As you might know I use a similar device, the Roland VB99, at home - it’s kind of like a B1on in principle and I suppose it’s spoilt me for anything else but I do find the B1on really handy for taking out with the Wingbass; it even fits in the tiny gig bag pocket! I agree it sounds great for the price/size. Like you I managed to make a pretty quiet ‘clean’ patch which was created by delicately balancing the pre and effects (tend to use reverb) and also the limiter. There’s still some digital noise at the end of a long note as it starts to decay but hardly an issue for the price of the thing. However it doesn’t stop me thinking how great it would be to have a perfect sounding version. Or maybe I could stuff batteries in the VB99 🤔

I the actual sound processing better then the B1on? I find mine OK for messing about when travelling with my mini bass, but it's a tad noisy on some settings.

Always good to see more vids!

I had the Amplug - thought it was terrible; noisy, badly made and sounded horrible! Hopefully these are better - not that I'll be bidding :0)

With something like a bass which is quite a narrow surface I always try and separate the bass from the background, either with physical distance or by using something plain behind it. Ideally a camera with some control over the depth of field will allow you to make the background blurry so the bass ‘pops’

...and the opposite of what I thought!!

Same process really, it’s the fingerboard material that matters. Normally this will be some sort of plastic resin which may allow the frets to be removed without the splintering you get with wood. However often the neck and fretboard will be coated together as one piece so it might crack the varnish/finish but I guess you get wooden necks like that too. Edit: may well be incorrect, stand to be corrected by our resident experts. I just recall talking to someone who had a carbon necked Vigier converted

Doesn't mean people shouldn't use them - some brilliant players even manage to get by with P basses!

I can save some for you

Yep no problem, just send me he links in a PM and I'll combine them

Just search for the username in that forum, and it'll find the thread. Some people have a link to their thread in their profile. I don't think it's possible for us to embed it into their profile page but it might be at some point if the software allows.

Doesn’t function like a ramp though, the whole thing with a ramp is the feel under the plucking fingers. It’s use as a thumbrest is secondary.

Travelling without moving!

How can you do one without doing the other lol

Great video 🤘

I met Mr. Hellborg and all we talked about was paintball

Yeah get the Tecamp Also worth mentioning having toneprint is great because if you load in the Spectracomp you’ll have a better compressor than most heads with it ‘built in’

Move along then

You realise when you post one of these threads that’s me gone for the evening listening to music for hours!!

My fave bass line is on ‘The Fox’ Really tasty

Go to a bicycle shop and get a couple. If you have one nearby.

I’m the opposite - amazing bass and Harley Benton talent

It’s evolved along the way. The FC archives the original aim and the other is just another option for fun

That’s a hum cancelling coil and normally it sits flush with the surface
