What gear are YOU using for practice at home??
- Thread starter Mowac
- Start date
Pretty much what I gig with since my home practice room is where I store a couple cabs, though I only use one at home - An Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 and 210 cab.
I run source clips off my laptop via Bluetooth to a 25 year old Yamaha powered mixer and 15" PA speaker-horn. That PA stays at home - I'm pretty much done hauling that heavy beast around.
If I have to shed new tunes between sequential-night dates, I just plug the bass straight into a channel on the PA - not worth hauling the cab and amp in for such a quick turnaround.
Otherwise, home rig, same as stage rig:

Just my usual gigging rig; the WD800 with one of my now retired LDS cabinets as it seems nobody wants to buy them.
I use the light-weight RevSounds 2 x 10 for gigs.
I still take efforts to practice reading music too. It provides for fingerings I would not normally do and it is a benefit towards my desire to improv on the fly.
