A friend has bought a bass and is looking for cheap-ish options to play it through headphones (he's a total beginner... and he lives in a flat - so an amp isn't an option at the moment).
I guess he could get a Vox Bass 2 amplug as a basic option.
But I'm guessing a cheap FX unit may give him more options... ie he'd gain access to FX... and some units may have an aux in socket (so he could feed music in from his phone/iPod etc and play his bass alongside his favourite songs). Obviously, the FX unit would have to be capable of driving headphones (and it would be good if it had amp emulations)
Any ideas or recommendations?
Thanks.

That's just my personal preference tho.
@hollywoodrox I assume the aux in signal isn't affected by the FX that are being applied to the bass signal on the Zoom (seems obvious... but I've learnt not to assume anything!)

Amazing what you can get for little outlay nowadays (about 68 Euros for the non expression pedal version)
Oh and the thomann superlux headphones are great
He's bought a Zoom B1 four. Looks like a lot of fun for about £60.
