Firstly, sorry if this is the wrong forum. Please move it if I've made an error.
A friend and I recently parted ways with our two guitarists. He's a long standing drummer collaborator of mine, and I' ma recent (last two years) Guitar to Bass convert.
After spending two years trying to find a guitarist that gelled, finding on (almost two), and realising our ideals are not compatible, we've decided to move forward as a two piece. Drums and bass only.
Now, our style is not in accordance with the standard ideal. Ie: Death From Above and their fuzz base blues/rock foundations, but more in the post-rock/hardcore and the alternative and darker aspects of indie.
What I would love is advice on equipment to bolster our sound. Obviously, we need to flesh it out as much as possible to make up for the lack of layers.
I've purchased an Ibanez Pd7, as the tones it offers can help give my bass a more guitar llike distortion than most pedals I've found while retaining the low end essentials. I'm also considering an SB7 as we're great fans of synthesised sounds and, from what I can gather, the pedal does a good job of giving that 80s feel when tweaked.
What else would you guys recommend, or counter the above choices with?
And does anyone have an SB7 they can provide a video/audio demo of with simple straight notes (no blues licks or intricate parts please, I'd like to hear the sound in its purest form)?
I'm considering some kind of loop pedal to help layer, and vocal effects for the same.
Recommendations and advice extremely welcome!
Thanks all.
