Ok Cool, I'm wondering how the bass will sound with the headrush...Plug your bass in and let me know 🙂

Hi yes Thanks for your comments your right from what I've heard the RCA does sound great actually I've got an older Genz Shuttle 9.0 and 2 x NYC 121s which are fine but having just got hold of the Zoom B3 I'd really just like to run the amp sims and fx from there.plus going from the p Bass to upright then 5 string or even fret less is a pain tweaking eq's and volume levels etc...I now have patches set up for all of these instruments. I've tried a Gen 1 Mackie with the Zoom but wasn't that happy with that sound, so I'm looking to The FRFR or powered speaker/monitor option or even the bassics A900 power amp with the Zoom and my existing cabs.... I just dont know !!!

Hi I'm almost, well 75% I'd say committed to switching to FRFR cabs. The head rush being 1 of many.....apart from the obvious ( the unwillingness to accept change ) Is there anyone who has gone down this route that now regrets the descison, if so why ? Thanks https://www.gak.co.uk/en/headrush-frfr-108-active-guitar-cabinet/923305?gclid=Cj0KCQiAs67yBRC7ARIsAF49CdUy1OMiwcGPwYrmbe98EvbovNRHSbES_ExLqcN8J8LK1AJMyBhzxq8aAhSQEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I've just got a B3 now discontinued.I've been using the Mb60 stomp box live until now.I love the software editing of patches and the ability to download and save ,Usb connection to my mac allows recording directly to my DAW(Garage Band) essentially an audio interface.You have to really plan your banks of fx as only 3 are available at any given time but with a little thought this Isn't a problem..I've found it to be little noisy especially the compressors but if you lower their gain then that's sorted. Its uses for me are 1) Playing the upright live.The b3 can give you more control over your sound be it compression, pre amp, cab sim or eq( it will never replace a good set of mics but we all know the problem of miking up an upright in a live situation. Tc have a chorus effect called "The widener" does what it says on the tin and fantastic for spreading the upright sound around the stereo spectrum. I've recreated this with the ensemble effect, which is really neat for the upright 2) Enhancing the fretless.It's been a good send in this dept.The Bass now has a unique voice well Jaco really but without the chops.. I could go on. Iv'e set a patch for the Jazz bass based on Marcus sound and the P Bass sounds like it's come straight out of detroit well circa 1965. In conclusion I've never really had a great studio sound as most engineers understandably can't read your mind when you have a sonic idea in your head.With the B3 I can now rock up and have several options at my finger tips unfortunately with studios closing down and Digital recording available to all I can't see this happening soon. Great piece of gear though...

Excellent just waiting for the Bravo it should be here before Xmas Cheers

Sorry, I meant that I've returned my Re union blues In order to get the Blake. It works out to be 1/3 of the price of the Re-union and I might just order 2 of the Blake's instead ? My issue with was with the Ebay seller who has a no return policy on the Blakes and I was enquiring wether or not you'd got yours from the same place and wether the seller could be trusted Thanks

Hi,I really Like the look of these,so much so that I've just cancelled my order Re Union blues order,but the ebay seller I'm dealing with doesn't have a return policy. Is it the same seller you got yours from ? Thanks https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333430816553?ViewItem=&item=333430816553

Nice .... I tend to hire older musicians as in my experience the younger ones don't have the skill or the other things that go with being a pro, transport gear sound, punctuality, etc there is always something lacking. Maybe I'm being discriminatory ?

Hi Did you find any for this is the idea still viable ? http:// http://paulfrancisbass.webs.com

Yes I agree..If it was a major act I'd make the effort but for this, I doubt it

Hi did you find anyone for this yet ? Regards https://paulfrancisbass.webs.com

Hi I could be mistaken but when I was teaching at The Acm we had one with very low out put....Don't know how but it was operating passively no pre amp ? have you checked the pre amp section ?

Hi My John East J retro 1 has been amazing up until last week and I'm still not sure if its the jack socket or the pre-amp Problems 1) The passive switch now no longer works 2) When the volume control is turned all the way up volume disappears. Anybody else encounter the same problem ?

"They were absolutely fantastic, bringing the entire audience roaring to its feet." Telegraph Peggy Lee was one of the great figures of jazz and American popular song, with a career spanning six decades. Sinatra called her 'regal'; Duke Ellington called her 'the queen'. She wrote and sang for Disney's Lady And The Tramp and had a string of hits stretching from her early days with Benny Goodman until the 1990s. In this wonderful show, jazz vocalist Jo Harrop pays tribute to the sultriest songstress of all, delivering moving renditions of classics such as Fever, Why Don't You do Right and The Folks Who Live On The HIll. Featuring Alex Webb on piano, Paul Francis on bass, Joel Prime on drums and special guest Tony Kofi on alto sax

Thanks so much to Jazz Jurasica #JulieSheppard #Theswim for giving us the opportunity to play at th festival. I think the balance of some of our original instrumentals plus some classic funkier vocal tunes seemed to work really well ! Everyone from the sound,restaurant staff and the audience made us feel welcome,so nothing but praise from the band.#robpalmer#terryquinney #tomvalelly #veroniquejoly Regards Paul Francis
