Are there any problems with people using them on guitar? No? Then why should there be using them on bass?

Can it be musical and effective? Yes, so whats the problem, what else is it used for apart from music?

Granted there are nobs that use them to cover up bad playing and make their rig look better then they are, but thats not the effect's fault!

Cant find any eral use to any pedal ina pop-rock band so I dont use mine.

what happens LEC? These last days you have been a bit upset and nasty in your replies... take it easy mate! ;)

I don't have any pedals and so far, im happy without any, i just find that I can't find any effects that I particularly like (although i've heard a russian muff pedal and I was fairly impressed) so Im going to have to say that im currently happy with clean playing

...because if you wouldn't have done that, our free speech would [i]surely[/i] be in question :lol:


Anyhow, I'm planning on buying a boss guitar overdrive pedal (don't know exactly what it's called at the moment), and probably the boss bass synth pedal pretty soon.

[QUOTE=Worrpigs]lol i love what my avatar has started. first off, ian is right, this is a bass forum not polotics, i dont hate bush nor do i love him i just like my avatar. and im sorry to insult the leader of "your" country, i wasnt aware that it belonged to you, oh and i live in Wisconsin, which happens to be part of "your" country. have a nice day gramps[/QUOTE]

haha nice :thumb:


I run an Ibanez SB7 in front of a Sovtek Big Muff. Soon to add overdrive along the line.

i just got a Digitech BP8 preamp/processor. It has compression. equalizer, preamp, flanger, phaser, pitch shift, whammy, fretless simulator, envelope filter, wah, delay and reverb. It is alot of fun

hey guys i made my own thread about it but no one would give me answers....

what do u guys think about usind the line6 MM4 modulation modeler with bass?

I own a BOSS ME-50B. Lots of tonal versitility, unique features, easy to use, well constructed, and compression to finish. Great chorus, delay, and distortion effects. The bass synth is terrible, and no amp modelling unfortunately, but I don't care much about that anyways.

I usually use effects that are within the first section, "enhancement" effects. One sound I use for example (which I love far too much) is that with the fretless simulator, I use my finger tips to do a light "slap" on the fretboard. With the right finger placement and precision, it gives the notes an almost "kick drum" sound to them.

VERY punchy. I love it.

[QUOTE=studmuffin]considering i donated four years of my life to defend the constitution and help insure mine and your right to free speech I'll speak out if i don't like something i see. don't like it? to freakin bad. every gig i've ever played required a quick set up, takedown. don't have time for a sound check? I've never played a real gig that didn't sound check. i think i would refuse to play so as not to sound like crap. apparently your not around blues players very much or you would know that the vast majority are aficionado's who don't like any thing other than the status-quo. fender strat or tele, tube amp clean and dirty, maybe a little distortion if they're feeling real brave. don't know where you are or care but thats whats been my experience.
oh, and worepigs, you can call me gramps all you want, doesn't change the fact that i can out rock you and most of the other young uns on here. and i'm from Wisconsin too. so.[/QUOTE]

Holy crap, I'm from Wisconsin too! Sweet.

i like effects, but there are times when they shouldn't be used.


currently i have:

EHX US Big Muff Pi
Dunlop 105Q Crybaby
EHX Q-Tron Envelope Filter
EHX Small Clone Chorus

I have a 70's Big Muff Pi Crying Tone Wah pedal that i won on ebay coming soon, and i want to get an EHX English Muff'n. i tried one out and it's an amazing OD and Distortion pedal. I know, I am definatly an EHX whore! :D :naughty:

i have got:
boss odb-3 overdrive
boss ceb-3 chorus

but i hardly ever use them in songs, i just love the clean tone of the stingray too much

i think im gonna get a wah pedal next, anyone got any suggestions on which one to get?

I use a Zoom 708-II

[QUOTE=The Dutchinator]Digitech BP200, I love it. :smash:[/QUOTE]

Seconded..

But I still would like a BNX

What a bump.

I'm really sorry... I wasn't thinking straight

Who makes a decent fuzz baox and what will it sound like?

[QUOTE=EADG]I believe you could use a guitar one but it wouldn't sound too great.[/QUOTE]

Sounds exactly the same, really...Just snatch an EQ after it to boost the lows...


I have a Boss DS-1 and a Morley Pro Series II wah...I'm getting a bass chorus and maybe a delay later next year...

[QUOTE=tim_commerfordism]AC/DC Power Brick[/QUOTE]
