Can some kind sole explain it to me?

[rpjazzguitar]

My low cost suggestion is a used Crate GFX15. They are often available used for below $50 USD. And they sound great. Not very powerful, but great for practice.

The Little Jazz was on sale a couple of weeks ago for $200. Now it's twice that or maybe $350. I think it's a great practice amp -- and it will handle jam sessions and small gigs. It's not the best sound possible, except for its size, price and weight class.

Oh Cod! Make it stop!

Anyway getting back to the OP, I want to give an informed opinion, so I’ll need to mullet over for a little while

After trawling through this thread it now has me hooked.

Don’t create a rod for your own back, make sure you net something with a line out, and enough bass.

There are puns, and there are puns.

They also say that falling in love is wonderful. They ask me how I knew my true love was true. They say Ruby you’re like a flame. They say it’s wonderful, but They didn’t believe me. Whoever they are, they should stop their carping.

Walleye for one don’t care for fish jokes.

I was really hoping we would stick with the flat-fish theme and someone could work "John Dory", "Turbot" or "Dabs" in there, but alas no bites.

That’s debaitable. At least we’re not out of tuna.

What do expect from a bunch of old news groupers?

You can tuna guitar but you can't tuna fish.

You can tuna guitar but you can't tuna fish.

… even though it has scales.

I’m waiting until there’s a sail on them.

If you miss it, there’s always another coming down the pike.

I find all this piscine persiflage rather bleak, tbh, but did you know that some fish prefer to live in saltwater because pepper makes them sneeze.

OP, you should probably look at a Fishman interface.

[frankhond]

I use a Revv D20. It has a two-rock attenuator / IR built in. Run an xlr cable into audio interface / computer. And speaker kit to a speaker cabinet with 12” Allessandro fender-speaker-clone. In 4w mode it plays great at bedroom levels.

OP: sorry if this is a bunch of confusing tech speak. Google this amp, watch some demos etc. It perfectly solves the problem of having a great sounding tube amp in the bedroom at low volume while simultaneously recording it with your computer.

Shadly, I couldn't think of a good bassic fish joke for this thread. It's a tough roe to hoe.

"can some kind sole explain it to me?"

Enough people who "knew it in their soles" and tried to help though, before somebody (finally) reacted

Another otherwise fintastic thread
again derailed, by a gillty pleasure.

And with that, I think we jumped the shark.

[RJVB]

I use a Vox Pathfinder for my quiet amp.

That's what I'll probably end up buying if ever I have to buy an amp. I'd go for the bass version though (and do the LED/diode mod).

[Woody Sound]

You can practice your scales through the computer. Just be sure to turn it off when you're fin-ished.

[Woody Sound]

Reminds me of Rodney D's line in Caddyshack. "The last time I saw a face like that it had a hook in it."

[nevershouldhavesoldit]

I'd go for the bass version.

Just make sure you get one with handles. The stock ones are very hard to carry with a guitar on your shoulder.....
