You can have lengthy discussions on all the types of 303 clones , remakes and emulations out there, and why you like some more than others. I guess this is the same forthe bassbot.
I like the sound of the bassbot, and it has a lot of added functionality compared to the original.
The new look is a bit odd at first, but the bigger knobs are actually better, and using the soft step keys, compared to the old style 'clickety clackety' knobs, is also an improvement, The fancy black edition looks better as well, and the product packaging and additional black transport pouch are really nice.
It is a light ,affordable 303 that works both in a gig set up and at home in the studio.
