¡Bienvenido Oceansize! I know they speak Catalan in Barcelona, but I don't speak Catalan 🙂

Welcome Jeezy! My eyes are out on stalks - you've got some serious kit there.

Hi Ivan. Welcome back (says the guy who has only been a member 2 weeks) 🙂

Hi Al, welcome to Basschat. Put the kettle on...

That's a great endorsement Phil. I already feel like that and my pedal is still in the tender care of Hermes.

Welcome NT. Enjoy the banter. I'm a recent joiner and loving it.

For all it does, the original price was unbelievably good. I found someone selling a very good used/boxed unit on a well-known auction site and it came in under half of what it would be brand new - though they don't seem to be manufactured any more. I'd probably buy it just for the fretless and octave divider effects but a tuner/drumbox will come in useful and a looper will be a giggle for practice. Not too many bells and whistles so I can concentrate on getting back to playing bass half-decently after a long layoff.

Guys, I watched Scott Whitley's YouTube video unboxing the Zoom B1on and I bought it for a very fair price on eBay. My divorce will cost rather more I fear... Again, I thank you all for your advice. This unit is just too nuts to ignore at the price.

I'd like to thank you all for your advice. After a STUPID amount of research, I've installed Dr. Machine Jr and Loopz! on my Xperia Z3 Compact smartphone. They will start me off. The Beat Buddy/Mini/Mini 2 are on my radar and I'm 'watching' a couple of SR-16s too. @BassApprentice I just saw your post. Thank you, I'll check out the Zoom.

Welcome BL. I think you landed in a great spot - and for all the right reasons 🙂 I've just been enjoying your "Cissy Strut" bass cover. I think I need to have a go at that.

Hi, not sure if this should be asked in the Effects forum. I am returning to bass playing after at 10-year layoff (at least). I'm trying make practising easier and bit more fun. I'm hoping to get your advice on a small, relatively uncomplicated drum machine that I can leave running while I practice and doesn't need constant programming. I've seen many guitarists so involved with the tech that they forgot to play music - I'm 62 and I don't have time for that. My eye is drawn to the Korg KR Mini but I'm wondering if that is *too* simple. I've never owned a drum machine - just borrowed a nice Yamaha, but that was over 30 years ago and I have no feel for what's good now. Alesis SR16 looks decent but that looks like it's too far to the complicated end of things. Help!

Hi OkiAkuma. Love your style - love your bass. Welcome!

I got a Play Station 1 for my 40th birthday. Bust-a-Groove is the only game I bought. I think I'm hearing a Fender Jazz on here - what do you think? Bass player is credited on Discogs I think, but I'm supposed to be working...

You can probably guess who's behind this. And you'd be right!

Welcome Supernaut. All of life is here.

I'll try to find out. I thought they had something out last year but could have been a compilation.

BS, that describes me too. DTTB are fantastic and I love lncognito/Citrus Sun and Ronny Jordan too. This track is superb.

The bass is lovely. I think Kimpel is more of a star in the gospel world than funk or jazz so it took this track to make me aware of him. Old soul boy that I am, I love the reference to Rufus & Chaka Khan's 'Stop on By' right near the end. Heaven.

I love the music of Donald Byrd, and love what the Blackbyrds do - so I was always going to love this. The bass is crisper than a crisp thing.

Some blues guitarists would sell their soul (it is said) to play certain licks. I think I'd trade mine to play like Larry Kimpel does on here.

Nice lazy, jazzy vibe where the bass is doing nice things.

Those of a nervous disposition look away now...

I love this track. And I love looking at anything with Cragar S/S rims on. Wheel porn.

Welcome KN - Happy Birthday - you're three years younger than me and I'm just looking to re-start playing bass too after a long sloth-induced absence. Enjoy this - it's a great thing to be doing.

I would be failing miserably if at this stage in my Basschat journey (oh yes, I said it) I failed to post this 44-year old slab of heaven. Low bass = Charles Meeks High bass = Patrice Rushen (I have tears in my eyes typing this - this tells you everything there is to know about me)
