  • My pick of the year (and one I bought) is the Zoom MS-60B+ – Awesome sounds in a sturdy, compact case, and easy to use and pretty cheap. But it doesn't seem to be very recognized, it got far less coverage than the imho much inferior Line6 Pod Express Bass.

    Another one is the Sire Z series. I really want to try them but couldn't find any nearby until now. Seems like the Z3 hits the sweet-spot, at least the first run of the Z7 had quality issues. But I love the Z7's concept of adding a touch of Jazz Bass to a StingRay inspired design, instead of adding an MM humbucker to a Jazz Bass like Sandberg, Clover, or Harley Benton.

    And Fender finally has a H/S Jazz Bass as well now. One which finally brings them to the present, kind of: The Blu DeTiger Jazz Bass is their first signature bass for a female player ever!

  • Welcome back. It has been too long. For me my Orange Crush 50 practice amp is my favorite piece of gear. Sounds great and has a built in tuner.

  • Julia is so good on bass and very ????????????????????????
    My best purchase of the year is exactly the Sterling Stingray CA24 on your right! Terrific bass!????????????

  • Great to see you again Julia & thanks for the cool review. I liked the first pedal most. The bass guitar could be nick-named the 'The Exorcist' due to its pea-green soup colour… ????

  • Awesome, I thought she's no longer here, since it was about half a year since last time she was on a video.

  • I was thinking only yesterday that I hadn't seen a Julia vid for a while! Always like to see new gear, but I'm so happy with my Greco P bass and Rumble 200 that I don't really "need" anything new, having said that, the compressor wouldn't go amiss. As an aside, a thumbs up to Thomann for their handling of a mixer I bought on behalf of my band that turned out to be unsuitable – no quibble return, simple process and refund.

  • Julia, I've been enjoying your videos that have been appearing in my feed. Graham Maby – bass player for The Joe Jackson band had some fun/interesting basslines on Joe Jackson songs – I’m The Man, Stepping Out, Kinda Kute, and Beat Crazy. Agree/Disagree?

  • I have a Cali76 but I replaced it on my board with the Empress. Has more features and just works better. My compressor for recording is now a Source Audio Atlas which does a great LA2A and the Cali is in the drawer.

  • Nothing as new stuff this year. Only used gear for real vintage sound. In France with president Macron we no more have money because ruined by the cost of life (electricity, food..).

  • Why does everyone make a face like they're struggling with the bass,what's so hard about that riff that you have to make a shittface?

  • Not new from this year, but my fuzz find: MXR Variac fuzz, it’s incredibly versatile with the voltage control. No blend, but I find fuzz with a blend can make it sound like I’m playing two basses slightly de-synchronized (and not in a good way like a chorus).

  • Yeah – the colour is really "tasty", but surely Julia can play that killer groove on any bass!

  • Julia has such a hypnotizing bass face while she’s playing. I mean I just get so foc…. Wait, how dafuq are her legs crossed like that!?!
