silent practicing

[giantoz]

thanks for your help guys. I was going to go with the pedal idea but i remembered I have a cheap effects processor that Im going to try out as soon as my new studio cans come in the mail.

I like the mixing board idea. if the processor disappoints me I think I'll grab one of those.

How about a Korg Pandora?

Love my Pandora PX4B - if it crapped out tomorrow, I'd get another one immediately...

You can plug headphones into a Digitech BP50.
Effects, drum beats, tuner all in one. (and they're pretty cheap too)

If you really want to go cheap, the bass Pockit Rockit is only $30, and for what it is, it sounds pretty decent. The options above are certainly better, but this one's alot less dough. And yeah, I occasionally use mine for playing while watching tv.

+1 Hard to beat for the $

I also have a B*hringer Eurorack 4 channel mixer direct into my pc. It actually sounds surprisingly warm. I use the phones out from the pc so I can play along with mp3's to learn tunes.

Also, I use my Zoom B2 into the board at times. For practicing, the B2 is excellent since it has modeling/effects/tuner. Plus the drum machine is useful for getting timing down with different beats or just a straight up metronome if you prefer that.
