Great little thing, got any sounds to share?

Not yet, I’ll have that pleasure in a few days I guess

Heathrow - now we wait!!

I suspect the hardware varies a little, but Roland will be along to give more info in due course. I suppose the bass market is a much smaller niche than guitar, so the investment needed was going to end up making the bass model more expensive (that said I haven’t looked at the price of the guitar one) - I think the same was true of the VB99 vs VG99. I still think it’s a fair price if they’re as good as I expect (and that’s before I even think about the 3D settings and other features)

I think they look awesome - I love playing with headphones and have a pretty fearsome setup for use at home. A mobile version of that would be heaven. I’ve tried all the other solutions and they are all a compromise to a degree. I had a long chat with Roland about these (full disclosure, they are taking out some advertising and we’re helping them promote them) and I’ll be first on the list to buy a pair (yes, buy!). We talked about the fact that Roland make super quality kit which is sometimes very niche, rather than items with wider appeal with compromises. Bass players are already quite niche let alone those on board with a headphone setup. But most knock it before they’ve tried it - paired with a feedback device like a backbeat or a floorboard, it’s absolutely Hifi and tactile.

Black and maple

It’s on its way!

Missed that! Fair price I think given what they do and how well they’ll do it (I hope!)

My dream has come true - I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair. Released today and hopefully available by Xmas. https://www.boss.info/global/products/waza-air_bass/

Thanks very much

I like the look of the One Control Dimension pedal. I have a fetish for tiny pedals that take a battery 😆

Try the EWS stormy bass drive

Are you logged in as ‘anonymous’? Maybe log out and in again. Here’s how to be a supporting member: https://www.basschat.co.uk/store/product/2-marketplace-yearly-subscription/ Cheers 🥂

Because it’s £20 😂 I could maybe do a £20 donation with supporting status but it wouldn’t renew and would be a pain to organise ‘back stage’

You can be a supporting member and just not use the marketplace. Separating them into two products would be more complicated

The seller has been pretty slow with sorting shipping and packing (although he's been very busy and I'm not in any rush) - but I think it'll be posted this weekend. The neck looks like it's got a similar 'golden' colour to my SB1, I guess from the varnish over time (though SB1 is only 1991). Well if I hate it then you can buy this one

Hi there, can you email us at the link at the bottom of the page? Thanks

We’ll check if a wreath or similar would be ok, great idea Mick. I bet he’d have loved a bass shaped one (graphite reinforced)

Isn’t it incredible how many people can feel the good vibes of a single person through our little community. Buying and selling here has always been a pleasure because it takes trust, and more often than not leads to friendship. Martin’s family are truly humbled by the fantastic showing of memories and tributes posted here. What an awesome endorsement of the community and what a tribute to Martin.

That’s amazing. You’ve truly made that your own - it’s a fantastically coherent design and it looks like it’ll play itself. Congrats, I hope it’s everything you wanted. Does it have a nickname yet?

I was tempted with that but I gave myself a strict brief on the exact combo I was after, sort of hoping I wouldn't find one. And then I did. So it's kind of bad and good.

I'm pretty sure the Tributes use USA hardware and electronics, so the difference is in the wood and finishing. The tributes look like fantastic value, but then again the USA models feel amazing and go for a steal on the used market compared to their better known relatives. I've never played a tribute or seen one in the flesh, though. Based on video evidence alone I'd say the difference in sound is negligible. With any product like this with a diffusion line it's normally the higher priced line which is more consistent, the attention to detail such as the fretwork and feel of the neck etc will be paid more attention, but the import model will be more variable - potentially the same on a good day, especially given the same fittings.

Good story - meanwhile I'll be probably spend well into the New Year critiquing the sound of the switches themselves 🤣

I’d be Digambara if it meant I could still own basses. ☑️Be naked ☑️Look after animals ☑️Cool logo
