Not sure if this is off topic, but I feel I might as well put it here. If it needs to go somewhere else, I trust the mods enough to know where that is (cuz I sure as hell don't  )
Anyway, black Friday is tomorrow, so I'll be getting up bright-eyed and bushy tailed at about 4:00 in the morning to go down to my local Sam Ash and Guitar Center in the hopes of finding good deals on bass gear. I'm really looking to snap up a few key pedals.
Boss SYB-5 
Boss AW-3 
Boss PH-3 
Not the craziest wishlist in the world, I know. It's just stuff I like for all the fun noises I can pull out of it. If they had a cheap octave-up pedal I'd grab one of them too...
Anyway, post your Black Friday wishlists!

I'll admit, when I first plugged one in a while back, I did not like the sound. It sounded like the amp was farting. After a good 3 minutes of tweaking, however, I ended up dialing in some really cool, usable tones...
Kinda sounded like robots doing the nasty, in a word, AWESOME.
To each his own, though.

Speaking of octavers, any good octave-up pedals for bass? There are times when I need that higher octave or two just to show the guitar who's boss, ya know what I mean ?

It's the best octave up there is for that money, and the best tracking (as in glitch free!) octaver (octave down) there is. All the way down to my low A (hipshot on my low B string) seemlessly. Octave up OR down.
....or, for octave up with a kick, find a used, discontinued Akai Uni-Bass. It's killer for what you want it for.

| | | | Sam Ash has 10% off a lot of items including Fender & Squire,
And for $50 off a purchase of $225, code 50THANKS.
For an office/backup bass, I’m getting ready to order a $240 Squier Jazz V for around $162 shipped…
all I gotta do is figure out which color I want. |

| You won't be dissappointed! That's my main bass and it's a joy to play.
Back on-topic, I need a new amp. Christmas comes but once a year
God bless.

They said the Fender exclusion only applys to the high end stuff. You will not get the deal on a USA Jazz but they will let you get the MIM and Squier stuff. |
