Effects that make the bass sound like a guitar, synth, and more? Help! ;)

We are looking to expand on this two piece drum and bass duo project... some of the effects and techniques are relatively well known by now but we are looking to find our "sound" as we continue to write originals. Starting out with somewhat reimagined covers of our favorite tunes that we can blend into the two piece performance. Like training wheels! haha..

Any suggestions from the well informed bassists are greatly appreciated!

 

Both! lol

 

Yeah, we'll do better next time

 

I will post a photo of the bassist's pedal board operation asap... He uses a Helix on the guitar side and a number of pedals on the bass side, including some fuzz and octave pedals. I think he's still looing for that "secret weapon" that defines our sound. I guess I am asking for something that is hard to answer from the outside but if there's an intriguing pedal or effect unit out there, we'd like to hear about it

 

Okay this C4 pedal looks rad.. we'll check it out

 

Okay, so using this for the bass sounds rather than using an actual bass rig? We have no problem layering with midi sounds on a full production but we would want to keep the bass and drums aspect...

 

This looks awesome...

 

Okay, I see what you mean. We can do this with Ableton as well, which is fun but it means I will need to be on a click which is less fun lol I have used the click many times so the setup is familiar and we ultimately need to go that route for various reasons.

 

Yes, I have done that. The pulse thing is weird when you're adrenalin gets spiked at a show lol Flashing light works with practice but generally speaking, the actual click in your ears is best when playing with tracks imo.
