This lets me practice my ebass completely unplugged and still hear everthing clearly. I do much of my bass practicing unplugged anyway, really helps to develop clean technique, practice out fret buzz and other garbage that gets in the sound that may not be noticed with an amp on 11. Although I have heard good things about these things, for the price if it turns out to be just a gimmick, I am not out very much.
Can you tell us more about this? How it works, brand name, model number,....etc.
Stand light (that really does look like a martian is landing on my stand) and a pouch so I can carry my mouthpiece in something besides my pocket when I am too lazy to take my horn to rehearsal and use a school tuba!
Ken, I also got a trickle battery charger for my motorcycle, plus some bag liners.
Used the cash from a paying gig to refurbish a stuck first valve slide water key and buy strings for all my guitars as well as take my sweetie out and buy her a steak.

We've gotten really great ticket sales out on tour so far, especially for christmas. That let's me keep my job playing the tuba and is all I need for a present, although I'm hopin' to buy myself a big present in the middle of next year............
Peace.

Sure, but would you like what he carries?
I likely would as it is a British made Blaikley compensator.
