GAK getting in on the act.... Come on Andertons... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1g-f1MQj1o"]https://www.youtube....h?v=f1g-f1MQj1o[/url] And here's the start of a complete patch run through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQH6mrkH3N8

In my on-going mission to post every page of the internet into Basschat, we have PMT's review of the unit which gets off to an iffy start but improves with some nice sounds on display. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbZciLNDb-g

Agree with Sibob. The last thing the purchaser, or should say investor, would do buying these is use them. The second to last thing would be to open the packaging. Investment potential only. On that basis, with the Rock thing in the pan and about as relevant/fashionable as train-spotting, you're looking at seven years out in the hope the next generation will get back into it. If it becomes like brass bands and destined to be an eternal minority pursuit for hairy people who live in the regions, you'll unlikely ever make up the investment. I'm not sure the 1,500 units gives it enough exclusivity.

Which Manchester Bass Day was that! Do they still have them with people like RIchard Bona? I'd go... I think his playing unbelievable - don't care for the scat singing but it's impressive and suggests he has perfect pitch too.

Seems we're still pre-release on the GT-1B so not many vids out yet. But this chap's made a comparison with the B3 which starts to answer your question although I believe the 'n' is a real step-up... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcnF4tub84U"]https://www.youtube....h?v=qcnF4tub84U[/url]

Yes agree with your B3n point. I'd also like to understand when I'd use the GT-1B and when the MS-3 would be better. Guess the answer is in incorporating external effects, although I'd hope you can do this with the GT1B to an extent. Anyway some more info now up in the form of Boss's own 'Quick Start-up' videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/BOSSchannel/videos

Warning - I've not tried this but as a suggestion, you could use the new MS-3 with a looper pedal to set-up and layer different loops with effect combinations. It's not cheap but it's got a ton of switching options...

Think a few people have been waiting for this... a first comparison with the Zoom B3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcnF4tub84U

Good (but brief) demo from Dawsons... shows off a couple of patches and the looper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwqwPsnvt0Y I asked in Dawsons - in-store ETA in about a month (as of this post).

It's sort of a neat little model that you go more rootsy as you get older. I think there's less of a scene for rock and you get less credible as you get older, fatter and balder - ramping up the hair-dye, leather and eye-liner to compensate. These factors are less of an impediment for blues and jazz as the more gnarly you are the better... If it were Middle-Earth, Elves would play rock, Orcs blues, Goblins jazz, and Hobbits folk. And the Humans would play prog. Because it's Middle Earth.

Chap here demo'ing some of the presets... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7tf7AZLKFA&t=5s Can't say I'm terribly impressed... I wouldn't rush to use any of them out of the box... Hoping the unit is better when effect chains set-up to individual preferences.

Many overdrives for bass allow you to mix the wet overdriven signal with the dry uneffected tone to preserve the low end. Check out the Darkglass Vintage Deluxe pedals or Two Notes Le Bass pedals for example. These provide great always on grit and EQ options.

Right so now Boss have brought out the GT-1B... so less loop switching options but a built-in expression pedal. Hmmm, which one also GT-1B half the price of the MS-3. Anyone know the difference in effect sound quality? See related thread: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/307691-boss-gt-1b/

Came across this vid of some user created patches... best vid so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPMmiSS0pDk

Owner manuals and patch list up on the Boss site: https://static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/GT-1B_parameter_eng01_W.pdf Looks like a good selection with the ability to change effect order.

Some more vids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwzN5BsMW3o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D20RIGV2fn8 Andertons have it on at about £190.. Demos are a bit iffy - some uninspiring squeelch-o-tones on offer. But looks worth a try.

I live in Leamington, like Hadrien and am keen to support Bass Direct but had a Mug Shot and a Caramac instead. Was he good?

He's doing a social club in Leeds. Hope the members turning out for a pint of mild with a couple of comics, a drag act and then a few strippers are prepared for Stanley's face-melting fusion...

Basschatterers, So... 4 finger pluck propels me up a scalar line nicely up this pentatonic line: E-string: C (RH T), D (RH 1); A-string: F (RH 2), G (RH 3), G# (RH T), A (RH 1); D-string C (RH 2), D (RH 3) All one in two nice RH T123 sequences. What's the best way of coming back down? I'm using: D-string: D (RH T), C (RH 1); A-string A (RH 2), Ab (RH 3) G (RH T), F (RH 1); E-string D (RH 2), C (RH 3) That's seems to carry through the 4 finger RH patter but you have to separate your left hand direction mentally from your right hand. What would Matt Garrison do? What do you do?

What about a Heineken with Hadrien? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Home.html So many fusion bass players and nights out, and beers... what's going on?

I did say I was a newb on this... I have my looper before my Triple-delay to generate content for the soundscape. That's why even if I switch my looper out, the delay is effecting my real-time playing.

So Effect-enabled BC'ers, I'm new to the world of effects beyond stomping on a chorus or an octaver. Recently I've been getting into creating echo-driven soundscapes with a looper and delays. Currently I record these and then play over/under them. What's standard practise to do this in real-time? I.e. disconnect from the soundscape generating effects, letting them play on whilst switching over to my Two Notes LeBass grit tone for bass/solo duties? Would the new Boss MS-3 be good (expensive!) solution which could give me more options? Please advise...
