Good iOS Music interface for my Bass; plus a decent condenser mic

It a nice interface and sonically is great for Bass. I'm using JamKazam and other players loved my bass tone with my Guild Pilot 4 string. It does use up a lot of battery when plugged into my iPhone. It should have offered a pass thru power source.

Ease of use is only the beginning

I’ve had this mike for a few years now. Works well and provides a quick audio interface for inputting my guitar into my DAW. Good for private practice with a headphone jack for those times when quiet is required or when fleshing out your next song.
