sorry about my OP. pedals like walrus audio Julia and the DG VMT sound great along with my dry clean sound and EHX micro POG majority of my issues are drive pedals that just sound terrible. Every pedal I get, I always single out to start and just purely have that, I then build by board around it to see if it works well with other effects etc. if it does then it’s a keeper but straight away using the pedals on their own are no good. Doesn’t change when adding comp etc to it pre/post thank you

Hi there. Thank you for your response. yes I’ve tried the passive p and the same response. I’ve gone through my kemper power head and tried a friends ampeg & fender cabs too last night. Same results which makes me think the pedals are faulty.

Main gigging bass is EBMM stingray special 4HH backup is Fender USA P bass I’ve tried various orders, single pedals, different cables, power packs. You name it. I’ve done it mate and still no joy

Hi Basschat so I’m having issues with various pedals and looking for some advice. my rig is as follows EBMM stingray special fender USA P bass orange Terror 500 orange OBC115 my current board Boss TU3 DG Hyper Luminal DG VMT Walrus Julia MXR preamp these pedals work and sound great but my main issue is the majority of pedals. They sound terrible, I cannot get a useable drive, OD or fuzz. No matter which brand they all sound muffled and weak. I’ve had the DG A/O and it doesn’t matter how I set it, it sounds the same throughout the entire sweeping of knobs. Today the MXR bass deluxe fuzz arrived and it’s either too quiet to hear or all out fuzz. Big muffs & Boss the same. EHX mono synth just makes noise and the MXR envelope filter does nothing except boost. my clean sound is magnificent and using the current board is great. I use pedals and have done for over 22 years on my guitar board and they all sound great before someone says you need to learn. I can’t get a decent sounding drive for my bass rig at all. I can’t keep losing money by sending the pedals back. I’m based UK. reason I’m asking is that I’m getting really frustrated by it all, surely there has to be an option out there I’m in two bass bands, one playing 80’s style (any recommendations for synth type sounds) second band is just an indie alternative rock covers. thank you

I know there are multiple threads asking the same thing but looking for some advice and help please. I’ve played guitar for 16 years and dabbled in the bass scene for 14years, Except for a bass guitar, but I’ve never owned a bass rig, borrowed amps, pedals etc. The bass guitar is a Fender American P Bass 2004/2005 model S1. My old band have asked me to return as a bass player. I’ve been really getting into playing the bass recently and looking forward to the opportunity. Clicking online and YouTube shows so many amps and variations. There isn’t any music stores near to me to try out the amps. So, what am I looking for ? ideally a bass combo amp, however if stack is better, I’m down for advice loud enough to gig without mic, DI etc rock/indie/alternative music budget of £500-£900 The ones that are catching my eye so far are, Orange OB1-300 combo Fender rumble 500 combo Any help, advice, experience would be amazing Thank you Ash 🤙🏻

Hi Basschat, I’m Ash from Leicestershire. I’ve been playing the guitar for 16 years and the bass for around 14years. I’ve recently started to really get into bass playing and the guitars are being left alone. The last 6 years my bass has sat patiently in its flight case, but since returning to the UK from New Zealand this year, I can’t put it down. I’ve joined this page as I’m looking for tips, advice and kit discussion. I’m in the market for a new rig, so I’m hoping you can help me with that. My Bass is a Fender American P Bass, 2004/2005 model S1 switch. That’s all I currently have bass wise Nice one, Ash 🤙🏻
