danbowskill Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I always wondered why they never introduced one the same time as the guitar version ? Here it is .......shame its coloured by the vt500 head https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FHiKIpcUqfc Quote

If there's a Sansamp in it, why didn't they do as they themselves recommend and plugged it into the FX return instead... Quote
danbowskill Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 The lack of mid's is probably why they didn't DI it :-D A VT instead of the bass driver might have sold it for me. Handy as a throw in your bag Direct out with no amp thing,but I'm not feeling the Oct/filter side of this. Quote

danbowskill Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I didn't see that( just looked on their site) a mid knob as well,that sounds better :-) .....I loved the vt bass, but thought the bass driver was rubbish,especially in a band mix Edited January 22, 2016 by danbowskill Quote
Musicman20 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 The Bass Driver can have mids if you don't whack up the bass and treble (eg back them off)....and/or use the amp if using it as an 'effect'...or if straight into the PA, just bump the mids. Personally I love low mids but the BDDI is still a classic. Quote
clauster Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I wonder what the price is going to be? Quote

[/quote] pretty sure the blend on the amp is fully CCW so there should be no colouring from the amp Quote
danbowskill Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 If that's the case then cool.....its a bit misleadingly seeing it plugged in that amp. Quote
NoirBass Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) The more I think about it the more I think i like it. Seeing the character knob looks promising. XLR out and built in tuner were sadly overlooked in the guitar Flyrig, but gladly present here. This could be the answer to my live giving situation - all in one box!

sk8 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I'm very interested. Its got all I want in one package. They have thought about this better than the Guitar FlyRig IMO Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Looks to be fairly well thought out. I like the idea of the moveable boost. Not so keen on the filter though Quote
1976fenderhead Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I might be interested in this if the Fuzz could stand on its own as a quality fuzz... Doubt that will be the case with the lack of controls for it. Also, the octaver is after the Sansamp and maybe the fuzz in the signal path, which is not ideal... Quote
visog Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 So it doesn't appear to have the blend knob to retain and mix your clean signal? Quote

[/quote] Same as the VT Bass then... By the way, saw another review of this where they said it has less gain than the VT Bass because you can make up for it with the Boost feature. Quote
tonyclaret Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Liking this, wish they'd gone the full multi route though, looper, delay. Quote
Mog Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Supposedly out in April/May for $280 - $290. Seems decent to me. Quote
NoirBass Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Available to preorder - nearly £400 though, Ouch! http://www.gak.co.uk/en/tech-21-sansamp-bass-fly-rig-5-mini-multi-effects/129692?gclid=COu_9N_s58oCFYMewwodDAYLhw Quote
Lee-Man Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Ouch! Thats just put me right off. It does do some more stuff over the guitar ones granted. But then, £380 ain't cheap. Quote
clauster Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I would've had it if it had been under£300, but that's too steep for me. Quote
