    $100 some kind of bass.

    Lined or unlined fretless, it's all the same. You're gonna want to intonate this thing. Otherwise, finding and remembering the correct positions will be much more difficult. I have little razor-cut lines along with the dot markers on the upper edge. This makes finding the positions on an...

    Longscale Stratobass

    Can you drop a link to that thread? I'm in the process of building a strat bass and I'd love to compare notes.

    Zoom B3 compressors

    I'm just the opposite. The 160Comp reminded me how much I loved my old DBX163x, so I wound up getting another one.

    Converting headed to headless: feasibility? Pitfalls?

    I'm glad that I'm not the only one thinking bout doing this. The thing would be super tiny and small enough to stick in a back pack for trips and commuting. I was just looking for information about string spacing to see if it would be feasible. Hardware is pretty cheap, too. If I did this, I'd...

    Zoom B3 noob questions

    The Edit&Share software will let you load the factory presets back into the B3. It also allows you to back up "versions" of set-ups, so if you screw something up you can reload it from a previous save. The B3 uses "auto save," so it's constantly updating itself. This makes it pretty easy to...

    Hey Singlemalt, I use a Rolls personal monitor box for line in/headphone practice. Bonus is it doubles as a wired IEM. :)

    Zoom b3 patch Ideas

    Okay Crystalman, you continue to pound out the awesome patches so I'm turning to you for some help. The song is Moving In Stereo by The Cars. I've tried using the Octave but it wasn't sounding right so I switched to the Pitch SHFT (12, 2, 12, -16, 75) along with Z Tron (-1, 3, 100, 75) and a...

    I've been wanting to crack the case and make a patch select footswitch. It seems like a pretty obvious upgrade.

    Small IEM Limiter?

    You may be surprised at how low the volume is on my IEM setup. I use it mostly to fill in the , missing frequencies that the earphones block out. It's somewhere around 1/4 vol or less. I've use the wired Rolls without protection and have had a couple of feedback instances that worried me, but...

    Small IEM Limiter?

    I have both a Rolls PM351 and a Shure PSM200. The sound quality on the Rolls is far superior to the Shure, even though it does not have a limiter. One option that I have experimemted with, but not extensively, is to route the output of the Rolls into the Shure receiver. The Shure units have...

    I was just going to post this info. :) On the clip, it sounded like a flanger, fuzz and eq.

    Not that you asked me, but I can chime in with a pretty decent set up option that I have been using... If you are running direct to the PA and/or FOH, you can get some pretty good mileage with an in-ear system. I'm running the B3 into either a Rolls PM351 or a Shure PSM200, then DI through to...
