This will give you a chuckle. I supported a Kickstarter campaign for some inexpensive piece of kitchen gear back in October of 2016, originally expected to ship in January 2017. I'm still waiting. They haven't even sent an update since June of last year. :roflmao::laugh::smug:

I'm not sure what constitutes a "light bass," but I don't think I've ever owned one. :D

I suspect that reducing the size or mass would have a negative impact on the strength of the vibration, but I have no expertise in this area, so what do I know?

Do what you want, pardner. I have two almost-identical basses where one is fretted and the other is fretless. I have flats on the fretted and flat tapewound on the fretless. They give me the respective tones I want out of them. You do you, brother.

I have long held a love affair with Carvin amplifiers. I only borrowed amps for many years, but when I finally bought one, it was a Carvin Pro Bass II 400 watt amp in 1988, paired with (I think) a Pro Bass 215 cabinet. I have no idea how I managed to afford the ~$1000 price tag at the time, but...

I once saw a Latin jazz band where the bassist had picked up a right-handed bass, flipped it to the right 90° and played away. I suppose that's how he learned to play bass.

It depends on the version of BackBeat you're using. If it's the current model, I would run my entire monitor through the BB since it passes a stereo signal. The older model only passes a monaural signal instead of stereo, so it would be too big a downgrade to lose the stereo capability.

I always thought there was Zero difference between the performance of various pedals. The difference comes from build quality, material quality, etc. In other words, if I bought a pedal, I'd use it until it breaks. Or until I feel some random desire to get a new one for no articulable reason. :D

I try to get the same type of feeling I would get from standing in front of my cab, so I usually have it set in the general vicinity of 50%, maybe a bit less.

Yup, I've gotten the feedback through the strap. The only way to eliminate it is to break the vibration path from the BB to the guitar (physics is physics). While there are multiple potential solutions to this, the only practical one that comes to mind, short of turning down the vibration...

Look in the Effects List for the B3n. For each effect, the right hand column is either blank, has an eighth note symbol or a P. Only those effects with a P can be manipulated by an expression pedal.

Sure, but that won't give you a stereo monitor. That was my original point.

The problem isn't the cables. The problem is that the jack is monaural, regardless of whatever cables you use.

Which gives you a stereo monitor, if your wireless is capable of that. The 1/4" is only mono.

I have the original model, which weighs 15.60 oz, according to my rusty...erm, my trusty kitchen scale.
