hi all
 
i'm a big fan of bass guitar and since i get home late in the night from work unfortunately i can't plug in and rock away as i would like to because of common sense so i'm looking for a pair of headphones that will accurately reproduce the tone of my bass
 
any suggestion would be highly appreciated thank you

Bass guitar isn't actually bass when from a head. It's actually a lower end of mids because of the tone. Now Double bass is real bass. Either way it turns out sounding like bass.

Before i recommend some cans i like to ask these questions and it willbe easier to recommend after like how much is your budget, preffer closed/open headphones and the source like PC soundcard, AMPs or else?.

I am a sucker for bass too, once I considered this http://www.equationaudio.com/headphones/rp-22x/ because its said to be designed for bass players.
 
I dont own a bass at the moment but I've tried a friends with my HD25 and its OK, strangely, the ATH M50 did better, more comfortable too. i dont like the M50, but for bass it was very good. i dislike it because of the piercing highs and boomy bass, somehow it seems to be OK for bass player and doesnt sound boomy at all. 
 
Denon HP700 works fine too, it has less bas sin quantity but feels less bloated then the M50 and it has more sub bass.
 
anyway, Ive never ever heard a headphone more detailed and clear in the bass section as the DT1350, but I am still getting used to it.

Studio and DJ types of headphones will be good.  I use my Pioneer HDJ-1000 for silent practice with my guitar, baritone guitar, and 5-string bass.

i'm thinking closed cans would be better for the job and the source is going to be through my bass amp, which unfortunately i haven't decided upon yet, still have to choose between solid state and all tube but definitely it won't be a pc sound card source

I've heard dt1350 but IMO the bass section is so-so, it doesn't produce a 50 hz bass it is 70 hz bass. Try t50rp and you can hear an example of 50 hz bass.
