I'll bite.......

What style of music? What's your current setup? What's your budget?

 

[RickenBoogie]

Most common question, and much to learn with a simple search.

I've got a fender jazz bass and a 100 w combo amp never really used an efx pedal. My styles vary from funk to drum and bass style **** just looking for some cool pedals. That'd worth buying looking for a decent octave pedal and a synth if u know of any?

Before you consider an effect pedal, you need to upgrade your amp.

i would say start with a multi FX unit, get to know the sounds

 

[jbaxter90]

My amp is fine..

 

[jbaxter90]

Yeah I was thinking of a mefx but yeah does anyone have any other suggestions?

 

[Rthm]

for the octave/synth, the markbass super synth has both and has gotten some good reviews....

Thanks dude this is kinda what I'm lookin for

 

[jbaxter90]

But would rather a single efx pedal. Just think they are more practical gigging

If you're not upgrading your setup, then we can go from there.
If you're playing out of a 100w combo (solid state, I assume), a distortion is probably what you're looking more for than an overdrive...
I think the Iron Ether Oxide is perfect for what you're looking for, to be honest.

I agree. A boost into a fuzz is my next experiment. I've tried various 'overdrives' with my bass at low wattage and they all sounded farty. I think they are best used before a loud valve amp.

Homebrew Electronic Hematoma, Green Rhino, Porkloin, Badder Monkey, Holy Fire, Fulltone Bassdrive.
All these are great options, pass that it's a matter of tasted.

Sorry to have been rude but I can't really afford to buy a decent amp setup. I'm looking at tiny terrors n other shiz, but that pedal sounds really cool that'd def the sound I'm lookin for.

It's one of the biggest sellers on Talkbass regardless of what style of music people play or the setup they have. Seriously, get into it!
