I don’t like how they’ve used squiggles under the foot switches. How is anyone meant to understand what they do I mean who do they think they are? Barefaced? *ducks and hides*

Oh I did actually explain that it could be done

Apologies to your mate I though I'd posted my initial answer to the question with the explanation, how multiple effects could be assigned to one foot switch i.e. octave and filter etc... I can always go back and edit it in later. The basic operation of the unit was covered in that getting started sheet included in the box whihc is actually quite helpful... but from my earlier non-post... Firstly read the getting started guide, then the manual and if you're still struggling Press VIEW (or PAGE) until you see the fx block chain, scroll to the effect you wish to assign to the foot switch, 'touch' don't stomp the foot switch you wish to assign it to and confirm selection. Press VIEW (or PAGE) until it displays an effect name above each foot switch as in 'foot switch mode' and hey presto! The third switch defaults to the tap/tuner. Save the patch the normal way - you can fine tune to this so if you want that effect on as soon as you select the patch save it with the patch engaged. If not turn the effect off (by pressing clicking the foot switch, not touching it) then re-save and the effect will be assigned but not engaged until activated. @Al Krow feel free to refer your mate to this post *Edit* I’ve added a pic - it shows I have the compressor and a cab IR as switchable options. It’s quite clear on the unit which effects are assigned to each FS between the colour coding and the text on screen. You could set up a single FS to engage one effect while turning off another in a kinda A/B fashion too. It’s pretty intuitive once you understand the basic editing on the unit itself. I’m sure there’s You Tube videos demonstrating how to. I have two back ups one from before the software update to 2.92 and one before the 3.0 update but was advised by Line 6 to wipe everything L6 related off the laptop as there may have been an alias file somewhere on the HHD which was causing the 'glitch' and defaulting back to 2.92 as I mentioned previously. The update to 3.0.1 seems to have sorted that end of the mystery. I'm just working through getting them back on the HDD/Stomp as I've not really been at the laptop for 9-10 days due to my own shifts and covering at work (covid, assualts etc. you'll understand I'm sure) but have them on a memory stick. Always best to have a back up 'off the device' in my experience. I've never had to load them from the memory stick before but once I check the manual/You Tube I figure I'll be right! Fixed!

I have to laugh as I often wonder if you fully understand your kit - you’ve owned both these units, written extensively over multiple threads and read all the posts and are able to recall who’s said what! By now you surely have a grasp of the capabilities of these units which share the same core editing and processing - you’ve enough hours under the hood by now no?

Footswitch mode if he’s just using the stomp to active an effect like he would on the FX all he needs to do is assign it to a footswitch. Multiple effect can be assigned to one switch so he could have pitch and octave on one switch or any thing he wants. A link to the manual might be useful.

Yeah I did a save but think I eff’d it up a bit😀

@Al Krow you mentioned some synth setting/patches you had developed and liked either on here or the synth thread... I'd be keen to try them - I lost all my patches trying to update the other week and while they shouldn't be too hard to rebuild a few tried and tested patches would always be welcome and some info on the inspiration for or songs they work well on too would be really useful. SAme goes if anyone else has already posted a patch or two especially using the new features on the Stomp I'll be back to Dr Tone to tweak and work on his patches too as I had used his SVT as a building block on some of my patches too.

Well I guess he'd be the man to know all things considered but as I say reading the spec sheet for his bass and the for the 734/BBP34 they're identical from what I can see. It's not to say Yamaha didn't decide on the 1200 spec in designing the 700/BBP.

In other news after a long run of shifts I've had time to sit at my laptop again and I've successfully managed to update my Stomp and HX edit to 3.01.0. Looking forward to having a proper play now I've a few days off!

It appears to be the 734 but with the PH preamp/no jazz pu. It's possible they have a special neck profile but from the description it reads like the 734 matt finish nut width etc

I know who they are I was more enquiring if that’s where he placed his order. But thank you.

I was doing a live stream/fb thing last night and I lost all settings in the update/3.00.0 saga I alluded to earlier. I easily pulled up a factory preset for the B-15 patch (tuck n go), stuck in a parametric eq and had a sound in the time it took the singer to plug in his mic, tune his guitar and calm down from being quite the diva... yes I had about an hour but only needed about 3-4 minutes using the stomp interface. It had been updated to 3.00.0 it’s just my Mac which appears to be baffled atm

PMT?

It’s no criticism Dave. I don’t own a Yamaha but I’m slabbering away over on that thread😀

I was gonna say 😀

BBunt?

It was a Saturday that’s gonna be a big factor!

I still believe that they (the JMJ) isn’t a massive production and they do them in batches The PHBB will likely be the same one run wait and see how it goes. Most likely a batch each financial quarter

Depends if you’re serious about trying a RP/J or just kicking tyres. There’s options out there which might be a step back in quality as you say but no less worth trying and they can always be shifted on for little ‘net loss’. Honestly grab a cheapie and do some diy and experimentation at home. It’s a lot of fun and with a Ki0g0n wiring loom you don’t even need to be able to solder. A fun way to satisfy curiosity for very little money.

Although not a Bb I have a p bass which allows me to have my p pick up in either the classic Fender sweet spot or a reverse P position. As it’s in the same bass using the same pick I can say up you get a little more fullness in the G and D and a tighter sound on the E and A. It’s not gonna go into jazz bass territory but it’s a nice tweak and on some basses with the right pick up it can just sweeten the bass in a way which eq or preamp can’t quite nail. As an aside It might be too subtle for some but if you can afford a cheapie bass get a local luthier (or even DIY it) to make a route to accommodate reverse p and experiment. A cheap HB bass would be an ideal candidate and it means you could experiment with pick ups and reversing them til your hearts content. Migh nab one of these Hooky BB’s and shift it on down the road. I think the 734 is a better looking model but for the prices these PHBB’s are fetching might be worth a punt!

It could just be the first production run is limited and if there’s demand they’ll do more. Not uncommon practice especially on a sig model. I think the JMJ basses were quite limited initially rather than producing 10,000 units kinda thing.

Thank God I thought it was some sort of U.K. version of a Karen!

Two weddings I’m guessing possibly of band members or close friends of the band😀... and remind me who/what are Cassandras?

I like the colour but overall I’d prefer the black 734

The prices went daft on these in the used market. Well put together basses and likely pulled due to their high quality... ironically!
