Please help, Pedal upgrade

[CostaBass]

Hey guys and girls of TB, I have a story to tell and why this particular pedal is do dear to me.

a long time ago my friend "Garlow" taught me how to play bass. He was patient and kind to show me everything he knew. He was a death metal guy and I was blues but I didn't care I absorbed whatever I could from him. He played bass but he mostly played guitar.

Well not to long ago Garlow passed away in a fatal head on accident. It wasn't his fault, the other driver was drunk. He had very few musical instruments, since a lot of his stuff was stolen over the year (He lived in bad part of town). His grandma (who he lived with) decided to give out his musical instruments to his best friends.

so
I got his guitar wah pedal. I'm not sure how to use it for bass. It's so thin and weak sounding but I feel bad if I don't put it on my board and not use it. Is there anything I can do to make it sound better for bass?

Thanks everybody.

No, not really, but you could hold on to it until the day you buy a guitar, and use it with that. sorry about your friend.

Search around diystompboxes.com for wah mods. I came across and old Crybaby wah and am planning do a few mods over the Christmas holiday. Use this as an opportunity to learn how wah's work and how to mod 'em a bit for bass. Most 'simple' mods are component changes from one value to another to adjust the voicing. You may never achieve the perfect wah sound, then again you may just find yours.

Sorry about your loss.
