Looks like a Nutrik jack. Will be interested to see how you like it.

Cool bass.

I absolutely love Kiesel basses. Those two are particularly effing sweet.

You know I think I love every single design of theirs I have seen, and I just wish their CEO wasnā€™t such an asshat. Did he ever apologize and do the right thing for that customer service scandal a while back? Might have redeemed himself, I donā€™t know.

With a Mazeltov and Happy Kwanzaa and glorious Fourth thrown in for good measure.

I have similar features on my Travelers TB4.

Yep, I had seen that those little travel basses had a headphone amp. Makes sense.

Iā€™m just happy Mayones has included this proprietary badass preamp in my custom build. Sometimes waiting forever for something actually pays off. :smiley:

Yeah I wanted to have one on my custom bass too. Even thought about routing them myself. But how to properly connect to the bass electronics is another story. :joy:

Exactly.

This one is designed from the ground up and is completely integrated with the preamp. Plus, it apparently has an internal power supply and 9v power backup, so I guess it must use a dedicated third battery for the headphone amp.

Iā€™m pretty sure I wonā€™t have a Neutrik jack on mine.

The bass in the photo is a NAMM Show flashy bass, so itā€™s got all the bells and whistles, including the custom wooden knobs that match the top wood finish.

This is why I was curious to find out if my build would have the new preamp.

Ahh cool! Good to know, that was not a good look for them.

Their basses look awesome.

I kinda feel like this is almost an obsolete thing at this point, esp if you have a Waza air.
Wireless is the way. I feel like if they want super premium, they should work on a BT xmitter option (hey wait, thatā€™s a great business opportunity for someone smarter than me).

The waza doesnā€™t use Bluetooth for the instrument sound does it? Iā€™m under the impression the latency problem with Bluetooth is pretty unsolvable, but I havenā€™t actually dug into that at all.

Iā€™ve experienced no discernible latency with my Waza Air-Bass. Its tech is legit impressive.
