On the thomann website the price is 875 € for this amp. So there is enough budget left to get a good bassbox when your budget is 1600 $. Don' t forget all the options the amp offers. So other pedals are not really necessary.

@@zulu5157that’s for just the head, the matching cab is another $800

@@flyingrat492 you don't have to buy this cab. Other products match too🙃

@@zulu5157 well done on supporting my point I guess? You also don’t have to buy the head, and that’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m allowed to criticise them as a package because they’re intended to be sold and work together as one

​@zulu5157 The upside down smile really didn't work for you here. You managed to illustrate this dude's point gladly, and look smarmy about it.

Should have the demo for it up in ~2 weeks actually, stay tuned!

@@PatrickHunter Nice! 😀Thanks Patrick!

They are

@@Basslessonsmelbourne YES!!!

You can use BT with this, but for some reason Boss insists you buy an adapter. Just include it already.

These days the cost of them would be too close to make it worth buying a lower wattage one, and they have a volume control anyway. Class D amps don't really cost any different whether they are 200w or 1000w. Different price points are just marketing now. Nothing to do with unit cost.

Yep. A Katana in an Elf form factor and they can take my money

I’m sorry, but I disagree with you on this. Allow me to explain. Newer physical USB port designs doesn’t always outweigh older port designs, depending on its usage and scenarios. There are specific reasons for many audio companies to keep using type-B rather than newest port, I assume you refer to type-C, till today, and it’s not because they cut corners. Let’s think about what matters for any cable port for communication. Yes, the newer port designs usually support better protocols, higher data rates, and so on. However, the physical structure of the port itself still plays a huge role, when you have to install it on devices for specific usages. NO, devices such as bass ampheads don’t have to have a wastefully expensive and sophisticated thunderbolt port like a MacBook Pro, because it’s not a MacBook Pro which is meant to need such a high data rate. The type-B port supports way enough for a tone editing software. But YES, devices such as bass ampheads do want to have a type-B port over a type-C port, due to the fact that the physical structure of type-B is way more durable and reliable than that of type-C, under specific circumstances that only devices such as amp-heads will be: namely, live and studio situations. To be honest, when having a nice manufactured type-B port that’s super tight on my audio interface, I can literally grab the usb cable and lift my interface without having the type-B cable disconnect from the port. To the extremes: if whatever horrible happened to my gear, type-B port can ensure that the cable is still rigidly connected even the gear itself might be broken at most the time. For a type-C port, I don’t think it can handle stuff like that. Imagining that during a live session, a type-B port is hundreds times more reliable than a type-C. I guess you also concerned about the gradually lowered accessibility to the older ports and cables due to the existence of newer ones and thought about that will cause your inconveniences. But let me help you on this, because of reasons I just told, the older ports will never be completely replaced by the newer ones since there will always be stuff (like I said, audio gears, etc.) that prefers them. Analogy of tubes: tubes were out on 99% of electronic devices and were replaced by transistors, since tubes are outdated, big and fat, fragile, expensive to made, and much more power consuming, compared to solid states. But guess what? Tubes will be forever made because there will be devices that will forever prefer tubes over solid states, if you are familiar with our beloved tube amps. Similarly, don’t worry about keeping type-B port on audio devices in 2024 may cause you any trouble and inconvenience, because the old ports will be forever made just for those gears that still need them.

lol you mean the same USB port that the Quad Cortex, HX Stomp and Kemper's have?

It's a sterling by musicman ray34PB in the trans black satin finish.

He did add a mute which was missing from the combos. Boss needs aive version of Tone Studio that does patches and has a tuner.

Agreed!

Absolutely agree! Also….why are the bass combos so much more expensive than the guitar amps. Another point is weight, that 210 combo is a horrific weight for a 160 watt amp. The guitar amps are featherweight, I just don’t get how the bass player gets the shitty end of the stick?
