top 5 stopboxes

[davec]

If you had do an unknown audition and could only bring 5 pedals including a tuner what would they be?
(only one multi function pedal allowed)

[grumpy old man]
I'd bring the "we've done this thread dozens of times already" pedal.

[James Hart]

I just did this (well not an audition, but a reunion of a past band)...

I went with:

Maxon CP9 pro+
King of Tone
Thor
Ibanez AD9
Maxon FL9 (guitarist is phaser happy, so I left mine home and brought the flanger)

[SoonerMatt]

Seeing as I only have 5 pedals ATM I'd bring all of them

[bassteban]

I'd like two *stop*boxes; one hooked up to the drummer & one to the guitarist.

[Matt Dean]

My five:
Korg Pitch Black
Catalinbread SFT
Mad Professor Snow White Auto Wah
Xotic Bass BB preamp
EHX Nano Stone

[Valerus]

Out of the pedals that are currently sitting on my board:
Boss TU-2, Boss PS-3, Mojo Hand Cream Pie, Catalinbread SFT, Zvex Distortron

[MonsterBass101]

Ibanez WD-7, Planet Waves Tuner, MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, Boss OD-20, and MXR Phase 90

[Din Of Win]

Sparkledrive
Boss DD-3
Akai Headrush e-2
Boss CEB-3
EHX Bass Microsynth

Line6 M9, Xotic RC Booster, small volume Boost pedal for balancing levels between basses.

[kevteop]

OC-2
LS-2
Bass Micro Synth
Octavius Squeezer
Bassballs

But I'd miss my Meatwad.

Unknown audition? Probably zero pedals! Just a tuner, cable, amp and pencil/paper.

As much as I love effects & use them often- they're not necessarily the best way to "introduce yourself" as a bass player.

hey bongo how about doing something helpful like posting a link?.... nah I think being a smartass is a much better way to go

[nad]

Generally, I bring a fuzz and nothing more to auditions. Then again, to my last audition I brought fuzz/flanger/delay and she said "cool, most bass players don't even have any pedals" as a compliment.

In other words, it entirely depends on the situation. Probably a good idea to show up on time, everything else varies.

Agreed. I'd rather concentrate seeing how my playing sits with the other musicians than seeing how my effects fit their playing. Tuner is the only thing I'd bring.

I've bought somewhere around 50 effects pedals over the last 3 yrs. Agonized for weeks and months at a time, as to which I liked, what I still needed, what might be better, how to arrange them, etc. Finally, after all this turmoil, I cut it all down to the 11 pedals I can't live without, and somehow fit them all onto a PT-1, and you want me to get rid of more than half!!??!! No way bro, I show up for the audition with the full board, and if they don't like it, I don't want to play with them. In fact, my current band, with 2 guitarists, love the fact that my board is bigger than both of theirs combined. (one uses a multi, the other, a 6 pedal affair). Mostly, because of this very forum, pandora's box has been opened, and I've become an addict of sorts. I'm not complaining.

[crapusername]

depends on the style of music TBH.
probably pitchblack, BBM, ashdown lomenzo, and possibly either a chorus / flanger, and an MXR M80 just in case.
