bro, the microCUBE bass runs on 6 AA batteries, but it's not pocket-sized. just a very small amp.

woo thx again! haha where can i get it? how much is it roughly?

oh man... maybe you can look for those cheaper headphone amps. much cheaper than a speaker-ed amp, but in terms of performance probably the same (if not better)

if you want a quality headphone amp like a cafe walter (is it battery powered?) or bass buddy, it's a different story

if you want to go portable ... City Music is bringing in the AmPlug for bass by the end of this month ... it's a portable preamp that allows you to practice anywhere, anytime with headphones.

oh, forgot to mention it's under Vox. so if you really want something powered by batteries .. you gotta check that out ...

OK does AMPlugs able to play out? or only plays in headphones. coz no point if my mates can't hear me haha

it's meant to be used with earphones, but with the proper cable, you can plug it into portable speakers and stuff.

hmm, you bringing mirco amp to jam? I bet they can't hear you too.

invest in an amplug, very worth it. =)

 

[MusicPebbles]

how do i connect the apmlug to a speaker then?

 

[VinOnBass]

To me, amplugs are use more for self-practicing. If you wanna gig, combos and amps are the only options.

 

[shinobi]

even ignoring all other factors, it will be hard to get past the battery life of batter-powered amps

 

[farhanians]

lol. but i think plugging your amplug into those small mini speakers wont work really well on these low frequencies unless youve got small subwoofers

haha it's for self-practicing when you do not want to disturb others.

male 6/8" to a male 6/8" out .. then depending on the speaker input you may need a 6/8" to a 1/4" convertor ...

actually .. i'm not sure if the amplug has enough juice to drive the signal .. if you want to use speakers alone, i doubt the amplug has enough power to drive the speakers .. you may need to drive the signal again to get a decent sound ..

you basically need something portable, like a power amp to bring around to drive your signal .. and the appropriate cables to connect to the speakers .. so go look for a small, portable power amp that you can lug around and connect to other speakers to jam .. just be careful that you don't overdrive your signal so as to blow the speakers ..

uh i think it's 1/8" -- 6/8" is 3/4", which is pretty big...

then again i haven't looked at the specs so i could be wrong.
