Shadow Introduces Stompin'Bass Percussive Instrument
July 21, 2008

A unique and compact design, a very robust and road worthy with a high quality Shadow pickup system the Stompin'Bass will not only upgrade the sound of solo artists but of any band without a percussive instrument. Made out of chosen rosewood which is often used for high class bass guitars the Stompin'Bass works as a fantastic bass or bass drum accompaniment to your acoustic band.

The Stompin'Bass is both versatile and easy to use. The slanted top gives a player comfort and easy use with the foot. You can either play it by using your toes or your heel. The underside of the Stompin'Bass is covered with a special anti-slip material.

Shadow has added a removable extension so that your foot is in a more comfortable position for playing long periods. The extension is attached via industrial Velcro so it can be removed easily if it is not desired for playing.

Because of the NanoMAG pickup and the active electronics inside the Stompin'Bass supplies, unlike other similar percussive products, a full, deep and warm bass sound. As it is a humbucker, it is free of 50/60Hz hum. A completely shielded case and low impedance output protect it from outside magnetic disturbances and makes it totally hum-free. The electronic circuitry is powered by a single 9V battery with extremely low power consumption. The Stompin'Bass has a standard output jack which can be plugged straight into any PA or EQ, pedal, guitar amplifier you like, to produce the tone and volume which best suits your style.

Depending on your equipment and its EQ setup, the material of your shoes and how hard you stomp you will get different sounds.

MSRP: €150.00

Heh, then again maybe not.

it seems cool but 240 is a lot of money--it seems you could make the same thing for about 6 bucks

so it's an electronic kick drum?

It's just a hunk of wood with a piezo element inside. Glue a mousepad to the bottom for non-slip. Cost: $20 maybe? But then again, the same is true of most effect pedals...

...which this isn't, by the way, so probably should go in Miscellaneous.

I think it's a great idea. Get a Cajon, high hat, ride, and one of these , 2 mics, a handsonic, little mixer, Kaoss Pad, and BAM - awesome drum kit that fits in a tidy flightcase with a couple of microphones. Add an access virus, loopstation, and a bass player and you can tour in a station wagon with room for passengers.

Get a PA and it's a minivan...and you can THROW the parties.

There is a guy called Niles Hokkanen, who is a mandolin player. He has a really elaborate drum kit that he can play entirely with one foot (he uses his left foot to play bass pedal keys). I forget what all is in there, but I know it has at least snare, kick, hihat, crash, and a cowbell I think. It's very clever. Below is a picture.

And then there's this guy...
