    You're right, it's not the progress that's the issue, digital guts under the hood is fine, it's the interface that I find lacking, the UX/UI aspect. I use tech all day every day, although I'm a graphic designer I have also been an IT manager/purchaser in some roles alongside that, the last time looking after 50 PCs, servers, routers, firewalls etcs. The time before that 60, over two sites. I'm more than capable of dealing with the more complex interfaces that come with all these modellers, I just don't want to. I don't feel that any of the folks working on this stuff are meeting us in the middle. It's maybe not the best example although there are parallels, the original spin and click wheel for the old school Apple iPod was by far the most elegant and intuitive solution for an mp3 player back in the day, and it was never bested. I wonder which pedal manufacturer will crack the on pedal interface first, I think they're still a way off at the moment...

    That's the problem right there though, I don't want to have to program anything, I just want to dial in stuff quickly and easily that works out of the box with bass in mind. I know I could get a whole lot more, and likely better stuff from a Helix, but I don't have the time or patience for it at the moment, and although I love all my separate pedals, when sometimes I only have 15 mins to noodle, I don't want to spend 5 minutes of that setting up. On the note of amp sims, I'm not all that keen on cab sims, but I like amp sims just to get a different flavour, it's a quick and easy way to do it. I understand that a lot of folks will think this new Boss unit is 10 years out of date, but from what I have read on here, and elsewhere, there's still an appetite for this kind of thing. The recent resurgence of DOD pedals has come with a lot of calls for them to reissue some of their older style multi effects pedals too, but not to ape anything like the Line 6 offerings, I think like in a lot of other walks in life, some of us are getting a bit of digital fatigue...

    There is some use of it in a band context in the Andertons review >>

    Your experience and reactions sound similar to mine, the interface is SO important. I also find a lot of the current lot of multi effects solutions, like the HX and even the Boos GT range frustrating in that there's only a smattering of bass specific stuff, and the rest is very much guitar focussed. As soon as the guitar version, the ME 90 came out earlier in the year, I have been bemoaning the fact that a bass one had not come out, and how it would be a great idea, and how I would buy one. Well, it would've been rude not to now it seems Eude

    That's it! I've heard more than enough! I've ordered one!
  6. eude
    I'm sure there's more than a hint or truth in that, but I have found a few unsponsored reviews too.
  7. eude
    I haven't heard any complaints so far in any reviews I've watched on YouTube.

    I know, it's just my wish list. If there was a way to make the menu diving as minimal as possible, super intuitive and quick, it would help. I might email Boss

    Thank you!

    It sounds like you have exactly the same mindset as me! I think you've got me convinced! One last question though, what's the build quality like, compared to the old ME 50B?
  11. eude
    I have tried the Helix stuff and for someone that's time poor, its just too much faffing around.
  12. eude
    Thanks for that dude, it just SEEMS big compared to the likes of an HX Stomp, which size and build quality would be my ideal, but the Stomp is just too fiddly to use without a computer. I don't have the time, or inclination to sit down and set things up, as I'd rather just play, and that's where the ME 90B really comes into it's own.
  13. eude
    I really love the idea of this, I had been hoping for a new ME series Bass specific release, but why does it have to be SO massive?! I think I am still highly likely to buy one, but here's what I thought they should've done... Small sturdy platform, with real foot switches for each effect, much like an HX Effects in layout? Option for an external expression pedal, to keep the size down. One comprehensive set of knobs, which map to whichever effect you are editing, without having dual purposes assigned to multiple knobs. Decent display telling you what you are editing and what the knobs do, per effect. I guess what I'm describing here is kind of a mashup between the Boss ME 90B, an HX Effects and maybe the Zoom B6? I love how far multi effects have come, but why oh why do they have to be SO fiddly and often require hooking up to a computer to get the best out of them? Playing music should be fun and free, it shouldn't require us to be shackled to a computer screen... Anyway, as you were. I expect I'll have a NPB post soon enough Eude

    All very good to hear dude. What's the specs of the new one?
  15. eude
    Please report on how loud it is when you can. I suspect it's got quite a bit of poke.
  16. eude
    Jings, this sounds great!
  17. eude
    Sorry mate, sale only I'm afraid.
  18. eude
    Really good to see. I appreciate he's been through it a bit, but hasn't helped himself either. He very much seems to have found his mojo more recently however, and he really love his little single cuts he's doing. What kinda single cut shape are you going for, a scaled up version of the little ones?
  19. eude
    Needs must sadly 🥺 I can say I'll never play anything but ACGs though. I don't have anything in 34" flavour but I may have a 31.5" Über 5er to move.
  20. eude
    Thank you matey!
  21. eude
    Thank you! Yes, flat fingerboards and asymmetrical necks. I should probably add that to the listing!...

    WITHDRAWN FROM SALE I am sadly selling several of my ACGs, needing to thin the heard a little. Here we have an immaculate ACG Krell SC E Type, a stunning example of ACG's work. This is a 6 string, tuned B to C, headless, set-neck construction. The scale length is 31.5" and the playability is incredible, the low B is musical and lacks nothing compared to long scale basses. As you will see from the design at the "head end", the strings are held in with grub screws so you can use any strings you want, you are not tied to double ball end strings. Official listing on the ACG site here >> https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0288krelletype6/ Here's a video of some noodles >> Specs as follows >> Top Wood: Fractal Birch Body Core: White Limba, 55mm thick and Chambered Accent: Purpleheart Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck: 3-piece Purpleheart/Wenge with asymmetrical profile Fingerboard: Mac Ebony with Pearwood fretlines at 1/3/5etc Purpleheart in the rest and flat/zero radius Scale: 31.5″ Neck Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG FB pickups (stacked sidewinder style humbuckers, wired in parallel, hand wound by Aaron Armstrong) Hardware: ETS tuning/Bridge unit, ACG Headpiece, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks La Bella RX Nickel Strings (30-130) Pre-amp: ACG DFM 4K (This is the full fat flagship ACG filter preamp) The bass comes with a top of the range Fusion F1 guitar sized gigbag, also in mint condition and a perfect fit. The bass is in perfect condition, never been gigged, home use only. Price is £2150 ono, no trades please. I am selling a fretted 6 string headless in another ad, and I would be willing to do a deal on these as a pair. Shipping at buyer's expense. Cheers, Eude

    WITHDRAWN FROM SALE I am sadly selling several of my ACGs, needing to thin the heard a little. Here we have an immaculate ACG Salace E Type. This is a 6 string, tuned B to C, headless, bolt-on construction. The scale length is 31.5" and the playability is incredible, the low B is musical and lacks nothing compared to long scale basses. As you will see from the design at the "head end", the strings are held in with grub screws so you can use any strings you want, you are not tied to double ball end strings. The bass is very lightweight for a 6er, I would guess just about 8 lbs. The design is super ergonomic both seated and standing, but without looking like one of those weird ergo basses Official listing on the ACG site here >> https://acguitars.co.uk/project/0211-salace-e-type-headless-6/ You can also here some sound samples here >> And finally, a video of some noodles here >> Specs as follows >> Top Wood: Flame Koa Back Wood: Mahogany Body Core: Spruce Accent Veneer: Black Body Finish: Satin Lacquer Neck: 3-piece American Ash with asymmetrical profile Fingerboard: Cocobolo with flat/zero radius Scale: 31.5″ Back Plate: Koa Neck Finish: Satin Laquer Pickups: 2 x ACG FB (stacked sidewinder style humbuckers, wired in series, hand wound by Aaron Armstrong) Hardware: ETS tuning unit and bridge, ACG Custom Headpiece, Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks, ACG/Newton Custom Nickel Strings (28-125TW), East Low Battery Indicator Pre-amp: East Uni-Pre 4K (3 band with adjustable mids, passive tone control and active/passive switching) The bass comes with a top of the range Fusion Urban guitar sized gigbag, also in mint condition and a perfect fit.

    That is very cool!

    I did kinda fancy this on paper, but I honestly think the Zoom MS-60B+ will spank this when it comes out June/July, for most applications anyway. It's nice that Line6 have done a bass specific product though, it's about time! I wonder what might come along in the future?...
