How to connect the guitar (bass) to the iPhone to practice with the iRealBook player?

The first thought is using an amp with two inputs (one for iPhone and one for your guitar/bass) and headphone socket. (It is what I use.)

Or using a (cheap) mixer that can function in the same way.

I think it unlikely, but have not tried it, using iRig;

and multitasking (iOS4) and the iOS simultaneously being able to output audio from iRig software and iReal book app, Player audio (I am not sure it will do this.)
Perhaps some with this combination could try it for us and report back?

Thanks for the reply.

I have a setup with the amp and mixer, but am trying to make it really minimal. Bass, iRealBook, cable and headphones would be ideal.
I am hoping that iRig would work, but will wait to see if somebody knows that all ready and is willing to share it with us

Regardless iRealBook is by far the best app i have on my iPhone. Looking forward for the next updates.

The problem is that somewhere in the chain you will need a (small) amp of some kind (there are headphones with amps built-in) for your bass, but you still need something with two inputs. Boss (or similar) might put out something that could help you. I suppose you could use a double-plug on a single input but that would possibly give you distortion problems etc.

Glad you like our app!
