Winter NAMM 2017 (ultra Pic-heavy)

[dje31]

So, to the person---whom I can't find among 34 pages---about the new Zoom B3N, and how you'll stick with the original. What did they change? How is it different / worse than the original?

 

[pbass6811]

Wow! What a great thread! Much love to @wintremute for all the leg work! It is, indeed, much appreciated.

I'm still not happy. Thanks to all your efforts, I'm now going to HAFTA make room for a Hammersmith K and, most likely, some Kiesel Vaders...they just keep drawing me in! Dammit man, that money is supposed to be going towards a new ZL1...

Well played, sir!

No xlr, and the screens are smaller (harder to read at my feet).

Those Vaders are pretty cool.

Those Vaders are pretty cool.

I'll tell you, I'm not a fan of the look of headless basses and guitars, but a friend of mine got a Kiesel Allan Holdsworth guitar with the headless neck, and it really is a thing of beauty to play and it's super light. Don't think I could bring myself to buy a Vader, but respect for Carvin/Kiesel.

It isn't me, but I'll answer this one:
- No more XLR out for DI
- Looks like only one page of parameters per effect now (4 knobs), BUT there are 7 effects slots per patch now, so that part is good.
- My own humble opinion but I hate that the effect on/off stomps are way back so you have to step over the front edge pedals (patch up/dn, etc) to get to them

 

[dje31]

Thanks for your input, jammadave. I found the thread in the effects section, but I'm only on page 6 of 19 at present!

If someone would cover air fare, lodging and food, I'd do her job

I'm lost on this. Did you quote the picture you meant to quote?

Nevermind! I see her now.

 

[phillybass101]

I know nothing.

Actually, from what I could gather many or even most of the basses in at least the boutique builders' booths had already been sold before the show even started. The booth I was in featured one bass and one amp that are just proof of concept things that are not really for sale though, and I'm sure there were many more examples of that to be found throughout the show.

I cracked up when I saw your pic because my Friend (fellow bass player) and his wife are in the background. I had to text him a message that he and his wife were in the background of your Pic. What a small world it is. And it was not a photobomb LOL!!!!

Anyone see any jazz avris?
