Hello Almighty fountain of knowledge that is the Effects Forum,
One question...
What do we think are the must-have pedals for any bass player?

There is way too much diversity out there to classify and pigeonhole an 'average bass player' and the essential pedals he/she should have. |

We get these threads quite often. If ANY effect was essential, every bass player would get an effect with their first bass and amp, and the term "tone purist" would carry a very different meaning. Discover what kind of music you are playing first, at the very least, before you delve into the question of what effects will be "necessary."
