom B2 > Headphones or USB card to PC > Headphones

I'm currently in the hotel, so the photo is not worth the effort!
 
Here is my modest practice rig. :hiding: The Washburn is sold. I usually choose a P or J from the ever-changing arsenal. I have a half-stack that my instructor plugs into. Also a karaoke player with remote that I use for playing along with the Ed Friedland CD. And a music stand. And a little 88 key Casio. And a guitard amp in case one should happen by. Out of control? Yes!! :bassist: But... all this stuff prevents the War Department from annexing the Man Cave.
