Has anyone experienced any "process overflow" issues with the B3n? I'm not sure whether to replace my MS-60B for a B3n OR buy a B1Four to add to the MS-60B and run the two together. I'd use the MS-60B for tuner, & always on HPF & compressor and the B1Four for amp Sims, cab Sims, & the odd effects. Seems to me that I would have more DSP processor capacity with the MS-60B + B1Four than just the B3n alone. The specs indicate that the same DSP is used in B1Four & B3n but probably with different memory capacity. There doesn't seem to be too much difference in footprint on the pedal board either.

That's a really lovely bass. Oh my! I want one! Oh dear I think need to change my underwear! 🤐

+1 For the stock Tone print. I have not tried all the Tone prints on offer but the ones I did try, IMO there was nothing really better than the stock.

On the Zoom MS-60B I use two or three "AC Bs Pre" in series to provide a HPF at 40Hz with a 24 or 36 db/Octave slope (12db/Octave is standard on each AC Bs Pre). Can the "Low EQ" HPF on the B3n offer a similar performance solution? I'm considering replacing my MS-60B with a B3n and I'd like to hear from you Guys if the HPF is as good as the one I currently have on the MS-60B.

I purchased a loaded Squier Jazz body from George, the whole transaction was perfect. Excellent comms, packaging, & shipping . A top class Guy to deal with. George is a real gentleman trade with confidence.

+1 Likewise my Spectracomp is an "always on" effect so the small boost in volume is balanced out with gain adjustments in the Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe DI. Great bit of kit, stock profile and one knob! "Simples!"

Now that's a neat idea. Bit pricey !

+1 ☺

Good choice! You won't be disappointed, enjoy!

Purchased a couple of JBX Pups from Mr Wishbone , excellent gent to deal with, prompt, great comms, first class packaging and shipping.

Gareth, the maple neck bass looks awesome. Soooo envious! It just looks right, you're one lucky Guy.

+1 The XR-18 is a fantastic bit of kit.It provides a full channel record output which allows you to re-mix the recording back at home on your PC with your preferred DAW software. The monitor outputs provide individual mix preferences so IEM could be rolled out band member by band member if they chose to do so. As Jack said each band member could have their own tablet and control their monitor mix or help out with FOH mix if problems arise. It shares the overall sound control responsibility! If you want something simpler then the XR-12 may fit the bill. There are masses of You Tube tutorials to help master all the features. If you really want to go "posh" there's the MR-18 which has studio quality pre-amps.

Excellent point Mr Krow. I'll be following this with interest to see the comments from all sides.

+1 Great Bass, my Sea Foam Green has an active 3 band EQ 9v preamp it's very versatile looks handsome and a dream to play. I could swear that the Jazz neck is identical to the the MIM Geddy Lee Jazz bass.

You've got to love fairy lights anytime of the year 😂

So, there appears to be many comments on the various threads here regarding the merits of Amp Sims on people's favourite pedals. Many Basschatters have enthused on the authenticity and quality of Amp Sims on the Helix Stomp over the Zoom B3n for example so I thought it would be helpful to bring together the opinions of users to build a form of "League Table of Amp Sims". I suppose there are many, like me, who have enjoyed the offerings of Line 6 Bass POD, Bass POD Floor and analogue Sims such Tech21 VT Bass DI and VT Bass Deluxe, not forgetting BassBDI21 and the early Zoom pedals of the past. So how much has the authenticity of our Amp Sims improved with each new innovation that is launched onto the market? Is it really possible for someone in the audience to differentiate between the real thing and a software simulation? Is the difference between each new innovation worth our hard earned cash? @Al Krow, @Osiris, @Gottastopbuyinggear, @lemmywinks, @PaulWarning, @mcnach, @CameronJ, @jrixn1, @Bigwan, @Jus Lukin, @Opticaleye

DiMazio Split P with a @KiOgon loom with CTS's . Huge sound range from Old School to glass like highs.

+1 Two Super Compacts seems to me to be a very flexible solution.

@Lozz196 thanks for your views.

Did you consider the WL-50 when purchased the WL-20 ?

Following this thread. Could the WL50 feedback be added?

The main job is cosmetic and protecting the speaker of course and as you can't always control what happens in a gig anything sitting next to the drummist..... I stand corrected. Apologies for any of my misleading opinions!

As the steel grille has a substantial gauge and is fixed with screws & a double sided rubber gasket IMHO the grille adds to the stiffness of the overall cab. I'm sure @stevie, @Phil Starr, and @Chienmortbb will be along shortly to chime in with their more expert knowledge. I am not a sound/audio engineer but from my mechanical engineering background IMHO it contributes to the rigidity.
