I have this amp sitting next to my Fender Rumble 100. With my 14 month old often sleeping in the room above me, I practice on this amp most of the time.

I think im going to buy this bass in the package. Rumble 15 and black bass for $323. Its from a local shop online in texas. Should i buy from a bigger retailer that are near me. Im sure it will need to be set up and what not. Im new. 55. Never musical. Thoughts? Thanks

Bad ass.

Lovely, I really enjoyed this video. I have two bass guitars, and am now looking for a Squire bass. I love squires, I have several Squire guitars.

Amazing review.. I bought one recently. Do you know the speaker power? would it be ok to set the volume to maximum in a gig? So far i'm liking although I'm having issues hearing myself with a band sometimes

Unless I'm mistaken, the other indent is a breather that allows the driver cone travel its optimal distance. Some stereo speaker cabs have this vent that is attached to an adjustable cylindrical cardboard tube inside the box. The cardboard tube length can be shortened or lengthened, which in turn varies the depth of bass frequency. These vent types are often used for achieving ultimate bass response for small enclosed cabs, unlike open-back guitar amps.

I pulled out my rocketbass 50 today just to experiment with it. Normally I use my Peavey Max300 210. I figured out how to get a great tone from the Ampeg. In the past I would just use the eq for cutting starting at 12’oclock. Could never get a satisfying tone. Today I boosted the low to 3:00 mid 10:30 and treble 2:00. Omg!!! I am blown away at how great it sounds. Next I ran direct out into a Headrush powered 112 full range speaker and it is comparable to the Peavey in tone. Fun stuff

I bought the Indonesian version of this in about 2003. The pickups sounded a bit weedy, so I dropped a Basslines in the neck position and it's shocking how good it is. I used to have an Ibanez RB850 and before that a 1972 Fender Jazz, so I think I have some idea of what makes a nice bass. OK, the Jazz was awful (it was cursed somehow, sounded terrible, the neck would never stay the same shape and bits kept falling off it - a 70s Fender lemon). I sold it for the 850 and I loved that Ibanez Roadstar. It was then borrowed by a 'friend' (ex-friend) who did an American and European tour with it, but he was, let's say, unmanageable, and when gave it to someone else to return it to me (with added awful belt rash from his studded belt) I never saw it again. I was gutted. I was no longer playing bass live so I just wanted something cheap but reasonable as a stopgap for recording my own ideas, so I bought the Affinity PJ. I've never felt the need to replace it, it plays wonderfully, the neck is great and it looks great, black with a black headstock and mirrored pickguard. I'm too old and ugly to care that it has Squier rather than Fender on the 'stock. Now that I'm playing again, I doubt 99.9% of people know the difference and musicians who might be snobby about it can go swivel, not that I've met any. I'm thinking about getting a pro setup (I've always setup my own instruments, but I thought I might treat myself) and replacing the bridge, J pickup. This pickup doesn't sound terrible but compared to the Basslines it is a bit meh. The level is also so much lower than the P pickup and it does something funny when both are on full, my goto knob positions are full everything except the J pickup wound back a tiny bit so it doesn't kill the wonderful deep stuff coming from the Basslines. Maybe I screwed up the install or something, but I don't remember if I did it myself or not. Anyway, TLDR. I don't know how different they are 20 years later but generally, guitars and basses seem to be getting better by the decade. Once the pickup was changed, and that's a matter of taste, really, it's become the favourite bass I've ever owned. And because it was relatively cheap (under £200) I don't feel I need to be precious with it, unlike my Les Paul 1971 Deluxe guitar!

You are correct saying that the Duff McKagan bass sounds pretty good. I enjoy mine and get all the sounds I need out of it. It's great!!! One I like better and is my no1 go to, would be my Michael Anthony Schecter bass. That thing kicks!

I love the time travel stuff box

This was helpful. I’ve got one on the way and am hoping it is a good option. This will be my first compressor.

UK viewer here. No offence, but I think you're wrong about the Affinity bridge being made from cheaper materials. Logistically, it doesn't make sense to produce two different bridges - any saving in materials is outweighed by the added complication of having to machine another (otherwise identical) item then keep it separate it in inventory. I should mention here that I spent the last 15 years of my working life in internal logistics for a world leading manufacturer of industrial testing instruments, where the exact same principles apply. I think I can safely say I know what I'm talking about. Rather, it makes a lot of sense to use the same tried and tested Fender bridge that's used on so many other models - the fact that they can manufacture in bulk is a significant cost saving in its own right. Savings have been made on things such as the lack of shielding, cheaper pots and wiring, less substantial tuners, smaller strap buttons, and thinner pick guard. All of these things can be upgraded by the user should they wish to. I also reckon they've chosen finishes for the Affinity that are less troublesome to apply and cause fewer QC issues, as well as using body blanks that wouldn't pass for making the more expensive guitars from.

If there are terminals for a 9v battery, why wouldn’t it work?

Great video, thanks! Would you say it gets close to the SVT growl sound? Is it a good alternative if you're on a lower budget?

The fret wrap serves a whole different purpose as the mutes. It is used to avoid ringing of the strings behind the fretting finger, for example when doing tapping.

I’ve an old RAK Delay from 1990 - even cheaper plastic than Behringer. Still in perfect working condition to this day. The whole plastic thing is just snobbery.

Hi Tim did you use a 9volt fueltank for all the pedals? Because I got about the same setup as you and got a hummy sound. I had to take of the earth (ground) to get rid of it. Now I use 3 transformers and it works. What is you experience.😂

How about the latency

the pedalboard at 00:49 so beautiful.

Thank you for the review. I just recently bought this system and when I did a comparison with my usual cable, I found that the wireless system had a little gray noise when playing. Being silent otherwise. Also, some low end was lost compared to playing with my usual cable. Gear: Fender 5 string P, Mark bass minimark and a boss cable/joyo wireless guitar system.

Fantastic review. Everything answered. Probably not for me as going for small / light ect but want a bit more power.

Would have been nice to hear the E string used. MM

You talked a lot but never showed how it sounded like.

I got the bass one in a trade. It was only good at VERY quiet practice, as it distorted alot. It was more toy like than amp like.

thanks bro, i like how you deliver your thoughts. have a great one

Great job explaining the logic behind your settings!

I loved you video, great job!

Without knowing how it works or seeing spec sheets the secondary oval thing might be an attempt at a passive radiator to help increase the bass output? The size of the “driver” makes me think it may not be that though since generally a passive radiator has to be larger than the primary driver but maybe it does a decent amount at its size?

How is the grip of the Honva vs the OtterBox? Is the Honva rubbery like the OtterBox, or more slippery?

I have this amp and love it for practicing at home, but for band practise I plug it into an SWR workingman's 1x15 cab and it keeps up with the drums guitars etc I did plug it into an 8 ohm 4x10 once and it is pure heaven with those 10' inch speakers and the internal speaker running together.

I've never had non ported speaker. Opinions on difference?

Could you run a daisy chain from one of the sockets

Hell yeah barely finding out about using an EQ to mix before going onto an amp, now I’m forsure going to run this to my markbass ! Thanks & nice vid

The dirt on this is slept on and a great one too. Sold me when I owned a v4.

I've had this amp for over a year now. Its okay for low volume practices with acoustic instruments, but definitely not for anything else. I've also been using it exactly as suggested in the clip - via a DI splitter as a monitor and it worked just fine. Again, as long as the surrounding volume isn't too loud. So, its recommended for low volume practices and as a monitor for low volume gigs. But definitely not with a non-acoustic instrument that plays a bit loud. The amp sounds very nice with a passive bass. However, it overloads very quickly when I try to hook up an active bass to it.

Great review! I've had this pedal for months and this video has shown me how to actually use it effectively! Thanks!!

A very detail-focused and knowledgeable review. I like these vids that are all about the instrument not the reviewer. I feel like I know this bass well enough to buy it now

How do I even open the case to get the phone in? I have a steak knife out and I am perplexed!!!! No instructions came with mine…. Help!!!! (I liked for a video in your account but couldn’t find one). I’ve had OtterBoxes before but this one is stumping me!

Great review, thanks!

Excellent detailed description and demonstration,

🤘 outstanding

Thanks for the great review. I'm getting the P instead of the PJ but this information is absolutely helpful nevertheless. Cheers! I think these Affinity bass guitars will definitely get the job done without issue as is.

I have been looking around for a wireless system. I had a shure wireless but sold it years ago. Maybe this would be a good option for rehearsals or small gigs. Thanks!

You should get the v2312s or the new v3412s 5:47

Excellent Video!Liked and Subscribed.

Is there a foot switch for the dirt? It’s always a pain when you need to bend down to switch. I use an HM-2 and an OC-3 which has another dirt mode which is pretty cool

FuCkEn DrUmMeRs there ruin everything

I wonder if your amp is broken? It almost sounds like its going through an octaver lol

I have this one also and it sounds very good thanks for sharing👍🏿
