Lozz196 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Definitely. I`d rather check and find it was in tune, than the other way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GremlinAndy Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 [quote name='bassickman' timestamp='1338301732' post='1672364'] Do us Bassists really need pedals? [/quote] Need. No Enjoy. Yes, quite possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GremlinAndy Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 [quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1338392338' post='1673832'] I've not used a clip on tuner so I don't know about it's multitude of practical shortcomings, but I would imagine it makes your bass look less cool [/quote] I wouldn't be seen dead with a clip on tuner. I'd rather be out of tune by a full tone (whatever the heck a tone is!) for a full gig than have one of those ass ugly things sticking out of my base.

Kiwi Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I ended up getting pedals for patches that sucked up all the processing power in my MPXG2 or stuff my MPXG2 couldn't do. eg. unibass, synthbass and two inputs (EBS Microbass). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Must be honest, I'm surprised that of the 40,000 bassists on here, 39,999 aren't aware of tuners that are neither pedals, rackmounts, nor clip-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pendingrequests Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I've never seen the need for them, obviously about from a tuner and maybe a EQ pedal. I use my EQ sparingly when I plug into house gear to get as close to my sound as possible. The day I get endorsed and start touring the world, I may buy another pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I've never had a massive need for loads of bass effects. I just like a bit of overdrive and maybe some compression if required but that is only usually on recordings. One of my friends recently spent several hundred pounds on effects for that "dubstep" sound, and he is [i]still [/i]using his crappy clip-on tuner! I don't know eh?

matejj53 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Having effect does not mean you necessary use it all the time. It allows you to play more dynamic having better sound creates effect of whole band. That is why you use effect. It is like changing strings some people do like it some do not until they broke..... So there is no right no wrong question and judgin is wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
