    B1 Four

    Got this from Amazon Friday and have playing around with it over the week-end. Nothing but good things to say, it is perfect for what I do, need, and want. Much easier to use than the B1 on as far as programming patches and effects parameters. A quality, well priced piece. Fun to play with...

    Loop effect

    Sorry, I did read it, for some reason, the opposite of what you said. It does make sense.

    Loop effect

    So this technique, or option, is pretty much used on an effect if it sounds better bypassing the preamp stage? If there are some effects, as you said, distortion, in play before the pre stage, that one does not want altering another effect? So you could have six pedals and run say 2 that bypass...

    Loop effect

    Trying to understand how they work, why, purpose, etc. From what I understand, effects are routed to bypass the pre stage. If wrong, please set me straight. If this is correct, what is the reason for doing this? Is this procedure more used for some effects over others? Thanks.

    B1on vs B4

    Thanks for reply. I have been leaning toward getting it and your comments have hit on some good points, further pushing me in that direction. Even to only play in living room, would be nice to have an improved unit that is easier to use. On a side note, doing a search for multis shows many that...

    B1on vs B4

    Thanks. I looked at the MS. is this as old or a little older than the b1on? I have seen reviews from 2013. B1four reviews seem to agree that is overall easier to use than the ON and better. For somebody like me, is it really a $100.00 upgrade?

    B1on vs B4

    I got the B1on in 17, I think a few years after it came out. I play as a hobby and enjoy messing around with it. Creating patches, however impractical some may be, is fun to do by itself. I guess my ? is for those who have had both. Comparing them, they look so similar, with not much change...

    Rumble 25 vs LT25

    I am a hobby player. I have the regular 25 and a B1on. Have been reading a bit on the LT25. My ? is this, is it worth the 100$ more for the dsp modeling and effects? Is the LT just the regular 25 with the effects feature added on? If so, it seems kind of steep to me. My Zoom was 40, barely...

    Neck treatment

    Have 2019 sterling sub ray. Maple neck, not sure of fret board. Told either maple or some other similar wood. Begins with T I believe. Sunburst body. Neck is so bright. I want to stain it a darker color. Any issues with this? Should neck be sanded down? or leave it alone. Love the bass but the...

    upgrade question

    Will make it to the point. I am looking at the MM S.U.B and the squier basses. I know that there are some sound and configuration differences but I like both basses. More interested in build quality and overall bang for the buck. hoping some more experienced players can pick up on things that...
