Good question. But not one that is a burning issue for me; I'm good with using both 😂

Except that the signal arriving at a particular pedal attached to an expression pedal may well have been modulated by previous pedals, so it will have an indirect effect on everything preceding. But maybe I am simplifying things too much as you say.

Quantum tunnelling required, I suspect. Probably via a black hole.

I'm outta new threads for today. What had you got in mind? Something on quantum tunnelling? 😄

Hah! You're over thinking this: I'm a simple guy who uses his Stomp as a pretty, if slightly bulky, tuner. Let me put the Q another way: will the expression pedal on the B1/4 have the same impact on the signal from preceding pedals that a standalone expression pedal at the end of the chain does?

How you liking the monosynth?

+1^^ Exactly. Anyone fancy counting up the number of Fender basses currently in the FS? Then add the ones on Gumtree, eBay and being sold used by stores for good measure! 😎

Thanks Dave. Just ordered the B1X Four from the same distributor. (Can now put off becoming expert on my Helix Stomp for another 6 months - 😂)

OMG! This is excellent!! Thanks for posting.

Bit of a sidetrack, I know, but don't tell me you're an Ibby fan as well as a Yammy fan?! If so I think I've just found a bass twin! Lol! If that SR900 had been a 5er (which the seller mentions he also has), I'd have been very tempted to snap it up myself at just £300. And at that price swapping out the Barts for some Nord big singles and maybe even putting a John East Pre would have have made for a cool little project and I suspect an awesome lightweight bass ( @M@23 just a thought! )

Congrats indeed! What amp and bass will you be pairing it with? Come on - let's see a pic of the new rig and your bass in all its glory! 😎

You do realise you're going to have to change your avatar from something classy and polished to something a bit icky and reeking of war criminals soon? 😄

If we put a B1 Four with an expression pedal at the end of the signal chain, am I correct in assuming that the expression pedal will modulate all the preceding effects before the B1 Four and not just the B1 Four's own effects? If so, that's going to add another fun dimension in getting the X version, and for the additional £15 or so it's a lot cheaper than getting a standalone expression pedal.

What are you going to be playing through? Unless I was going straight into a PA, I'm kinda struggling to see the need for an amp and cab sim, given that I'm pretty happy with how my amps and cabs sound.

Haha! You only find that working the day after a new bass sucks?! What about every other day? 😂😁🤣

In terms of all round capability combined with value for money the Zoom B3N is very hard to beat. The new Zoom B1 Four may, however, be a really good alternative, given it has the same chipset as the B3N.

Although not Dave's reason, the B3 also has a DI out which the B3N annoyingly doesn't. (But otherwise it would seem that the B3N is the better unit).

Haha! - He'll get over it as soon as he discovers how great it sounds! I had one of my guitarists 'begging' me to please use my Ibby (as it happens instead of my old Berg which had been my goto bass - and obviously looks like a Fender given that Holger unashamedly stole Fender's design), and often had random compliments about my Ibby from strangers (particularly musos) on what a good looking bass it was. So you may be pleasantly surprised!

Weights and balance The P35 actually 'hangs' a little more comfortably off my frame than my other three Yammys. So when I put them all on the scales I was a little surprised to find: P35 and NE2 - 10.2 lbs 735A and 1025 - 9.6 lbs The combination of a slightly heavier body and lightweight tuners on the P35 gives it more of a balance between neck and body and, in consequence, there is a touch less neck dive on the P35. Still getting used to having individual volume controls on the P35 - it's actually a really nice feature, but the flip side is that it's a bit less easy to switch pups than by using the selector switch on the 1025 or dialling a pup selector knob mid song, as you have to deal with two knobs rather than just one. Fortunately not something I'm needing to do too often. @M@23 - my Ibby SR1825 weighs in at 8.3 lbs, and is therefore nearly 2lbs lighter than your old P35 so if you want a lightweight bass, like a touch of the Warwick growl from the pups, appreciate a 3 band EQ and find a fast neck a delight then I'd definitely recommend you also checking out the Ibby SR Premium range; you'll have plenty of change left over from your Berg into the bargain!

But the wiring and shielding may differ. Plastic vs metal casing etc. So that could well result in the noise issue on the B1on that Ped mentions that we don't seem to be getting with the MS-60B.

Thanks Ped. That's definitely worth knowing and would be a deal breaker for me. I'd prefer to pay a little more for better quality. No point having a bass and rig that you're really happy with and then your sound mucked up by a £40 pedal.

Ah, that's a new bit of information. The B1on is noisy in what sense? Fyi no noise issues for me at all with the B3N with an isolated supply.
