Reasonably self explanatory. Thanks to the good people here, on Talkbass and Reddit, I've put together a nice little manifesto for my demonstration channel, but now I want to know if there are any particular effect types/specific pedals you feel are underserved when you're looking for gear?
-
Also pm'd in case the first one falls through! -
Sheesh. Gear lust hit me hard. First lockdown: 2009 American Standard Precision Bass (With custom shop 60s pup) 2000s Musicman Stingray Last lockdown: 4 string Pedulla Rapture (My dream bass) Boss BF2 Flanger Boss DS2 Turbo Distortion DOD Envelope Filter Sovtek Bassballs ZVex Sonar Tremolo Fulltone OCD Ok, MAYBE I have a problem

Can you link a video of theirs for me to check out please? -
Back as a teenage player I was one of those snooty dickheads looking down on people who used a pick - now if I'm looking for that certain sound, it takes me twice as long to get it nailed with one!

The last time a recent song's bass part caught your attention

Bruno Mars seems to understand the role the bass can play! -
I'm the guy who asked this last time, and people overwhelmingly answered they get the gist of it and do their own thing. Context is king. You can play something note for note, and if there's some Mandela effect to it, people will think you played something wrong when it was faithful to the original recording anyway. If it's a cover for an originals band, amalgamating the rhythm and bass together along with appropriate effects to fill things out sonically, could give you some ideas for your own songs and open you up as a player. Rage against the machine make great use of the bass player filling in the mid range when the guitarist decides to play solos. I do think more often than not when people say they don't learn things note-for-note it's due to laziness, but if the result sounds good in it's own way, does that even matter?

No love? -

Gutted I missed both the LS2 and the Brassmaster! -
Yeah, I was sorely tempted to try it, but it's just too damn big.

Hi all, Debating getting rid of this beauty as I really havn't taken to 5 strings the way I'd hoped and they've got NOTORIOUSLY fast necks, so someone should be making use of it - Especially since Michael Pedulla retired and isn't making them anymore. Made famous by Chris Wolstenholme from Muse. In immaculate condition + original hard case + case candy/owners manual/tools. Debating trades + cash one way or the other for 4 string Stingray, Modulus, or Vintage Fender Jazz. Based in Staffordshire, could meet partway if needsbe. BODY: Plain soft maple NECK: Bolt-on SCALE LENGTH: 34inches FINGERBOARD: 5A Birdseye maple NUMBER OF FRETS: 22 INLAY: 5mm abalone NUT: Bone TRUSS ROD: Single, double acting adjustable with two stiffening bars HARDWARE COLOUR: Chrome BRIDGE: Machine brass barrel, 17mm string spacing MACHINE HEADS: Pedulla/Gotoh STRAP PINS: Loxx chrome PICKUPS: Made for MV Pedulla by Bartolini, JJ ELECTRONICS: Active Bass and Treble 2 band Bartolini EQ + Pickup blend FINISH: Vintage Cherry Sunburst

In case anyone comes across this thread later, I've found Bright Onion are UK based and seem to make affordable, passive FX sends.

I'm REALLY jealous

This is certainly something I'd be interested in doing in the future. My only concern is with any kit like the above, the more I learn about what I'd need to include to include to cover the bases I want, the more it will eventually cost and it could just be cheaper buying one that already exists.
-
Hi all! I've only just realised HOW valuable the LS2 is for what I'm aiming to do with my pedalboard (Blending clean signal in with effected), so I'm looking in the usual places to find one relatively cheap. Pardon the pun but I'm out of the loop with this kind of pedal.. What alternatives to it exist, or is this the best at it's price point? Aside from phase inversion, are there any other features that other pedals have? Thanks!
-
I've asked this question here, Talkbass and reddit, and you're the first guys to mention it. THAT has surprised me.
-
But without a live guitarist, drummer and vocalist, is it still a true test? I do like the idea of a full-volume live test, though. Might have to wait until post lockdown. In the interest of comparing wet/dry sounds I'm thinking of starting at unity, and only upping the output at all if it has any difference on sound. This might only come in to play with stacking pedals, but certainly food for thought, thanks!
-
These are two BIG things I want to include. Comparing two kinds of pedal with the same rig (and trying active and passive), and comparing them with that. Maybe there are bigger differences between two versions of the same pedal on an active bass, than passive. That's important to know. As far as the settings, it grinds my gears to dust when they're playing around and I have no idea what the settings are..
-
Hi all, reposting here as the effects thread seems quiet.. What would you say is the Mount Rushmore of envelope filters on bass? Any modern contenders? Thanks!
-
It sounds like practical, usable sounds in different positions is the most important thing. Anything missing re: combinations of pedals/gear wise?
-
Aha, interesting. Care to elaborate?
-
Would you consider that more variation in the pedals themselves, or just more practical sounds?
-
Hi all, What are the pedal YouTube channels you keep coming back to, and why? Thanks! Chris
-
Hi all! Thinking of making a video comparing/combining envelope filters. What would you say are the top 4 of all time (Not just personal preference), associated with the bass? Thanks in advance, Chris
