I was hoping they would update the firmware to make the effect more subtle. I'm talking to Roland at the moment about something else so I may mention it and see if there's any likelihood of that being updated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 That waza air seems like the mutts nuts if you want something purely for bass practice through headphones. £330 is a lot, but you don't have to buy the headphones too! Naturally I've been watching eBay for bighead amps: there is still an ha-1 there for under £100, also an HA-2 but the seller pulled it a couple of times and put the buy now price up; it's £288 now, not good. You can get new for £275. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wanting one for ages, as with a 2yr old in the house, the amount of time I can play through an amp or even be in my Jamnasium (the room next door to his) is rather limited. I actually think it will make me play more, especially being an all-in-one tool. Was reluctant to splash out the full retail amount on a set but there is a good deal on with the local distributor at the moment and having just sold a couple of surplus-to-requirement Squiers, I can justify it to myself (and the missus) lol I went for the guitar one as I play a lot of guitar as well, and most of the time for bass I like a clean tone with compression so it works well. I do wish Boss would put the drum machine in both models though. That would be excellent. The hardware appears to be the same so it's only a firmware issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead56 Posted Wednesday at 19:55 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:55 Well, thanks to a Black Friday deal, I bit the bullet and ordered a Boss Waza Air Bass set. It arrived yesterday afternoon to the office, so needless to say I was looking forward to getting home and trying it out. I charged up the transmitter for a couple of hours, dug out the massive instructions sheet, downloaded the app and fetched my 60th Ann Road Word Jazz... First impressions: Waza Midi (via the app) App is great in terms of content, but the layout could be better. Took me a few mins to work out the FX banks but I got there lol. Drum machines/metronomes and tuner are all great. Sound was crystal clear, i liked the amp voicings too. Had a play with a few of these for a bit too. Then I went looking for how to connect an external bluetooth audio source for jamming along. I hadn't realised there is a separate bluetooth function outside of the app for this but once I figured that out (about 5 mins), it was a piece of Fosters. Cut to 5 mins later and I'm happily plonked on the sofa, jamming along to some disco-ey Electric Six goodness, with a big, warm, round Jazz tone belting out of an invisible stack behind me, grinning from ear to ear - all without disrupting the better half's Shortland Street viewing and the young master's sleep. One very happy chappy!!! Will definitely be using these DAILY! So hopefully will master all aspects of the app shortly. Now to buy the little case for them! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I'm on the lookout for a budget pedalboard friendly headphone amp that allows me to input a stereo signal. But all the ones I can find seem to be mono, or very expensive. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
