Rock-it... rocket.

You know, this gives me an invention idea for the ladies in bass
players' lives. "Rock your lady's world with this innovative...."

Good times.

Carry on.

It fills a need very well. If you want to jam with a CD
while walking around your appartment in near silence it
works very well indeed.

I have the older version and it's decent for what it does. However, If you've
got $169, I'd recommend the Cafe Walter headphone amp though.

Yes.

it's light weight, about the size of a cigarette pack
the price has dropped by half in the last few years
the 9 v battery gives more than 10 hours playing
the sound quality is limited by the headphones as much as the little box
a shot of compressed air cleans the slide potentiometers
you can plug in a play-along recording from any source
with an adapter & a Y connector for another set of headphones, you can
plug in an active guitar to jam with a friend
with an adapter & a Radio Shack pre-amp, you can plug in a passsive
guitar to jam with a friend
it is useful to have an extra battery & a bottle of single malt when
traveling by plane to meet a friend to hang out & jam.
it doesn't provoke questions at airport security

u no u replied to your own post many times??

I own one and use it mostly during clinics and workshops where you
can't bring an amp. For that purpose, they are great. I don't think we
can really expect there small gadgets to have stellar sound quality so
for my level of expectations, they do what they are suposed to.
