Thanks for the replies. Budget is not really an issue now as I have learnt that with music equipment price really does make a difference in terms of quality. I would much prefer to save to purchase an effects that I will keep for ever than purchase one only to be and change it a few months down the line. I am a relative newbie so I am unsure the difference between the digital,analog or analog voiced delays. Can you kindly explain Gaz? I am going to have a look at the Boss pedal and the DOD you both mentioned.

I am considering purchasing some effects pedals in particular a Chorus and/or Delay pedal. Any recommendations? I play a jazz. Thanks in advance

So true!

This is a great idea. You can find my SoundCloud account in my signature at the bottom. I have one song up. Sharing to a group is by far a superior idea for the bass community.

I just purchased a Tone Hammer today. I play a passive Jazz standard and I needed to boost the lows when slapping without that scooped sound of an active bass and still retain the warmth. The Tone Hammer is perfect for what I was looking for, thought I have only tried the Sadowsky. Although I haven't played with all the setting it does one thing right, and that is all i need, then its perfect. I recommend you try it and agree with what NoirBass said in regards to letting the bass retain its inherent tone/character but just hiked up a little.

Thanks Everyone for the welcomes. I am off now to get a 'tone hammer' or 'sadowsky' per amp.

Hmmm..Sounds a bit like my bass playing too...

'slap' is a cool language to learn

discreet thanks for the welcome! Your profile GIF reminds me that I need to get some wood glue to fix the nut in place

apparently some bassist are prone to just living life in 'swing' timing

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]Hello![/font] [font="lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif"]I can introduce myself as a new bass player, bass being my first proper musical instrument. [/font] [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I decided to purchase a bass after mulling the idea of getting an electric guitar. So there I was standing in the shop with a Les Paul Studio but things just didn't feel right.I walked around and looked at those 'huge' guitars with four strings. I sat down and held a Fender Jazz bass..PERFECT...PURCHASED...and here I am 8 months later learning to play![/font] [font="lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif"]SO far I have dinged my bass, swapped out the innards for a J-Retro(which I removed promptly) and replaced the nut by myself.Currently I am working on composing and recording some of my own music.[/font] [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]I am looking forward to gaining more knowledge and conversing with fellow bass players on this forum.[/font]

Welcome fellow talentless musician! I can throughly relate to tampering around with a bass followed by the confusion at how things didn't go to plan...well at least its a steep but worthwhile curve learning to fix what you break.
