Re: Bass amp with DTXpressII?

2004-08-07 by Farkus Gwenadon

Thanks for the reply.  That's actually a good idea, I'll take my MP3
player with me tomorrow and ask if I can hook it up to the amp.  If
it's bareable I'll probably get it.  
I'm not actually in the market for buying an amp yet, but my friend is
coming over with his new guitar and we wanted to jam together.  I just
need something for a few days while I'm in my hometown, since I'll be
going back to apartment life (ie., headphone life) in a week.

Thanks again!
