So it's a jazz but with expensive fixings. Hmm. Seeing as I've never had a problem with the parts on HB basses, nor ever felt the need to change them then it's down to block inlays and the colours. Which of course is more than enough reason for me to buy one.

New venue for us last night. Cracking gig. One of those nights when the band was just flying. I used the SVT through two Barefaced 15s and it was glorious.

The new jazz range is being sold at 156 quid each. Just let that sink in. Brand new and proven quality instruments at a price you'd jump at if it was a comparable second hand instrument of most any other make. Glad so many people are coming around to just how good they are.

I'm sure he's right. But that's the way I got mine to sound how I like it

The good news is there's a few weeks before Thomann has them in stock. Like a built in cooling off period before you buy.

We have similar tastes! I'm having a red one and a green one. One day Maybe Unless I resist.

Turn everything up! Then use the master to level with the band

I love my CTM100. It's lighter than my SVT but has a wonderful sound. Through two Barefaced 15" cabs it is righteous.

This is my hunch.

Yep. Not the same bass.

Run into a brick wall with updating my firmware and getting the editing software to work. I've done all the things asked of me on the Hotone support page. Ran the update and windows tells me it worked and the pedal remains resolutely on V1.0.5. Anyone have any clues what I can do?

You raise excellent points. Hmmm. I wonder.

I think that's maybe a close up of the new range of j basses. 🤷‍♂️

The good reason to buy things that you don't need, is GAS. But if you're a more sensible than me then the B1 4 is more than adequate.

Thanks Al. Yeah I weakened and spent money I didn't really have. Only had one evening to play so far. Mixed results. 1: Couldn't for the life of me get the computer to recognise the unit. I have high hopes that the FB group has the solution. 2: extremely simple to use via the touchscreen. I've already built a couple of very useable synth patches. I have an extra footswitch on the way and an expression pedal to play with, there's a YouTube video about these extras which looks really cool.

Is the official Ampero group? Can I come in?

I sorted my problem with the update not working. It didn't like my Xiaomi phone. Linked it to my tablet and it worked.

Always fancied one of these. Now I am definitely smelling gas.

If you want to do it on the bass then crack on I say. What could be more fun? There's a boss filter with vowel sounds and a bloody great heavy thing I used to have would talk to you . Can't remember it's name so I'm not much help. But I love the creativity in your idea.

Thank you for an entirely straightforward transaction. Excellent Comms, arrived in very good time, very well packaged and exactly as described. I'm delighted to recommend this most excellent Basschatter to the community.

They are way better than their price point suggests. The B1-ON is where I started and I've used so many multi effects since, but I still have the B1-ON. Unlike many of their competitors there's no lag when changing patches, they have very useable synth sounds, an excellent tuner, run on batteries, a looper, drum patterns, aux in. Great for home practice and plenty good enough for live work

That's all there is! I did a quick recording after removing the original bass
