Is there any difference in the pitch they are centred on for tracking purposes? I know with the Boss OC-5 octaver and Boss SY-1 synth (but interestingly not the Boss SY-200) pedals have a bass/guitar selector switch to optimise the pedal for whichever you're playing.
-
That's a chunky price - hoping it will be closer to around £130 when the MS-60B+ lands here in the UK.
-
+1^^ In case you've not seen - this is was quite a comprehensive thread: Which wireless? - Accessories and Misc - Basschat

Thanks gents. Pulling that together: Pre-order price of the unit €299.00 (I see this has already been reduced from €359.00) £1 GBP = €1.1346 EUR (current for Paypal) Add taxes of 22.5% & £12 admin fee Cost of a new Mk4 can be expected to be around £335 delivered to your door in the UK.
-
So what's the cost of a new FI Mk4 going to be delivered to our door with taxes, import duties etc. added on?
-
How are you getting on with the B1-4? I suspect to @tauzero's shock, I will say that if there's one niggle I have with the Zoom B1-4, it's that it's a noisier than I would like with one of my gigging basses and I end up using a "Motown" patch with a cut at 1.6kHz and 3.2kHz plus the Zoom noise reduction sim on all of my patches as standard. But given the flexibility it offers elsewhere for its ridiculously low price point, I've been able to live with that work around. Don't know if other B1-4 users have had a similar issue? I'm hoping that the MS-60B+ with its improved chip set will be less noisy.

I don't follow. If Panda Audio are not making enough sales to be registered for VAT then they don't need to charge VAT. And even if they are registered for VAT then there is zero VAT on exports by them, but we add VAT on when it comes into the UK. Either way I don't see how it differs from a US seller really? Paging @Steve Browning who, unlike me, knows what he's talking about when it comes to VAT!
-
I guess if Panda are not VAT registered, then I could see it making a difference. Need someone above my pay grade on VAT issues to explain it better though! No different to importing kit from the USA, Japan, Korea, Indonesia or China though?
-
But wasn't that always the case on new gear? My point is that hasn't changed, we've always had to pay VAT on new kit whether from home or abroad - shouldn't be a surprise?
-
Has that changed for new bits of kit compared to what it was before? (I'm aware there is now VAT to pay on used kit).
-
Interesting insight. Funniest was that he went on to slag off rival Chinese products - which is ironic given that my Yamaha BB1025, which I adored, was made in China.
-
Thanks - as you rightly point out the MS-60 just has a USB port (the older USB 2 from the looks of it) so the new model isn't going to have any less connectivity than its predecessor.

Well it seems the Pod Express is not being pitched as for live use pedal by Line 6: "You'll notice none of our in situ photography shows POD Express on a stage or with other pedals—it's always shown on a desktop or outside at the beach or campground." Eric Klein, Chief Product Design Architect, Yamaha Guitar Group | Line 6 | Ampeg - Talkbass 8 Mar I'd love to find more beach use for my bass playing, just can't see that happening any time soon.
-
Yeah - we've all gotta get our pumped up kicks somewhere 😅 It's going to be the MS-60B+ in 4 months time, I suspect.
-
Is there are a particular make/model of Irish bouzouki you'd recommend for someone starting out? It's something I've been thinking about getting too, so was interested when this thread popped up!
-
Nice one! Great stuff getting on national radio!
-
Yeah the current MS-60B has an external midi footswitch connection to make live use easier, which the new MS-50B+ is lacking which is a shame assuming the same will be true of the MS-60B+. But fingers crossed that scrolling through the patches using the bottom two scroll pads should be doable with a bit of care. Dunno if the USB-C port might allow connectivity to external footswitches or is going to be limited to patch editing duties?

Zoom unveils the next generation of its cult classic MultiStomp pedal | Guitar World "The MS-50G+ essentially puts the company’s latest G2 Four multi-effects pedal into a compact chassis." @TRBboy - as you know, that's the question I've been wanting to find out i.e. is this going to be an upgraded chipset as compared to the decade old MS-60B? If that statement about the 50G+ is correct then it looks like a definite yes! In which case colour me super excited - I usually wait to pick up my pedals used in case I decide to move them on at a later date 'cos it's a great way to try them out without too much value depreciation as we know, but if Zoom are going to be delivering the B2-Four in a compact chassis for around £130, I'll be making an exception for the MS-60B+ 😊
-
@gumtown - sounds great! Love to see your kit in action live if you've any clips available to share?
-
Wow - that is some combo of SY-1000 & GM-800!! What context are you using them - mostly home/studio stuff or also for live use?
-
Would that be short scale?
-
Nice one! Do you reckon you maybe could ask them if they're going to be using the same chipset as the MS-60B or will they be taking the opportunity to upgrade? [Hint @ Zoom if you're listening: the MS-60B came out in Feb 2013 - and I remember buying my first one later that year!] Sorry for the thread hijack...back to Line 6 & Yamaha 😊

Line 6 POD Express Bass - Effects - Basschat Being discussed in more detail on this dedicated thread (including price - £190)

I think the detailed YT review that @TRBboy shared was super useful. I felt that the most of the fx ranged from meh (e.g. the octave down was glitchy, the filter/synth nothing to write home about), passable (dirt) to decent (chorus / modulation) - be interested to hear what other folks reaction to that clip was or whether I'm being too harsh? Love the form factor though. Personally I'm going to wait and see what bag of tricks Zoom have in store with the similarly compact form factor MS-60B Plus due out this year.
-
That's a really useful review thanks @TRBboy - thanks! Not quite adding enough and gaps in its armoury like lack of EQ control means that I'll be sticking with my trusty Zoom B1-4 for now.
