How could I get my bass to sound like bagpipes?

Sign in to disble this ad
Any ideas? I have:
  • Pog2
  • SYB-5
  • Boss Super Shifter - 5
  • Line 6 FM4
  • Line 6 MM4
  • Boss PH-3
  • Echo Park Delay
  • Big Muff Pi
  • Dunlop Bass Wah

At My disposal.

Anyway I can do it with these or with any additional pedals?
I'm also looking for a leady basssynth sound as well. Thanks!

Would the White Stipes 'Icky Thump' synth sound come close enough for you? If so, I'd put my money on the POG2, perhaps with some fuzz.

need a nasaly sound and likely shifted way up and some sort of infinite hold on a drone note.

im not sure if you could get a delay to hold a swell forever without self oscillating.

Just rub a wee bit ó haggis on the fretboard and the wee lassie should be droning like a highland coo. By Jings, och th' noo.

Some good ideas in here but I'm struggling to understand why anyone would want to sound like bagpipes

Boss CS-3 or Pigtronix Attack Sustain
into
POG2... he, it's got "detune" so you have that covered, +1 and +2 octaves
into
Boss FZ-5 Fuzz M-setting,... finally this pedal has a use
into
tremolo pedal, set for a slow sinewave tremolo quarter to half depth


don't know if it's going to work, but sounds crazy enough

Bass guitar is a musical instrument. Bagpipes are a form of torture invented by the Scottish to use on the British.

If you want to duplicate the effect of bagpipes then you are better off bludgeoning someone with your bass or strapping them to a chair to watch this:

WRONG! They invented them to fight against the English... the Welsh and Irish just watched from a distance and lol'd about it.
