    Getting used to a 5

    Stick with the five string for a while. Try playing only 4 lowest strings. Like just your normal stuff just transposed to using the lowest four strings. That’s what helped me a ton

    Boss Katana Bass ...

    I almost always play through headphones but sometimes it’s nice to play with a friend but this amp is very loud even at “1 watt” After getting the Bluetooth adapter, I’ve found I don’t have a use for it. Wish I could have figured that out before buying the darn thing but oh well. Like you, I’m...

    It really does sound like a faulty amp cause mine doesn’t have that issue at all. Very very very easy to get clean sound and I can even put gain up a bit and it’s still clean

    4 or 5 string basses?

    I’ve used several music Man, fender, Ibanez, I don’t remember all I’ve tried but certainly not every single one. So your bass don’t have an extra tubby b string that resonates even slightly different than the rest? Even hearing others play one I can hear the difference

    4 or 5 string basses?

    Hey there everyone. I have played bass for 30 years and like half of them have been with a 5 string and now I’m kinda at a crossroad with the issue. I have become infatuated with Multi-scale 5 strings because I’ve never been truly satisfied with any 5 string bass I’ve owned or played until a...

    Boss Katana Bass ...

    It’s still loud enough that I can’t turn it up even to half way in our house without rattling windows. It’s a downshift for real, but it’s surprisingly loud for 1 watt. Those speakers are nice and apparently pretty efficient. On another note: I will say it does not seem to handle chords very...

    they both have an attenuator that brings it down to 1 watt for bedroom playing that still sounds good

    The 110 has been compared in volume to a rumble 100 if that helps at all

    I have the 110 and it’s surprising loud. And surprisingly heavy. I have not personally used it with a drummer and guitarist, but I have no doubt it could handle practice settings under most instances

    Boss Katana Bass ...

    Yeah I got the bt adapter and couldn’t use it before an update to the amp’s firmware. Updating it feels like a process from the 90s or something. After the update I was able to connect easily and I’m enjoying all the extra editing I can do with it, but I’m the amp sounds so good without any...

    U2 Bass

    To be honest, I never realized there was bass hate for the dude. There are times he meanders and confuses me with his choices, like “streets have no name” but overall he writes some catchy basslines that help the song move forward. The guitar is so ethereal and rhythmic that there needs to be a...

    Boss Katana Bass ...

    I ordered the amp on Thursday and it was waiting for me at home when I got off work Friday. I’m liking it a lot. I played using the 1 watt setting and turned down low, but switched to headphones when my spouse went to bed. It’s a lot of fun and I really like the modern amp emulation with my five...

    need a 5-string. Inexpensive, not cheap

    Yeah it’s been my only bass for years after getting rid of my MM Bongo 5er. The Schecter Raiden Special 5 also has string through body option and is a 35 incher. It’s quite versatile and doesn’t feel or sound cheap at all. I do wish I could switch to a mode with a bucker and jazz together. A...
