TheDisparities Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hi there im an indie bassist that plays kinda stuf like the libertines and arctic monkeys and want to add a bit of extra punch to my bass' sound. Are there any that are reasonably priced and reliable? Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Chris[/quote] Many, amny of them. Throw up some examples of sound you are after. Sansamp VT or BDDI is most obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher1993 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 A few to look at: Catalinbread SFT Barber LTD (My personal favourite) MXR M80 Ashdown Hyperdrive Boss ODB-3 (I didn't get on with it but you might) Xotice BB Bass Preamp The Sansamp VT Bass is an obvious one and is very popular.

lemmywinks Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 This would do the trick: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=87901&hl=owen"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=87901&hl=owen[/url] Very nice pedals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDisparities Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Have anyone heard the live at the grand auditorium album when Rage against the machine played in LA? I'm looking for the bassists tone there, something that will give a nice punch but won't stop the tone coming through too. N.B. I know Rage aren't indie, but its just an example Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Heh, everyone wants Timmy C's tone, and no-one's going to get it. I think he used a marshall guvnor but also used a lot of amp distortion. He blends clean in too on a seperate amp. So you want a dirt pedal with a clean blend.... err that wasn't much help. I haven't tried the current Guvnor, maybe that would be appropriate.

orangepeelneil Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 [size=3] For what it's worth.... my advice would be the FULLTONE BASSDRIVE. I've got the non MOSFET version and am really enjoying it ( paid £90 on FleaBay). I've spent five years trying to find a good, but subtle bass overdrive and the FULLTONE ticks all the boxes, I play a trio and just need some mid bass drive when the singer guitarist is soloing to fill out the sound. I'd really recommend trying one,pretty veratile OD- they're not too cheap new ~£150- but they often come up on basschat and Fleabay.
