BB Livestream - What Bass Pedals Should You Actually Buy?

@cheeze_pizza

You’re not the guy screaming p bass in chat the entire time are you?

Hopefully Josh will break out the P-bass one stream.

Ha ha no, but if the guy is calling for PBass he’s gotta be alright!

Thanks @John_E , Youtube has been taking forever to process the replay for god knows why, I still can’t get in to trim n cut the glitches and stuff.

@kristine maybe we need a whole Christmas sweaters thread?

I guess I’ll be slapping the P bass next time to avoid more yelling lol!

Thanks @howard for the bass breaks suggestion, I totally meant to do more. One of the many tech challenges I had this time is the levels in my in-ear monitors were way too low, so it was hard not to overpluck, and I couldn’t hear myself enough to enjoy it… oops lol. Next time I’ll get properly setup for happy noodling!

@kristine

the Flashback has a looper, but you also have a separate Ditto looper. Is that to keep flexibility in how you order your pedals?

Yeah, I used to run a board where the Flashback was set to do a reverse delay thing for a particular song or two, and I don’t like bending down and twiddling stuff during shows if I don’t have to, so I ran the Ditto on the board elsewhere.

Also those aren’t even the only loopers I own lol, also have a Ditto x4, the looper on the H9, and god knows what else.

That makes sense - make it as easy as possible with less room for f’ing something up.

My question about not wanting to collect gear was mostly me goofing, but every joke has a kernel of truth. Your response was perfect, because right now I would rather play than spend my time learning the in’s and out’s of a pedal that does seven different things.

So maybe I’ll stick with simpler pedals that mainly do one thing really well.

I think you are onto something here

There are so many questions about gear, I went ahead and added a note about this video to the BassBuzz YouTube Video Guide.

Nothing big but I’m sure someone is going to ask where that pedal reccomendation video went. Mostly it’s just a reminder for anyone looking for it.
