This small Bluetooth receiver proved to be very handy for practicing by playing along the backtrack or recording played on the cellphone. I permanently attached it with double-sticky foam tape to the back of the body and it is plugged into MP3 input of the preamp at all times. The model of the receiver I use is iStream AIS01F, made by Aluratek, it can be found on Amazon, but any low latency receiver would do. So now when I stream a tune from my cell phone and plug in headphones, preamp mixes signal on MP3 input received from the AIS01F with signal from piezo pickups, amplifies it and outputs through the headphones jack. I can independently adjust volume of streaming music on my phone, and volume of my playing by the Volume knob on the Stagg. Very handy for silent practicing.
