Huge pedal boards?

If your in a band where the bass is lead, then you need some pedals to keep your sound interesting, and DIFFERENT for each song.

If your a studio player, especially if your like, the first or second call guy in your area, you need to be able to recreate more or less any sound. A wide range of pedals can only help that.

Dude yeah, all the pro recording engineers have their bassists record direct through effects boxes.
 
No pics, no pickle.

I have to decline for two reasons:

1. It would be a waste of photo space, and, most importantly,
2. I'm currently under indictment for doing just that. I'm probably violating my gag order by saying anything at all.

Rest assured, that I, <real name edited for reasons I cannot go into at this time>, am ill-equipped to be a star in the adult film industry. I think it has to do with being white, but I haven't scared up enough venture capital to fund my expedition to the Makgadikgadi Pan to find out.
