EBS Session 30 Mk3 Bass Combo: Expert Analysis and Review

The Session 30 Mk3 is the latest Bass Combo from EBS. Our resident expert, Dan Veall, takes us on a tour and gives his thoughts about this small but mighty beast.
"While the Session 30 Mk3 may be brilliant for home practice sessions or for busy pros needing to warm up backstage, its versatility shines through the onboard Direct Out via the standard XLR socket. With this nifty feature, you can effortlessly route your sound to a front-of-house PA system or recording device. Don't be fooled by its compact size - the sound coming from the DI is anything but diminutive. It's a quick and clean solution, even for those running IEMs on stage!"

As Henrik Linder has demonstrated, it sounds best miced up with every type of mic under the sun simultaneously.

I hesitate to say this because I always enjoy this channel's content, however, I just can't let it go. I believe the sync is off between the recorded bass guitar and the backing drum track. I would fix the sync and re-upload this.

Thank you for reaching out and letting us know that you are experiencing this issue. We have looked into it, and we have been unable to replicate this issue. Could this be an issue with your browser or playback device? Have you tried watching the video on a different device? Again, we really appreciate the feedback, and we want things to be proper. We just don't seem to be able to replicate this sync being off.

Thank you for replying. The "chucking" example in particular sounded off to me, especially at 6:14. However, I think Dan perhaps just had too much coffee. Good save with that cymbal crash at the end Dan! 😹☕ Carry on! I think I will end up purchasing this little guy. It sounds fabulous.
