That amp is a beauty but it's not a bass amp, it's for accoustic guitars unfortunately

I think this pedal has not been announced yet, it's interesting:

Yes, it's for guitar but I talked to them about it being something you can use in the living room at TV level or along with music and it's fine. Something that is small enough and and nice enough looking to be allowed to stay in the living room. They can also use the same wood on their bass amps but of course you lose the low weight carbon.

I don't believe the pedal has been officially announced but they have them sitting out, are happy to discuss it, and have a picture of themselves and Leland holding it on their Instagram

Yes, I can imagine my wife prefering this to my current rig in the living-room, that I only use with the master volume at 1.

They can also use the same wood on their bass amps but of course you lose the low weight carbon.

I'm surprised that the wood cabs of GR Bass are not more popular, because even if they are obviously not as light as CF, they are still lighter than most other brands, in the same ballpark as Barefaced (much lighter than Mesa Subway "ultra light" cabs for example). And they are much more affordable than CF cabs, and probably more robust.

Interesting pedal, I'll be waiting for demos with interest.

Thanks for your report and photos

That active 51 P is rad!

And man Warriors are such cool looking basses. It’s a pity about all the inlays and imagery on them. Def Not for me.

These are fantastic, probably my pick for favorite new to me basses i've played at the show. when I talked to them today at the booth none had been sold and all were still available.

The prototype 30" short scale was fantastic, but the single cut really stood out.

You've got the basses coverd,all I can add is the flying mule

Did you happen to see SQOE's booth? I saw in a video that they had a bass that looks Atelier Z/JINO-esque and was curious if anyone got a chance to see it up close!

new to me bass specific pedal company. i loved the Fuzz Enforcer. sounded huge and kept all the bass in the signal. i'll be getting one

i just swung by but didn't see that specific model. all seemed what you'd expect at the price point, they're selling basses at the booth for $250

ah okay, thank you! It looked nice in the video, but it was such a quick shot, it was hard to tell! I hadn't heard of the brand prior to today, so i wasn't sure what the quality and feel was like on them

Hope there are some Bass VI lovers
