Practise amp

[cronker]

Hello fellow TBers

Question: do you take as much care about your tone and sound through the little practise amp you use at home, as you do for your stage amp/sound?

 

[JimmyM]

Probably not, no. Now and then I'll bust out a tube amp to practice, but it's so much easier to drag out my little BA108. And quite honestly, I usually practice without an amp at all.

 

[BigBobbyBass]

I don't normally practice with an amp, either..

My home practice rig: VT Bass DI + Mackie 402-VLZ4 mixer + ATH M50 headphones.

Yes, I do care about the tone when practicing at home because that's where I get to experiment with the settings on the VT Bass.

I have a Phil Jones Double Four it sounds great but I wouldn't care if it didn't.

I practice through a Bass Driver DI into a small PA at home with an old 12" Yorkville wedge; which is pretty much what I do live, except that the PA is bigger (same wedge). For rehearsals I use an old Yorkville AM50 acoustic amp - works pretty good, but I'm not moving a lot of air. Good thing our drummer has a light touch.

I care. I try to sound musical when I practice, and I play better if I like how I sound. I need all the help I can get

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

It isn't as important, but I do like it to sound decent. I use a Rumble 25 v3 for practice.

My practice amp is a B15 and I set it so that my tone stands out from the music I'm playing along to. This allows me to still hear if I am playing something different from what's on the track.

Right now I care. I'm trying different strings on different basses and on the neverending effects quest with my zoom m60b. So I'm always tweeking my Carvin mini stack. With my Rumble 40 its not as important. I just use that to play along with tunes either through the amp or with headphones.

I use an Ashdown as my stage amp, so I bought a Ten for my practice amp.
Completely different

What little practice amp? If anything, my rigs at home are equally nice but bigger and more powerful than what I actually gigged with 95% of the time over the last ten years or so. The only time I get to play through that stuff is at home pretty much, even though I can't really crank it without hurting my house. And beyond that, I am much pickier about how it sounds at home, where I actually have control over that and can hear every note clearly. Link Removed
