So I was messing around with a delay pedal and a chorus pedal and got this really intense sound. Like when I hit my low E (tuned to C) it sounds like something for a horror/suspense movie and/or game.
Maybe this is in the wrong place, but I'd like to see what others have stumbled upon from experimenting. YouTube - Messing around with bass effects, figured out some cool sound

I don't have any clips of it yet, but I stumbled on a cool sound when I cranked my all the dials on my RV-5. Then using a guitar slide or cig lighter tapping the G string over the pickups or really close to the bridge. Also, sliding down starting from the bridge. Really interesting. To beat all, I actually found a way to use it live. Unusable as a tone for normal lines, but very cool if you can find a use for it.

I'm really not big on having a bunch of effects on at once, I know it usually isn't really logical for music other than messing around when you're bored, but I really thought it was unique to get sounds you'd hear in a movie on a bass lol.
Sorry about putting it in the wrong part of the forum, I didn't see any videos of peoples recordings there so I thought recordings made more sense.

Enjoy. Or run away screaming. Either way. |

Not a hugely useable tone as it gets a bit blurry when played with other intruments but on its own it sounds like the war cry of a deranged killer robot. |
