That is the real question. Is this (and the 60B+) an actual upgrade to the B2/B6 or just a smaller form factor?

It's a fair question. I'm only guessing that the modules are exactly the same (with a few exceptions, e.g., no exp pedal FX, etc.). If the modules are the same as the B2/B6, then the other question is how the overall sound quality compares to the older MS series, or the B2/B6.
 
My two big wishes for the B2 Four would be:

1. Fix that awful Tremolo.
2. Add a 3 MODERN (!) solid-state bass amp models:
Some Eden with a 2X10" cab,
Hartke kickback with a 15" cab
some GK amp, not sure what cab

I kind of doubt Zoom will give the B2 Four much love in the update department. I truly hope I'm wrong.
Agree on the Hartke. I miss it on my B1X four. It's on my B1XON, though and my most used amp model.
 
My (only) bass amp is a Hartke KB15. I ordered it as a leap of faith; not having tried it, and only reading reviews.

Luckily, it is a fantastic sounding amp. The cooling fan is pretty much always on, but given the power, it's understandable. The "shape" knob is a -20dB notch sweepable from 100-900 Hz. I wish it was more like -10 or -12; but it does provide some interesting tones.
 
Looks like the MS-60B+ is in stock. Anyone picked one up? I use the MS-60B and love it.
I've never liked Zoom's cross-key switches. And having them in this small of a format has me worried.
I only ever find I can hit those buttons with my feet when I don't mean to.

So if anyone has the MS-60b+ let me know how those buttons work. Do they get in the way?

(And of course, we want to know how the effects sound!)

The Zoom site still says preorder.
