I really don't have a set budget, but I like "bang for the buck" stuff. If an Ampeg SVT cab is really the best of the best and fits me perfectly, I guess I'd try and find a used one for a good bargain, or at least get the closest sounding one there is. Surely though I wouldn't spend a ton of...

Hey! Not long ago I started playing bass, I got some okay gigging gear, but unfortunately I had to sell my Warwick 410 Pro bass cab. I didn't like it really much sound-wise anyway, I thought it was too thin sounding and I always lowered the tweeters. Now I'm in the search of a new bass cab, but...

It's really hard finding a used darkglass here in Europe... what's left for a good deal. I guess I'll just have to give it some time. I was talking with a buddy the other day. What he told me is that the Microtubes X is better if you're not playing a tube amp, since it simulates a tube amp a...

Many topics stated they didn't like the distortion / don't use it.

That's what I want! :) Franz started using stingrays recently, he was using only P basses before. He even had a Fender commercial. Still killed it with a P bass, but it's true that his sound is different now that he switched to stingrays.

I'm using a Focusrite 2i4, doesn't have anything, I can do whatever I'd like with my sound on the PC, but no can do live.

I'm good with the P bass for now, I'll probably never even consider an expensive guitar, for me it's all about being comfortable with the instrument. Not to mention I'm a lefty, so that's a big bummer. Even my favorite guitar that I own is a '94 Japanese Jackson Dinky, and honestly I don't think...

I found this video: I like the sound of both B3k and Microtubes X, I probably watched a crappy video of the B3k at first, so I'll just look for a bargain :)

The Dunwich isn't my thing, too fuzzy for my taste. I'm really stoked about DG pedals, they all sound awesome! Weird that I didn't find much info on those while googling beforehand.

Amazing! Pure hardcore punk as we know it. Your sound is killer, but I'm leaning towards more modern-ish sound if you know what I mean.

Thank you all! I'm really leaning towards a Darkglass, with X currently being on top of the list sound-wise. I'll be hunting for used pedals and see what I can find. I had a little thought about playing live, I guess I'm a noob with this situation. What I do when recording is, I record a bass...

You're probably right about the DI, I don't plan on playing directly through the pedal live. I was thinking more about it's usefulness when recording, but I probably won't need that as well, since I will mostly be recording at home through my audio interface. The DOD Boneshaker sounds muddy and...

The B3K seems to me a little fuzzy. I really dug the Darkglass X and Tech21 Dug though. The Tech21 one sounded fatter to me, but there are other factors except the pedal of course, out of the two I liked the Tech21 the best. Sadly, both of those pedals are really costly, even used. A lot over...

I will definitely give them a check now, and I will be shopping used most likely, which I also forgot to mention! I don't mind people recommending their favorite ones. I'm a newbie to the bass community, so I'm not that experienced with the available pedals and which do what. My main priority is...

Hey there! I've recently switched from guitar to bass. Due to my band struggling with bassists, I decided to elevate myself and join the right side. Jokes aside, I'm looking for a decent bass distortion, and I have no clue where to start. I know this question has been asked hundreds of times...
