Your bass setup!

[neuromancer]

Just got my grubby hands on a Boss GT-10b a week or so back. I use it for compression and OD for nearly all the songs my band plays and chorus, flange, switchable eq (when slapping/tapping), octave for parts in songs where I feel they fit. I wouldn't mind experimenting with synth/wah, either.

The built-in silent tuner is nice to have, too.

This is a very simple setup: bass-->GT-10b-->amp, it allows me to produce sounds I wouldn't normally be able to without complicating things or requiring a lot of extra setup time.

I use a Boss bass chorus pedal on 3 songs with my classic rock band. I'm trying to wean my classic rock bandmates off the sound of the chorus so I can just play clean all the time. I don't even bring the pedal to the gigs I play with my blues band.

this is what I use ...

i use a boss GT-6B for most effects, but i have a separate boss SD-1 with the monte allums GT mod for overdrive. it sounds way tubier and sweeter than the overdrive that the multi-effects pedal can do.

you don't have to use effects but it sure is fun.

In my chain I have a Sansamp BDDI, Morley PBA-2 Wah, Boss CEB-3 Chorus, Ibanez PD7 Distortion, Boss SYB-3 Synth. These are all in my pedalboard on separate channels with my 5-channel Loop-Master. In my rack I have dbx 166XL Compressor, BBE 882 Sonic Maximizer, and an old Digitech ValveFX multi effects processor.

The Sansamp, Compressor and BBE are always utilized. The others are used when needed/wanted only.

I don't use any right now, but I definitely want to do a little experimenting soon... as soon as my wife stops spending all my money!

Maybe not so soon

Good luck to that I cant spend 25 on new strings with asking but she go to the hair dresser and spends 50 and says it's needed unlike strings

No pedals I'm in a classic rock band and a blues band I have them Boss Chours,Over drive ,eq,Limited enhancer Even the lead in the blues band barely uses them

Recovered effects junkie here. I found that I was distracted by the pedals trying to find the right sound that I ignored my playing all too much.

Playing clean, I find myself playing better, with more thought on notes rather than tones.

i don't like to use any effects, right now i only use a Behringer bass v-amp as increase the quality of my clean tone.

I've been searching for a good distortion but nothing I've tried has been any good.

 

[playibanez]

i dont use any effects besides a little bbe process on the bass end of my sound

italian rob, have you looked at the agro. i hear its awesome and someone posted clips a while ago it sounded great, i really want one for a overdrive channel

 

[Drifta]

my fingers are my effects

 

[Insanity^2]

Nope but I want to, but not that keen on distortion, I'm wanting a flanger, phaser and synth.

 

[eddybomb]

I have a Bassballs pedal I've owned since 1978. I used it when I was a teenager, but I've not used it since '79 or'80.
It's a good effect, but I like the clean sound better.

Your FACE is clean!!


Ohhhh!!!

...wait.

Damn. Messed that one up. :scowl:

I needed a chuckle and you gave me one. For that, I thank you my brother.

I never used effects before but then again I never really play my bass as much as I do my guitar. I do use effects on my guitar all the time, I have a few different pedals that I use (digitech FTW). they are just a fun way to get a new sound which can give the music a complete different feel then clean does.

I was going to start using effects and see what I like and don't like. the only pedal I have that I have used on my bass is a boss distortion that I never use! I like the clean sound more then distortion.

 

[john turner]

please use the proper forums - we have an effects forum just for this kind of conversation.

Effects are only used by those who wish to conceal their own poor technique!

I play surf and classic rock. I use a Behringer DR100 for reverb on all the surf tunes 9and some others that benefit from a fuller sound), and a Boss ODB-3 Distortion pedal on numbers like the Peter Gunn Theme and Link Wray stuff.

my fingers are my effects

Ha! I've got fingers and effects.
