[quote name='GazWills' post='762038' date='Mar 2 2010, 05:58 PM']nice - how's the seekwah for bass working out? i've never used one, but always fancied trying, sounds interesting.[/quote] I really like it, I mainly use it to add rhythmic ideas. Alot of people would probably complain about low end loss but for what I use it for, it's great.

Here's mine at the moment:

[quote name='bass5' post='760189' date='Feb 28 2010, 09:42 PM']frankly speaking unless you are Doug Wimbish, or Stuart Hamm, if you play in a band doing covers or playing a particular style you'll find you'll hardly use effects. We are not guitarists after all we don't need any of that w@nking stuff [/quote] I think you're in the wrong forum . This is the effects forum... Anyway, some people do find that they use effects alot (I know I do). Just because people use effects doesn't mean that it's for fretboard showmanship (or w@nkery as you so delicately put it ) [quote name='bass5' post='760189' date='Feb 28 2010, 09:42 PM']I've gone through a lot of effects pedals and ended up selling them all back because to me they just add unwanted noise to the otherwise beautiful natural sound of a bass going through a decent amp.[/quote] If you spend time perfecting your set-up, you can use effects without adding any noise or changing your tone when the effects are bypassed. But, as you said that was to you, I think the tolerance of tone-suck/added noise is all very subjective to individual users. Not many bass effects users are tone purists (as far as I know). [quote name='bass5' post='760189' date='Feb 28 2010, 09:42 PM']When you play in a band your singer and your drummer need to rely on your fundamental backbone, not your echo, chorus flairs, or wah wah sweeps, no Sir.[/quote] I half agree with this. I personally think there's 2 types of effects users: Those who use effects to shape and develop lines (this one's the category I fall into). Those who use effects to create lines. Although I agree about the other band members relying on the fundamental backbone I think the backbone they need is rhythmic and harmonic, to me it doesn't matter how it's presented (whether it has echo, chorus or wah) as long as those two fundamentals are there. That's all just my opinion of course and everyone will different preferences when it comes to effects usage. I respect your opinion and definitely understand where you're coming from but I think this thread could benefit from having views from both sides .
