    mild saturation pedal recommendations

    Sansamp para driver v2. Very useful pedal for shaping your tone ( subtle or otherwise). And a full featured DI.

    Pedals and Tapewounds?

    No problem w tapes and pedals. My main working bass wore tapes for years and was used regularly w pedals. Comps, OD, fuzz, octave, delays etc all fine.

    What has been the most interesting pedal for you so far in 2023

    Was the hologram microcosm but lately has been the Fairfield shallow water. Honorable mention to the ever weird DOD rubberneck.

    Nice small synth for live performance

    . I love the grandmother its one if my fav moogs ( that spring reverb ❤️) but I rarely gig w it. On stage in a band I really prefer stable DCOs and patch memory. As far as “magic moog filter mojo” maybe in studio ok sure, but onstage w a band nah. whatever difference exists between...

    Nice small synth for live performance

    Hey Drummer (A Rant)

    LOL Hey bass player. You’re not Vic Wooten, stop trying to play every song like it’s an extended solo. Just hit the damn root on the damn one. Please stay below the 12th fret at all times, oh and nice quiver, I’m sure that $5k exotic wood 6 string fretless will be handy when muddling...
