Nah, hand size won't mess you up. A lot of people say "My hands are too small for bass", when in reallity hand size doesn't affect too much (there are a lot of bass exercises that will allow you to properly extend your hand on the fretboard)

The Hal Leonard method is a pretty good book, go with it.

​

Also, if you're not getting an amp I reccommend to get a Amplug or something

u/tastejustlikechicken · 8 pointsr/Bass

Two easy options: This and these.

Have them both and the headphones get used more.

u/ArasBekar · 6 pointsr/Bass

You want exactly amp or something to trevel with and play for yourself? All little amps sounds weak. But Vox amplug is good. 3 types of gain, 9 types of drums with different speed you set by yourself. Decent overall sound. And aux in for mp3 player

Looking to get a headphone amp while my current amp gets replaced, and for on-the-go playing in general. I've heard good things about Vox Bass headphone amp, and for $55 CAD it's tempting for the utility.

Thoughts on it? Also, might be a stupid question, but it'll work fine with the jack on the Audio Technica M50x, right?

u/Philser23 · 5 pointsr/Bass

Has anybody got any experience with the vox amplug? Only want to use it for at-home practicing

u/emiliothecat · 5 pointsr/Bass

Have you looked at using a headphone amp?
You can plug an external audio into the amp and then it goes out to a headphone/earphone. IME this worked fine.

I second the Vox Amplug (Bass Version)- One of the absolute best things I've bought! The fact that it has that aux port allows you to plug your phone in and use ANY JAM TRACK on the web, i.e. youtube. And if you're not able to plug in for some reason, it has a few built-in beats to play to (and you change the tempo!)

You can even plug it into effects pedals at the end, as long as you have a long enough headphone cord! It's literally just a small pocket-sized amp that feeds headphones!

Here's an amazon link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAUKJTY/ref=sxts_bia_sr_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3182441022&pd_rd_wg=pKSfj&pf_rd_r=S30ENEJ72YT9AVEYW0W1&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B00NAUKJTY&pd_rd_w=TJkkI&pf_rd_i=vox+amplug+bass&pd_rd_r=ZXV3J540X3Y62GEAE9C1&ie=UTF8&qid=1506310891&sr=1


Seriously, buy one now. You will NOT regret it.

u/reid-o · 3 pointsr/Bass

I get this problem, because I like to run my Aguilar head without a cab into my mixer or audio interface and plug the headphones in there. At least, that's how I can practice silently with some reasonable sense of my tone, since that's the head I play through live. I usually run my pedals on this setup, too, so that's more gear I'm tied to / tangled up in.

When I'm focused on running sets, though, and only worried about my hands (and not so much the guitar's controls or my amp tone) I use a vox amplug. It's the v2 bass model, if anyone is interested, I've recommended / discussed it in this sub before. The tone is acceptable, but the real benefit is that this battery powered unit plugs into the bass, and my headphones into it - no other gear required. So I'm only tethered to the instrument and not to the board or my amp head. Plus it's cheap and the battery life is pretty darn good. The tone and beats to play along with aren't really for me, but might suit some players.

At least, that's what works for me.

Hi, there is some advice in the FAQ article:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bass/wiki/faq#wiki_getting_started

I live in a house with lots of neighbours, so I use one of these headphone amps:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/amPlug2-AP2-BS-Headphone-Amplifier-Rhythms/dp/B00NAUKJTY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=vox+amplug+bass&qid=1570555595&sr=8-3

That way I can plug my ipod into it as well as my headphones, and play along to my favourite songs without disturbing anyone.

If you don't want to buy an amp then you will find that it's hard to hear what you are playing, and also you will tend to play harder and not notice certain mistakes, like bad muting. Not impossible but I would definitely recommend to get some sort of amp, or interface to plug your guitar into your computer.

u/Tomaturd · 3 pointsr/Bass

Something like this is what you're looking for.

u/msim609078 · 3 pointsr/Bass

I don't have one myself, but a friend loves his:

u/Turbosack · 3 pointsr/Bass

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on my first bass. Specifically, I'm looking at this Yamaha. From looking around on the subreddit, it seems like most people agree that it is quite good for the price. I just have one question about it if anyone happens to know: the model name listed on the sites ends in a Y (RBX170Y), where most instance of the model name I've seen elsewhere don't have it. Does that mean this is a different version of that bass? Maybe a lower quality one somehow (I know places like Walmart will do something similar where they sell a TV or whatever with a slightly different model name that is inferior, which is why I'm worried).

A second question, I wanted to be polite to the other members of my household, so I was thinking of getting a headphone amp. Do these work well enough for just practicing on my own? I figure that's all I'll be doing for awhile.

u/dnbrandon · 3 pointsr/Bass

I use one of these when I want to jam and not bother anybody. Works pretty well, but haven't tried looping it into the pedals:

https://www.amazon.com/AP2BS-amPlug-Bass-Guitar-Headphone/dp/B00NAUKJTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469472618&sr=8-1

u/JustLoggedInForThis · 3 pointsr/Bass

You might want to look into headphone amps. They won't replace your regular amp, but they are inexpensive, and great for when you want to practice without disturbing others.

For example this one. I have an older model and I'm am happy with that. There are also other makers.

u/CRCP-10325 · 2 pointsr/Bass

A Vox Amplug may also be an option if you don't have any amps on hand, I have one myself and they're decent for the price, you plug it straight in and connect a set of headphones, or a speaker if you want

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NAUKJTY/

u/agmatine · 2 pointsr/Bass

I'd recommend this instead, unless you need the extra outputs: http://www.amazon.com/AP2BS-amPlug-Bass-Guitar-Headphone/dp/B00NAUKJTY

Plugs straight into the bass so less cables and more portability (powered by 2x AAA), has a tone control, and even a built-in drum loop/metronome with its own volume/tempo control. The metronome tempo is controlled with the volume knob and there's no display so you can't really get a specific tempo, but it's certainly more functional than a regular headphone amp, and probably sounds better.

There's also these if you want to go a step further and put the amp into the headphones: http://www.amazon.com/VOX-AMPHONESBASS-Active-Amplifier-Headphones/dp/B009703PZG

Haven't tried them but the headphones are made by Audio Technica so they're probably decent.

u/realomi · 2 pointsr/Bass

https://www.amazon.ca/AP2BS-amPlug-Bass-Guitar-Headphone/dp/B00NAUKJTY

This is something on my wish list. Costs $50 on amazon prime

u/ZardozC137 · 2 pointsr/Bass

I am a new bass player, trying to learn more about the gear. I play with a passive ESP Bass through my Vox Headphone Amplifier for Bass Guitar with some old shitty Best Buy Sony head phones I got a couple years ago. I’m looking to get a bedroom practice amplifier with the hopes of one day both recording and playing in small bars with a thrash metal band.
I was thinking maybe the Fender Rumble Studio 40 am I looking in the right direction? This is just a hobby of mine I’m trying out, money isn’t really a concern, I just know I should most likely get a combo amp to practice in my room until I can work my way up and get something else.

u/aspiringtobeme · 2 pointsr/Bass

My brother gave me one of these for Christmas one year. Does exactly what you're looking for - you can put in headphones and use an aux cable with it and have your playing and audio from music coming through your headphones.

u/macaronist · 2 pointsr/Bass

I don’t know all the tricks about amping a bass, but I use this and I love it! It’s perfect for my use in my apartment and I can bring it anywhere easily.

u/belly917 · 2 pointsr/Bass

I picked up a used mint condition Ibanez SR500 after seeing it constantly recommended here.

I've been playing piano (poorly) for 30 years and always wanted to play bass.. so here we go.

My wife picked me up 2 books to start learning:

Hal Leonard Bass Method - Complete Edition: Books 1, 2 and 3 Bound Together in One Easy-to-Use Volume!

First 50 Songs You Should Play On Bass

I also picked up a Vox Bass headphone amp to practice while the kids are asleep.

Finally, my late grandfather played bass in many jazz bands, both electric and upright. My father still has all of his instruments. But I just inheirited his Polytone Brute Mini III amp.

So, I'm all set with equipment, now I just need to learn & practice!

u/crashandburn · 2 pointsr/Bass

I use the vox amplug 2: https://www.amazon.com/AP2BS-amPlug-Guitar-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00NAUKJTY/

Its pretty good, has gain/tone settings, and has a built-in rhythm machine/metronome.

u/Goldin · 1 pointr/Bass

I have one of the Vox mini pocket amps:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NAUKJTY

I wasn't overwhelmed, it seemed like the volume doesn't go high enough.

u/4more20years · 1 pointr/headphones

Budget - ~$60 Australian dollars, I can spend a little more if there are more suitable headphones out of my price range. For Australian prices try ebay.com.au

Source Windows Desktop (realtek drivers), Macbook, Combination Record player/Amplifier from the 70's, phone occasionally, Headphone amplifier for Bass Guitar

Requirements for Isolation - None

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - No

Preferred Type of Headphone - Full sized/on ear, comfort is a must

Preferred tonal balance - U-shaped, but bassy preferred

Past headphones - Sennheiser HD202, good headphones but they were not bassy enough. Also the construction of the headphones weren't that strong but they were comfortable enough. Current headphones - Sony MDR-ZX660, they've suited me exceptionally well for my needs, the bass is decent but not overpowering and they can also handle human voice pretty well. The only downside is they do get uncomfortable after long periods of use

Preferred Music - It has to stand up to the use of my Bass Guitar, as I run it through a headphone amplifier, A Vox AC30, I don't use any distortion effects. I usually listen to let's plays or streamers most days so it's mostly just the human voice. When I do feel like music it's sometimes chillstep or stuff like this Benga and Coki - Night. My vinyl collection is 80's pop mostly with some pink floyd and jethro tull.

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - My must haves are: A detachable headphone cord as I've broken my last 2 other sets because of the cord. Durability wouldn't go astray. Comfort, I use them everyday for 5+ hours. Ability to handle bass guitar would be a plus.

Notes I've looked through the $30 and $50 guides, I'm not sold on the Koss Portapro. The Superlux HD668B look pretty decent for what you get but reading the reviews I'm not sure how it'll handle my bass needs

What is the difference between connecting my headphones to an amp and buying a headphone amp (e.g. Vox Amplug 2 Bass) and connecting my headphones to that?

u/whm3223 · 1 pointr/Bass

A VOX Amplug headphone amp is $45 and plugs right into the bass. Has built in drum loops and a metronome. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NAUKJTY/ref=twister_B015IJIO5U?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I use this

Not the best sound quality, but it works

u/depthandbloom · 1 pointr/Bass

Get a Vox Amplug Bass G2 if you want a heightened headphone bass tone. It sounds damn close to an Ampeg SVT, best $50 I ever spent.

u/Conspiranoid · 1 pointr/Bass

What OP is using is a Vox amPlug, or in his case, a copy. The thing (the one I have, at least) isn't really to die for, but it's a nifty gadget to always have in your gigbag, in case you need to hear yourself playing in emergency cases (like warming up backstage, etc).

IMHO, plugging it directly into the JBL might lack some processing, if I were to go the 1/4 to 1/8 way, I'd add something in front of it, like a small preamp pedal (in my case, I have an Eden WTDI, which I also take everywhere, since it's a lifesaver in cases of terrible amps when you depend on others' backlines).

Not sure if I have 1/4 to 1/8 cables at home to try out... When I'm there, I'll try with the amPlug and the Eden at least.

u/NorswegianFrog · 1 pointr/Bass

Yeah, Vox makes them in that format specifically for bass as well as a headphone version that runs under $100.

Long ago, Fender made these micro amps. I still have a guitar one that works just as well for bass if I need it to. Very limited features, naturally.

u/2muchcoffeeman · 1 pointr/Bass

OK, but how is this better than something like the VOX amPlug I already have?
