Funny Craigslist post, "wanted, green pedals"

[Fuzzbass]

@MAJOR METAL did you post this ad?

His budget is $35 per pedal. That will eliminate a few options...

This is almost as funny as people who think the wood their bass is made out of has an effect on the tone it makes.

Umm.. Actually it does...

Slight as it is, there is a difference in the nuances of woods to the tone of an instrument. Not so much if you're drenching it in effects or in a really dense mix, but after years working in retail playing the same models, Warwick, Tobias, even some Peavey basses, the wood does give a not noticeably different response tonally.

Got a feeling he's related to this woman...

What's the best green for pedal?

What's the best green for pedal?

Lime...but for this person any will do apparently.

I had an all-green board earlier this year! The Earthquakers were pedals that I had owned and sold before and wanted back, so color was not really the issue for me there. Then the Fuzz Machine came in the mail and I was surprised by its green color. So I found the green Pitchblack used for like $50 to round the whole thing out. I've added pedals of different colors since then though, so I blew it I guess. But it was good?/dumb? while it lasted. Anyway, this stuff is all way more than $30 so it wouldn't count for the craigslist guy.

This thread is now about whether or not wood affects tone

Next up, does a rosewood fretboard sound different than maple? Who knows!

 

[Hows_life]

This one sounds better, probably.

Sorry. Should have made that pic more bass-relevant:

 

[Gearhead17]

Any time I go to a show, I always check to make sure the bass player is using only green pedals and he has all of his pedal boxes with him.

35 bucks per pedal?

[*starts rummaging]
Where'd I stick that rattle-can of green? I got a few ol' pedals to paint up for this guy that's green around the gills...

Answer to both questions:

If you believe wood matters, then it does. If you believe it doesn't, then it doesn't. Everyone wins!

Now, back to the green pedal thread.

I have a Boss PH-1 I hardly ever use--but I think I can get more than $35 for it, if I decided to sell it--and would he pay for shipping?
