Hi All
I’m torn between the wired Beyer DT770 and a Boss Katana Go or the Wireless Boss Waza system
I like the thought of wireless and the fact that you can also play music at the same time and hear the bass but not sure the Katana Go or anything that does the same as the Waza
Any thoughts or advice appreciated
Good to have you here, enjoy… 
The answer to your questions is already in the Katana Bass Amp Questions thread.
Go there and you’ll get so much reading and experienced advice your head will spin and you’ll lose days of practice.
Are you new? How long have you been playing?
These are questions you’ll be asked.
It’s very possible this thread gets moved into that one because of its similarities.
Yes only been playing bass a few weeks but have a bit of a head start as I play a little guitar and bluegrass banjo
Thanks for the thread advice
I have both and both have Bluetooth audio that you can play your audio track.
WAZA air bass is probably the best wireless system you can get but Katana Go is probably the best bang for the bucks. It has almost all of the features of the Air just a whole lot cheaper.
In my humble opinion = Do the bassbuzz course, and get 500 hours of play under your fingers asap.
If you get an amp with lots of settings and sounds don’t waste practice time playing with the settings, find 1 or 2 solid bass sounds for the type of music you play and focus on hammering out those first 500 hours.
What you need is fingers on the strings with some guidance like the Bassbuzz course.
500 hours asap and you’ll have some groove and the things that only come from playing around that amount of time.
As for amps, The Katana 110 is my choice but if you get to much playing with the settings you’ll as said loose practice time. Set and forget it…
The Katana 110 has a headphone jack.
Thanks for that but I’m sure I saw a review that said you can’t connect Bluetooth head phones to it… sorry if I’m missing something
Hi Jimmy
I am signed up to BassBuzz and have a Rumble 100 amp but there’s a lot of time that I’m away from home so need something good and quite
Thanks
What headphones with the Katana Go would be as good as the Waza?
That’s great thanks for that info and nice playing 
You use wired headphones - IEMs are great here and not terribly expensive - connected to the Katana Go. You stream audio to the Go via Bluetooth. It’s a fantastic set up and sounds great.
Can’t find one in the UK for sale
I came into this thread just to cool down after trying to learn Billie Jean for the first time… I’m interested in reading about these setups, but I’m determined not to start buying more equipment at this early stage.
I’m so glad I did! This advice about 500 hours of playing hits hard! And it just feels right. Thank you Jimmy for sharing that. I appreciate you!

DT770s are great, I have a pair in 32ohm. I also use MTHX 50s. As far as IEMs go, Moondrop Chu 2s are inexpensive and great.
Sorry just to clarify. No you can not connect Bluetooth headphones to a Katana go.
One of the reason why the Katana Air is pricy it uses a different protocol that’s ultra low latency. Your normal Bluetooth signal will not do. Wire headphones or IEMs only.
I was an educator for almost three decades teaching around 5000 classes.
I came into bass out of desire and love for bass with the idea of using the techniques about learning I had found through teaching over the decades to test my how to learn hypothesis on myself.
The number one first aspect of my understanding is, if the student doesn’t quickly get a grasp on the basics, and I mean quickly they have a bigger chance of letting it go and quitting.
500 hours, if you hammer these hours out in six or eight months you will have huge leaps in ability that are massively inspirational and you will most likely just want more.
I believe in the early months the most important aspect is fingers on the strings a lot, and the BassBuss course for directional guidance.
I have proven this method so many times with so many students and did it again with my own bass journey.
I smashed the Bassbuzz course out in 3 weeks and my first 500 hours out in around 6 months and wow, that’s when I finally was sure I was happening.
Bass can be difficult until one day its not…
The only battle is with yourself…
I’m on the same page as you as far as putting in the work. I’ve put in a lot of hours in the last 4 years.
However music isn’t some kind of race or even anything we can master. We are all to some degree learners.
I’ll bet that if you went back through the BassBuzz course for a second time there’ll be numerous nuanced things that slipped by first time round.
Ps… I’m using a Katana 110 and loving it…
That for me is 100% the opposite of how I see it for myself.
Straight up its a race and damn rights it can be mastered…
It’s a race for me to master the bass before I die…
No matter what your doing or how good you are at something always approach even that which you have done thousands of times before with beginners’ mind.
Everyone’s personal tsunami is coming, so get your kicks and do what you want to get done before you cant.
Ok, that’s an opinion. But you’ll never master the bass. You’ll potentially become very proficient. But mastery implies nothing left to learn.
But I think you’re wrong about it being a race. I’m currently a better bassist that you because you’ve just started, but there are hundreds of much better players on here than me. People who’ll always be better than me, because they’ve literally got decades of playing under their fingers.
Who wins? Nobody wins, because it’s not a race. I’ve set my own goals (join a band, play every day) and I’m having fun doing that.
