Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

What I loved about the X-Files was that between the two FBI agents, Sculley did all the asskicking. I mean, when the situation called for someone to get shot, she was the one who put the rounds downrange, while Mulder was taking yet another beatdown. The other thing I loved about the X-Files was Sculley.

Huge fan of the entire series.
Hated the finale. Last 10 episodes made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
 
Here is my current drum setup: Nord Drum sequenced by EHX Clockworks, going through MF-101 -> MF-102 -> Behringer VF-400 delay. Still need to find a way to incorporate the Crash Pad, and probably swap the VF-400 for the Rose.

I love Nord Drum. Bought one in the beginning of this year, but got cold feet because of my expected income during you-know-what, so I quickly sold it again. But I will get another one, eventually, because it sounds SO good!
 
Curious if anyone here has used a sub n up mini? Kept my bass whammy but it’s so big always run it off the board and I’m thinking cos I only really ever use dry and octave up to just put a mini on there...
Never tried the sub n up. Seems to get good feedback among many users. Very small and seems to be what you're looking for.

There are ALOT of options available for oct up out there. Ehx pitchfork, ehx pog, t rex quint, new boss oc5, eventide pitch (this one is huge though)......

Personally I use a micro Pog for octave up.
Added plus is the wet/dry 2 outputs.
If I'm not mistaken the micro and nano pog have different circuits. I have no clue what it changes in regards to tone and performance.

My 2 cents.

Edit: the whole tone print thing with tc is a turn off for me. But I'm an @$$ and grumpy.
From what I remember, I liked the POG sound over the TC by a lot. But id have to go listen to demos to confirm that I’m not misremembering.

When my Miezo mini bass comes, that's what I'm going to buy. Polyphonic, tracks real well, and sounds less synthy than the POG, from every review I've read.

The octaver on the Meris Enzo tracks awesome, even at + or - 2 octaves, but that's probably a bit more pedal than you need, now.
