Some competition for the Boss Waza-Air-B...Positive Grid Spark NEO Wireless Guitar Headphone Amp

The price is right, not sure about how good it sounds with a bass.

Hard time finding a bass video.

Couldn't find any reviews of it on bass on Youtube but did watch a comparison video, this versus the Boss. Boss wins out slightly on sound quality and VR gimmick, Spark NEO on comfort, the app, and the fact it uses USB-C not Micro-USB to charge. I would also point out that as the Boss has a TRS dongle (I assume that's for charging), that probably means that certain active basses will have issues with it - the ones that don't follow the convention of battery negative to ring, ground to sleeve.

I have the Boss ones and they are ace. Not had a problem with my active basses - they are all EMG so I suppose other types might.

The charging on the dongle is via Micro USB as well.

 

I got the guitar ones rather than bass just because I play both instruments and the guitar version can do a good enough bass sound with a clean amp, compressor and some EQ.

 

It does annoy me though that Boss decided to do different versions when the only difference is the firmware. Now that there is some competition I hope they change that. The Boss bass version has a drum machine which would be nice to have. Amazing that Boss decided that guitarists don't want to play with a drummer... eijits.

 

I use them a lot though, I practice far more now that I have them. My apprehension at spending that much on a practice tool went in about 5 mins.
