Carl Martin Bass chorus and usage of guitar chorus pedals with bass

http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=272978

is a forum about different choruses that people out there like.

the main issue with chorus pedals that aren't made especially for bass is that they tend to eat up all the low end, making your bass sound thin and bodiless. anything that's a designated 'bass chorus' addresses this issue (among others), so it becomes a matter of personal preference (ie, you've got to try a few out, or hear them, so you can decide which of the many flavors of chorus is good for you).

read that forum, and you'll get a good idea about what's out there!

oh yeah, and welcome to talkbass! the people here ROCK, for real.

here's a motto: "Talkbass: We Care. And Rock."

ya!

oh, and i haven't tried the carl martin yet, but carl martin makes some killer stuff. i'm sure it won't let you down!

I've seen a couple floating around here. It probably works fine.

i have tried one...it is a very good sounding chorus, goes down very deep, but it doesn´t have that typical "chorus delay sound" if you know what i mean (the crunchy attack click, where you can hear the delays in the bbd, heck, it´s hard to describe, do you get me ?).
it´s got it´s own transformer inside and works with bipolar (+15V/-15V) rails to the opamps, that makes it very pristine and suitable for the high transients of bass playing, i think that´s one of the reasons it goes down so low and clear.
it´s a little expensive, though.
being able to have two settings sounds cool initially, but in reality, i don´t need more than one setting for a chorus pedal (rather a footswitch for full range/bass thru like the difference between ce-2 and ce-2b - on my next ce-2 clone, i´ll make that one a footswitch).
if you change between the two speed settings on the c.m., it speeds up (or slows down) gradually, like a leslie.
what threw me off a little bit was the big footprint, you can´t just "throw it in your gigbag with some other pedals", way to big.

at the moment, ce-2b is the way to go for me , but the cm is definitely up there with the best.
