What is the differents between the bass and the normal ones?
Planning to buy the guitar ones since is cheaper over here in UK than the bass one.

The guitar chorus affects the entire frequency range, whereas the bass version can be set to affect only the higher frequencies. I have the bass version, and I think it sounds great. It's sort of a subtle effect, but adds a nice shimmery warble.

They sound different. Personally, I prefer the sound of the Chorus Ensemble (CE-5) to the CEB-3. I haven't tried the Super Chorus.

i use the super chorus and its great. it goes from subtle waves to crazy warbles, and if you tweak it right, you can even get a decent vibrato sound out of it

I'd like to know what that reason is...

I have never really understood why the CEB-3 doesn't get better reviews here. I'm not a fan of Boss effects in general, but think the CEB-3 sounds really nice. It's a subtle chorus, so if you are looking for a more "in your face" type warbly/wet chorus pedal...this ain't it...but if you like just a hint of subtle, shimmery chorus...this pedal does a nice job...

I tried the CE-5 and sold it after one gig...just not the sound I want from a chorus...at all.

I agree 100%. Unlike most chorus pedals, it's hard to get a bad sound out of the CEB-3. Plus you don't lose your low end, which is a Very Good Thing.
