@@CiciVonStrangelove Hi !!! Do you think it has enough volume for just stage volume in a live situation ? Like at least as loud as a stage monitor ? Just so I can hear the notes basically. I'd probably use both stage monitor and this Amp, so I'd imagine I'd be able to hear something...lol I don't have a way to try one, so I'll probably have to order it. Thanks for the video !!! :-)
@@laptoples Hey! I’d say you’d probably struggle for hear it, or at the very least to hear it clearly, in a room with a drum kit and full size amps. I’ve not tried it but might be interesting to experiment with in a rehearsal room? :)
This is such a lovely antidote to all the "listen to me I know stuff" reviews of things. You and Dave are like the popular voice of the You Tube guitar community. You do things so naturally and although you have loads of knowledge you never talk down to anybody. Your personality shines as brightly as your playing Cici. Thank you. PS that riff at 7:20 made me make a Mick Jagger face!
What a lovely comment Paul, thank you so much for the kind words :) It means a lot to hear things like that. I’m really glad you enjoyed the music too!! Thanks for watching/listening :)
Another great video Cici. Great playing. When you started the drum machine part it reminded me of " The Tragically Hip - Grace, Too" beat. Think you would love it, great bass lines 😀 Cheers from Canada
Guessed you might like it, I was blown away by my Blackstar BEAM, the sound of bass through it was amazing! I really like the way you seem to get carried away and lost in the music you make; it’s lovely to watch and hear!
Ahh brilliant, I’ll have to try one of those if/when I can! Hopefully will come across one in a shop sometime soon :) Thank you so much for the kind words, I’m really glad you enjoy it! :) I definitely get carried away haha!!
Oh 😳 WOW!!! That's a killer little amp! Boss is the best as far as I'm concerned. I have a new Ibanez GIO Bass. So I'm looking for a practice amp to go along with it. I may buy one just because they gave you one. Looking forward to your full demo of it. Rock on my Lady!
nice little amp, I have used the Roland cubes, I still use the Cube Street. Nice to see and here the new BOSS versions. Thanks for sharing, can't wait for the full demo!
Cici, what a great overview. As an other bass lass I find your videos amazing! Gear4Music had a nearly new unit that is winging its way to me, your vid was a great help in me make this choice ... sadly need to sell something to feed this GAS ... Basschat look out lol S'manth xx
Ya .. I just saw one of your other videos for the first time (left a comment and subscribed). After hearing you play distorted I definitely think I we need to do something in the future when I transition to 6 string bass. Probably in the next month to month in a half.
I always plugged into a bass cube when I was having lessons with Becky Baldwin down in Bristol and for a little amp it always sounded great. Might have to check one of these out too!
I just came home from church McKinley memorial Presbyterian church thinking of my music 🎼🎶🎸 archcilla says you are doing very beautiful good God bless 🙏 you keep up the good work
WuZ up Cici! At first glance I was like WTF but you started listing all the fear and I gotta have one!!!I love the BT feature! I need something just like that for at home! Thanks for this I would love to see you use Bluetooth on it with your phone and play a song through it if you can’t do that I know copyright may be an issue
Great overview, Cici, many thanks! I'm desperate to try one of these as I'm hoping the stereo speakers will mean that backing tracks I'll play along to will sound as good as they do when played through a dedicated Bluetooth speaker or hifi. On all my other dedicated bass amps, plugging my phone into the AUX input always makes the songs sound horrible (possibly due to the single speaker, ie not stereo sound?). Could you please comment on this? 🙏🙏
I'd say it'd work for busking if you were backing up an acoustic guitarist...I have the old gray colored Roland Bass Cube 30 watt and have had it for decades.....it's great. I'm a guitarist so it suits my bass needs for studio recording fine ..it takes pedals nicely and is built like a tank. Glad you got a little practice amp Cici....it'll be very useful on journeys in the van I'd think or hotel rooms when gigging out of town.
Thank you so much John! :) I don’t have the guitar equivalents, but Dave does and I’ve played bass through them. It sounds awesome!! I haven’t played bass through a guitar rig live, but I would love to, especially a Marshall Plexi as it feels awesome to do that!
Cool. Thx! Really enjoy your out and about vids with Dave. My early 20s daughter was in Oxford in July for a cousins wedding. Landed on the hottest day on record. Lol. Have a great weekend!
Cici - did you ever try this outdoors? Keen to hear if it worked well or if the boss street is better choice. Need a battery amp for 1000lights in august.
The I only thing I kind of don't understand, why the guitar version does have the "heavy octave" effect and the bass version does not... I would change the reverb for octave very happily :))) Awesome playing, btw. You are really an inspiration!
I agree. When playing in a loud band, a lot effects lose their nuances with the exception of octave & distortion. One octave down & 2 octaves up (1st & 2nd) would've been brilliant. 😁👍
@@TenFalconsMusic I suppose the counter argument to that is it’s unlikely you’re going to be playing in a loud band with a 10 watt amp. But hey I rarely play without reverb so I am biased! :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove I was thinking, maybe the small sized speakers also wouldn't handle the very low frequencies produced by an octaver very well. Anyway, I agree that this is probably not meant as a tool for playing in a big loud band :) I think, it could be very fun to use to jam somewhere outdoors with friends or at a campfire (which is very fun with a bass actually!). But no Sledgehammer then :)
@@CiciVonStrangelove Hello Cici, may I have a question? Actually, based also on your review, I decided to get this thing. And I love it, I mainly use it with my acoustic bass outside with friends and it is lot of fun. With the acoustic bass and in a campfire situation, I never really turn this thing way up in volume, it is not necessary and then, the bass will start feedbacking anyway. But with regular bass, I noticed that when I turn the volume lets say more than a third up, the speakers start to distort the sound quite unpleasantly. Do you have the same problem? Is it a feature of such a small amp or is mine faulty? Thanks for help.
Boss shoved all those goodies into a little box and left out an on board tuner? Weird loo But awesome demo. Im definitely getting this amp Thanks for playing cool base lines and not juat slapping the hell out of it lol
@@PLT123 Haha I may be misremembering but I’m pretty sure it has a tuner if you hold down one of the buttons, which then works using the three lights on the looper section of the amp. This is what they had on the original Roland bass cube, I have a feeling it’s on this as well but don’t quote me 🤣 Thanks so much!
Love your demos and explanations. Just an unsolicited suggestion from my hair stylist GF but she says the red-dyed hair is not a good look for someone with an attractive face and smile like yourself and I have to agree. She says go for braids. Anyway, love to see someone taking up the cause of the bass. Until I started to play acoustic with a bass player friend I had no idea how important it is in the mix. Your fans from Canada.
Hey Cici , Dave has a scammer on his recent finger tapping video that I feel for. Grrr Tell everyone don’t fall for guitar contest on your and especially Dave TH-cam pages. 😡😡😡
Hey, sorry to hear about that. They’re all over TH-cam on loads of channels at the moment, Dave has put up several posts about it warning people. I think people just need to be aware that, unless the channel mentions they’re running a competition, and unless you entered it, the channel probably isn’t running a competition and people can’t win something they didn’t enter. Also that the names of the people/bots making posts don’t have the same name as the channels they claim to be.
It's incredible how good this small thing sounds. The amp is pretty good too
Hahaha brilliant 😂 Thank you very much :)

I bought one of these based on your recommendation. No regrets at all. It's such a great practice amp!
You have a way of making a bass sing. The one here sings beautifully ❤
Queen Cici is on a tear! That jam with the drum machine is incredible. Bravo!
Thank you so much Chris!! I’m really glad you liked it :)
was literally researching this thing last night, good time for a demo! thanks

Really good demo, some very nice sounds and your wonderful playing. I have just one criticism, I want one now!
Thank you so much Bob!! Glad you enjoyed it :) Hahaha that’s the best kind of criticism to have!

Sounds cool Cici, Good work my friend ✌👍
Great bass demo of current technology. Please co-write a big and heavy bass intro with the DS Trio. I think it would be epic !
Great demo Cici, that was awesome 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much Adam!! I’m glad you liked it 😁

Nice😁👍
Looking forward to the full review.
Thank you so much! :)
Fantastic review. Sounds great!
Awesome video, thank you for the review!
Everyone needs another Boss Bass Amplifier 👍😎
I agree!! :)
Just gigged mine last night! My rig was my Mustang>Cube>PA. I used the Cube ad a de facto preamp. The Bluetooth adaptor would be a godsend!
Awesome!!
BASS... Great vid thanks.
Great Video! 👍🏻
Tool vibe going on there.
Haha I thought that as it was coming out! Definite Pneuma inspirations there!
Cici Chancellor😁👍
I'd love to hear this-Amp vs. a similar Phil Jones in terms of Sound Quality. Nice job with the Demo ( as always ). oNe LovE from NYC

Can’t fine your demo on this little guy😮
I always plugged into a bass cube when I was having lessons with Becky Baldwin down in Bristol and for a little amp it always sounded great. Might have to check one of these out too!
I've been watching several videos on this amp, trying to hear what it sounds like through the speakers. Everyone is going direct with it.

Sweet amp!
Great video! Any opinion on how that amp would fare volume-wise with two unplugged acoustic guitars and a cajon on rhythm?
It’s surprisingly loud, I’d hazard a guess it would compete fairly easily :)
AHH I was looking for the Roland cube, but I have been finding one hard to find. Maybe this could be the answer. Would love to see a back to back
How would you compare it to your old Roland micro bass amp?
Ace ❤
Thank you so much :) 💜

Will watch with interest. Gonna rewatch your katana one too. Have the guitar equivalents. Do you ever play bass thru a guitar amp? John in Vancouver

Was there ever a follow up busking video? Or did you test it in a live setting?
Cici - did you ever try this outdoors? Keen to hear if it worked well or if the boss street is better choice. Need a battery amp for 1000lights in august.
I did indeed! Sounds great and holds up really well :)
Hello Cici, thank you for your review. Are you still happy whit this amp? it is really useful as practice amp? have a nice day.
There's a lot packed in such a small box. Can you connect a hose to it and do the vacuuming too?

Would love to see all the rythms plus variations in a video 👀
I’ll be going through them in the demo :)
Lighter than the original is crazy. How are they doing that? 😁
It’s amazing right!!
Great sounds! Please put a guitar through this amp just curious!🙂🎸
I will! :)
Hi, please, can you send me tabs from “jam with drums” section? Beautiful melody and vibe! But I noob on ear-pickup this(
Cici :D
Hello! :)
What a beautiful p bass
Cici is so Cute!
Haha! Thank you Gerald :)

I haven't seen any bass player using this amplifier doing Slap yet.
Drums were definitely up front making bass harder to hear...?
Still...ALWAYS a treat to hear you play😉

'Ello there. 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Hey Rick!
Alcázar buen volumen aún que tenga 10 w no queda corto se olle bien
it's good for play outdoor?Anybody tried it? thanxx

I just dont get why it’s basically the same price as a full size Katana….seems like cash grab tbh.
