MGR/Mark S « Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus »
Published on 08/17/04 at 15:00Purchased 5000 Yen ($65Aud) used from Ishibashi music Akihabara Tokyo Japan
Purchased to replace a Boss Bass Chorus CE-2B misplaced when moving
produces a smooth chorus sound tailored for bass.
usable, almost essential, sound
simple rugged and reliable.
When used with a compressor it produces that dreamy sound so loved by later New Wave bands like Duran Duran, Japan ABC use it with a fretless bass and you will find yourself writing songs to go fitt the sound think Pino Paladino on Paul Young's version of "Were Ever I lay My Hat" and this will get his sound down perfect.
Sound wise not quite as good as my old CE-2B but better than the chorus in my ME 50B bass multi effects unit.
I'm not happy with the newer rounded off knobs they use. the older CE-B has only 3 larger knobs set out in a triangle arangment that alow you to tweak on the fly vey easly. The small 4 knobs in a row (they have added a "Low Filter" knob that I just set and forget) are fiddly at best.
like most Boss pedals almost bullet proof
along with a good compression/sustainer pedal the CEB-3 (or the older brother the CE-2B) is THE essential bass pedal for players of softer rock and jazz.
buy it NOW! (Unless you can find a CE-2B then hock your second favourite bass to buy that instead)
Sound wise it's 5 out of 5 but I'll rate it at 4 because I think the small fiddly knobs are a step backwards.
