For your viewing pleasure a picture of the travel setup. The zoom b1xfour I highly recommend down to the box being perfect to give your laptop a little elevation. The other slick feature is the aux input to connect the laptop to and have Josh and my instrument in the headphones without bugging the neighbors.
Powering the b1xfour from a usb battery works great! Highly recommend that.
The loaner Glarry bass is hard to recommend. The quality control on the frets makes G played on the D string really buzzy (sometimes buzz only) and a few other spots are quite buzzy as well. The extra $50 you’d spend on a second hand Ibanez in playable will be worth it.
This was my recording studio while on hols at the beginning of the summer. The B1four was only used for silent practice. The Scarlett Solo as an interface into the iPhone for recording on GarageBand.
The bass, a Hofner Shorty, was second hand, cheap, a bit cr@p. But by taking the neck off, would fit into a suitcase.
Did the same thing years ago when I played for an Elvis impersonator. Got to Reno, no bass; they’re just wood and wires to me; found one, Kay 3/4 size, in local music store and used it for 4 shows. Mine showed up for last 2 shows and I used it. Took the Kay apart, put in suitcase, carried the P=bass on the plane.
