    Well, you just need to add a nice chorus pedal. And maybe a compressor too. You dont need a distorsion effect, an overdrive will be fine. Now, just get a flanger, an octaver, get a nice cab to match that new tube amp and you will be all set! Oh and btw these strings are looking old, you might wanna get new ones since you’re getting a new fretless bass anyway.

    Whoah there, who has the money for an amp? You patch directly into the PA and that’s perfectly fine.

    Pedals and effects are so excessive.

    Now excuse me while I re-enforce the stage under my 900W all tube head, 4x10 and 1x15 cabs.

    Shouldn’t the bassist be complaining about not having a 20 string bass?

      Once, our bassist did a rehersal with only the E and the A string just to prove a point, so I guess that’s subjective

        The bassist for the presidents of the USA plays two string, and the guitarist plays three

        Every other sting is just a backup after all!

        Personally I don’t like moving my hand up and down the neck too much, I’d prefer to just have as many strings as possible so my left hand barely moves. Gonna need 24 strings now.

    Dude I plug my active bass without using the active eq with both pickups on full directly into my interface and I love the tone, this feels targeted

    I’m in this picture twice.

    My guitar gear looks eerily similar to the first picture. Many guitars (not quite that many, but too many), several amps, and a whole bunch of pedals. I have separate pedalboards for different kinds of music all set up with my favorite settings marked so I don’t have to think too much on stage.

    Plus I own a Gibson EB-0 bass that was passed down to me by the guy who taught me how to play when he died and a Trace Elliott bass combo that’s falling apart. They sound great. No need for anything else.
