I’m stumped at the thought this thread, or similar on Talkbass, could be considered trolling. It’s talking about effects. Given that a main motivator to getting effects is to obtain a certain sound we’re chasing, I keep thinking that, after basses, amps, effects, etc there should be a section on how to get a certain sound. Chances are you might be able to get it with something you already have. That would certainly keep me on the site a lot longer than just checking out stuff for sale that I don’t need.
