Fender '70s PB + Tech21 VTBDeluxe

[danen85]

Hey, I just ordered a Fender '70s Precision Bass (mexican, couldn't get the japanesse) in olympic white and a Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe pedal. That will arrive to my country in less than one month.

Do you guys think it's a good mix? I play mostly 80's classic rock and hard rock style music in a cover band and kind of Rock/Pop music with another band.

I know it's better test the instruments before you buy it but could no test any of them here in Arequipa Perú, so I've just take the decision based on the youtube videos.

Thanks for your comments and greetings from Perú.

you should have no problem dialing in great rock bass tones with that setup; send the XLR straight to the soundguy, and use the 1/4" to your amp; try using the effects return or "power amp in" on your bass amp, to bypass the amp's own preamp and just have the VT as the basis for your sound. you could also skip the "bass amp" entirely and use a regular PA power amp (that's what i do with the sansamp BDDI).

a better pickup would be cool (duncan vintage, fender original 62) but even the stock unit will do you well.
