Oooooh. So the only decision now us which colour..

Honestly there is so much variety available given not just the multiplicity of tone knobs, but the ultra high/ultra low switches and above all the shape control. I keep this around the 10 to 12 area as I particularly like it there but it offers a lot of choice

Thank you. I will give it all some serious thought. Particularly in respect to application.

This is really cool. Could have some bass application too https://youtu.be/acsJg2pMCeY

Not got it yet. Spent my money unwisely, but it'll be happening soon. That demo is amazing

Yeah I believe they will have a rhythm section, but then I hoped Cory Wong would be bringing the Wongnotes so what do I know?

Next, I'm seeing Larkin Poe, but I'm more excited by having just scored a ticket to see Norm with Wilko Johnson in July.

Hmm. Beginning to wonder if maybe others don't share my love of these Harley Benton basses

Ah but we don't know if it is the same as the Aria. And fwiw 400 would be extremely expensive for a HB. But I take your point, if it's the same as a £400 Aria, given the HB pricing structure it would cost about 50 quid

Desmond Cory?

Oof. It's merely a tiny leak at present, I've not done anything like research. Are they not same as a normal 6 string? Tuning wise I mean

Erm, you recommending it Frank? Or trying to put me off 😂

I'm not in full blown gas, but there's been a small leak

If I get one of these, can I still hold my head up on a bass forum? Or are they just a gateway drug leading inevitably towards the guitar?

I generally with until my basket hits the free postage point before I buy. With a sexy new HB bass in the offing I doubt this will prove difficult.

Believe me it's unusual for me to go for the expensive option in life, in fact very strange indeed. But in this case I believe it's the right option for me. It's simple to edit effects and patches without recourse to a computer, I believe the effects I use most sound better than my other Zoom pedals, the big screen is visible to my lousy eyesight, the tuner is excellent, the effects bypass switch a good addition, the overall tone and volume controls with real life knobs priceless, the DI out useful for me, two inputs useful for me, the different colours for different effects being mirrored on the switches is great on stage, the effects loop a welcome addition, the scene mode for songs is cool. It ain't perfect. I'd have preferred an expression pedal built in like the guitar model has, I'd have liked a couple more foot switches - but four is actually ok for me - and the DI switches seem not to make much difference to my ears. It's a bit big but I'm old and short sighted so that's ok.

I remodelled a headstock with no special tools. Hacksaw, lots of sandpaper and patience. It's the painting would stymie me

eBay has some from China for under a tenner but they're opaque. Covering the bass is one thing, but you still want to see it though.

Cool. If you're happy with the B3n, then you win! Saved a bag full of money.
