Stoner/Doom Bassists #64 - sensitive artsy emo chicks

Ok, now that I have a pair of Grados again, I'm listening to more music...any somewhat affordable headphone amps I should know about? I have an Apogee Duet that I use for remote recordings. I use that sometimes, but wouldn't mind a nicer headphone amp :)
 
Thanks! Looked at those a bit. I just realized I have an old Apogee Duet I'm not using, which may improve things a bit for now :)






Check out Fiio, ibasso and JDS. Little Dot for a bit more beef and tubes if you want.

Now that is funny.

I painted for like 9hrs today with my father-in-law, silently. Longest 9 hours of my life. Tomorrow will be loud.
Ive missed this thread since I've been so busy, y'all turn me on to so much new music.
 
Sometimes... the rest of talkbass... ugh...

Dude goes on amp forum asking for tube amp recommendations. Some schmuck suggests a Genz Benz. smh

Obviously the op must have been drunk and mistakenly asked for a tube amp... Had his mind been clear he would have realized tubes were only ok for guitarists. He meant to ask where can I get a markbass combo and a Warwick.

If you guys would just work on your floating thumb technique, you'd get it...and learn a little something about tonewoods!!! And who could possibly carry an amp that weighs more than 4lbs?! Or what 'serious' musician would play a bass with less that 8 strings that looks like it should only be played by a wizard???!!! You kids really need to step it up...and get a Gramma pad...gawd forbid you have any bass in your...bass:hmm:
 
Another example of regular talkbass: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/bass-tuned-octave-down-53845/

Note the several posters saying that you would get no tone at all tuned to that. It's not a tuning I'd play in, myself, but the idea of it being useless or without tone is silly when we know that Ron tunes to F# and sounds fine.

haha, from that thread..

"low frequency does not equal heavy. heavy comes from the chord progression."
