Itās expensive becoming somewhat competent at bass 
Any thoughts on the Palmer / NUX or other options @Al1885 ?

Palmer looks like an all in one preamp/DI with drive too mine you. Where is it going in your signal chain? I donāt know how much it is in Canada but here is 200 and used is half that. For a 100 itās definitely a good addition because it has the headphones out as well as aux in.
I might get one with a 9v I bet I can just take it anywhere.

Sorry @Al1885 I thought you had a Palmer Pocket Amp
Just looking for something a little better than the Zoom as a desktop preamp that i can use aux in / headphones out.
Theyāre the only two I know so far that are small but have those features.

I have the ashdown tone pocket. Thatās a very good preamp and aux in headphone out, thereās also the Bluetooth model. I also have the Wampler Cory Wong compressor. Itās a booster and DI. For everything else I use the Radial engineering passive DI.

Or just go for the easy oneā¦Pussy. although I doubt itās about cats 
I donāt need/want a J but this 500 is getting really tempting for this price.
Heās selling it as junk because it has a couple problems with the electronics that frankly will be real easy to fix. Itās otherwise decent.
Thatās about $250, around half their usual price here.

My practice headphone is a Maono AU-MH601 (purchased ~2 years ago), rock solid, sounds awesome with all bass sounds present, purchased for about ~40EUR, much better than expected and still going strong (using every day).

Well turns out that it really was high time to replace the strings (hearing the new set), will see how long these coated versions last.
Now I went for a 90Ā° plug instrument cable originally (my friend keeps breaking his bassās jack socket as playing seated but using a straight connector - I grew tired of always soldering back the stuff ) and besides the cable I came home not only with the set off bass strings but also these:
Picks (for UK mates: plectrums) because I started to try using a pick (mainly by having been enrolled to IAM course over at SBL) and wanted to test ride a bunch of thickness/material/shaped ones; and the electric guitar stringsā¦ Well tomorrow Iāll receive (hopefully) a Squire Bullet Telecaster as with having the Ampero One (thanks again @sunDOG mate!) and getting better with recording via Audacity thru the Ampero One got curious on rhythm guitar (to record my own ideas/concepts assuming having any). Stay tuned.
