Reply to I know that it may be in poor practice...

But I was wondering if anyone had any advice for using guitar amplifiers, home stereos, etc., as improvised monitors?

At my old apartment I had paper thin walls where i didn't bother with monitoring my mix out of the headphones even if i wanted to! At my new place though, I might be able to actually listen to my music, but all I have at my disposal are a couple of old bass guitar practice amps.

I have a 60 watt solid state Fender bass amp with a 12" speaker, which has a "cd in" but that input has horrible tone, and another little 10 or 20 watt 8" practice amp.

Anyone else ever have to do this?
