Playing keyboard parts with bass

[leemarseillebass]

Hiya!

Just learned a whole new setlist, one of which is Highway Star. It's the Chickenfoot version but I'm curious to know if anyone has used the EH B9/C9? Ive seen demos online but would sooner know if tracking the lower notes causes and issues at all? I fancy the idea of not needing an actual keyboard 😊

Cheers,
Lee.

Don't have one myself but the review in SOS says "The pedal also works with the higher notes of an electric bass guitar, though not quite so well below the instrument’s D-string"

I've not long picked up a C9 on here. It's definitely designed for guitar but it is pretty useable with a bass too. I've found that it works best with my Dingwall ABZ when I set it to the bridge pickup alone, and when I stick broadly to the upper register of the intrument. It also requires a certain modification of technique and certain patches track better than others. Very useable though...

Ah cheers chaps! I'm glad it's been used on bass, I guess it's fine if there's not much happening on the lower register as the parts I'll potentially play with it are all higher solo parts... I'll have a listen to the clip now
