The low- B rumble of a 5-string pumping through the overdrive and EQ, and the tight, muted-palm punch of a shortscale sent through the compressor, show how much range this diverse box has. The pedal comes with “Silent Clear,” feature which enables you to delete the entire loop without having to set it playing first – which I am certain could be a real problem for anyone trying to do this on stage! Let’s start with acoustic and unplugged; the Ultra J5 Essence has that very same type of wonderful resonance and voice that its fancier sibling had when I played that very first Anaconda Ultra J4E-Elite Bass. So the FBV Express MKII is generally compatible, but I assume its foot pedal will only control wah-wah and volume effects - is that right?

But in all those years, and through all those basses—only a handful have truly stood out as being something REALLY special. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. The only difference between these pcb's and the final boards is they are missing the text 'red stripe' next to the power connector. If you listen to some of the sessions I have put online, you will hear how good it sounds when things go well – and also what it sounds like when I mess up and don’t quite synchronize the loop!As a professional bassist of 40+ years (geez Louise—I said that out loud…), I have owned, played and even built my fair share of a wide variety of bass guitars from many manufacturers. the FBV EXPRESS can activate many on-board amp effects including Quick Loop, Pitch Glide and Smart Harmony. Its simplicity allows you to concentrate on the music you are making, rather than worry about settings, buttons and technology.

All the bass essentials are there—compressor, 3-band EQ and overdrive switchable on its own, or you can use the mute switch to kill the signal for silent tuning.The red LED will have turned off, and the green LED will have turned on – so you can easily see you its now on ‘Play’ You can hear it too!
