Green, inverness-esk or kelly-ish. Would want it vlise to something is the dots, if i go that way.

I gotta decide soon though. Im kimda leaning on the dots but I dont ise those dots(inlay) and I think the canary would look awesome niked.

Just follow what you feel.

[GBassNorth]

Yeah. Just always curious how these pedals work for bass. Some great, some not so much.

I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.

God I love the Clash.

FP - here's what I use with my guitars (not basses) (it loves P90 pups). I find it to be one of the more useable reverbs and the overdrive is beautifully voiced as well. Very compact and dirt cheap. Not sure but I think they can only be had from musicians friend or guitar center.

Watch the whole clip, well worth the money.

I really like Fat shuga

I know her sister, Miss Shuga.

Nope, only guitars. I assumed it was for Kats guitarist.

Yes. The Polara looks the be the frontrunner.

Obscure LP/band alert : for all you Beefheart fans - you may or may not know about Mallard, so here's something to spark your interest. Two LP's were made in the mid 70's, I have this one and all songs including this one are great. Mark Boston (Rockette Morton) on the Fender bass.
Mallard (band) - Wikipedia ps - Chucky recommended I post this here and with this cover art... a shout-out to our Mark!


this is a fave of mine - bass very much in 'the mix'

I actually saw the real Mallard at the National Railway Museum in York in 1977. Stunning.

@GonePlaid I was expecting a bigger reaction to the Blazing Saddles reference. I was looking forward to saying, "You watch your ass."

Sorry! Long day. I was kinda zooming through posts during first period intermission of the hockey game(Panthers/Penguins). Panthers got 'Skroobed'.

I joked to her before, that when she gets the reverb, she'll need another drive pedal to balance everything out. She replied she only needs one drive pedal.

Mark this date -- Wednesday 06 March 2019 -- the day a guitarist with taste and restraint was discovered in the wild.

Since people were showing tube goodness a couple pages I will add my little 65lb head. (A Rola super bass clone). Late as usual.

Is it an AnalogMan pedal?

 

[fasterpussycat]

Yeah. Just always curious how these pedals work for bass. Some great, some not so much.

Generally not a fan of reverb or delay on bass. Can work if the arrangement is very sparse, otherwise it tends to get lost or the bass starts sounding indistinct/muddy.

The drive? EHX Green Russian.

We were unleashing sonic mayhem last night and one of the cats came in and started shouting at us.

I have a general policy of not letting my bass be played by anyone other than a friend. When I was in The Eddie Taylor Blues Band in Chicago, we did a college gig up in a northern Illinois suburb. One guy (very drunk) was offering to give Eddie $100 to play bass for one song. (this was early 80's so $100 was a chunk of change) It killed me when Eddie asked if I would because I had to tell him no. I would have loved to have this drunken dude give him $100 - but the bass to be handed over was my '64 T-bird II. Always felt bad about it for Eddies sake but as you all know, I still have that bird in one piece. Eddie most likely expected me to refuse as he understood how someones instrument was sacred - he just would have liked that easy money!

You chose wisely.
