Great Vox tone in a lighter package. As a church musician you'll probably never turn it up past "1". I started with this before I moved to Vox. It's a great little tube amp at the right price.
Amps are all about preference but this is a go-to for many guitarists I know. I just dig that Vox tone a little more. It's expensive. It's super heavy 75 lbs! But the tone. Oh, the tone. You probably don't need one if you aren't touring or recording but I got it when I was younger and I'll never get rid of it. Check out the AC above if you want something similar at a lighter weight and lower price point.
If your church has a good monitor system and you don't already own an amp and a bunch of pedals, this pedal is awesome. It has a ton of amp models and effects and it will keep your sound engineer happy with it's non-existent stage volume.
Plus, no herniated discs carrying it around. You can even download the Worship Artistry patch for free in the Green Room. It has load of amps and effects that are clearly Boss. The dual screen and knob interface on the actual pedal is easier to use than the Pod but the Pod programming software wins on the desktop. The biggest differentiator is tone. The Pod has a more realistic and dirtier amp tone while the Boss gives you a pristine, more digital sounding tone.
I personally prefer the POD for the same price but check out the demos and choose for yourself. The Poly Tune 2 is not only the right size for your board but the right size for your wallet. It's accurate and can even tune multiple strings at the same time. To me it's a toss-up between this guy and the Memory Boy. Both pack a lot of punch at this price point. I also dig that you "tap" the tempo by strumming your strings. Pretty cool. I love this little compressor.
It's great to throw on both strumming and fingerpicking and the blend knob keeps you from sounding over compressed. It's on my wishlist so I'm hoping to move it to the "my rig" category shortly. Everybody wants to know about gear. I love what I have and want you to love what you've got too.
The main thing to know is how to make what you have sound good! Here is my setup along with some recommendations if you are just getting into bass. I use this piece of gear when I record. It smoothes out my playing with the compression and colors the tone with the pre amp. It is an a-class piece of outboard gear and makes things sound so much better.
I feel completely at a loss if I forget this guy at home. It is the basis of all my tone. I love this pedal and have used it on most every record I have done for the last 15 years. It gives you the ability to preset 3 different tones so with a click you change your vibe. Its also good if you play more than one bass in a gig so you can get the exact EQ you want for each instrument.
This is my "go to" bass. I pick up a lot of basses and this is the one that If I had to take one bass to a session would be my choice for sure. It has a rich warm woody tone that you would expect from a vintage p-bass. It is a 60's reissue built with all custom american parts in Tennessee. The bass has had a relic mod which means that they beat it up on purpose so it looks like a real old bass that has been gig worn for 40 years.
It has custom bolt on neck and the neck feels like it comes off a really well played old bass. I love this bass for my organic sessions or if we have a motown vibe. It sounds thuddy and I have flat wound strings on it so no high end. The only high end tome is the woody sound of the bass which sounds a bit more like an upright bass. I love this bass for its big pillowy sound and its lack of sustain on the right songs. I also think it looks amazing!!!
This bass has a jazzier sound if you are looking for something a little different than the Fender P-bass. It's got great tone and is really playable. I am a sucker for these style of basses. I like the Jazz basses too and you may want to experiment with both the the Jazz and the Precision models of this bass to see which one you like more. The pickups are the biggest difference in the two models and the Jazz will give you a brighter less low mid heavy bass. For years I was a sworn fender guy because of the music that I loved growing up and the basses that were played on the amazing songs I heard from Motown to U2 to Delirious and the Police.
I still love these basses and how they feel, look and sound. This is the next level up in price and what you are really paying for is having the brand name Fender on your headstock as opposed to Squire. I know that can be important to some folks just the same as buying a pair of converse chucks or the knockoff brand. I do like these basses but they are not going to have the quality level that you would find in a USA made fender bass. Made in America Fender basses are great instruments that hold their value well and if you want the most reliable of this family of basses the USA made will put you in good stead.
If you are a pro working musician you will probably want something like this or the basses that have been inspired by this bass like Lakland or various other high end basses including my custom Bluesman Deville. Here's the most important thing to understand and remember about different range and models of Basses.
I have these cables because I was given them by Planet Waves and I have been surprised at how well these cables handle the road. They are the high end planet waves ones and do a great job in my chain. A good leather strap will always feel great. I have their extra skinny one with the neck pad and I love how it looks but it really bites in after a while of playing so if you have long sessions of playing get one with a broader strap especially if you have a heavy bass.
I use picks on a lot of the more driving rock based songs or percussive bass lines and the nylon and Duralin picks are my go-to's. I really like the tone as well as the consistency it gives my 8th and 16th notes.
I play with the pick side on so it increases the surface area that hits the string and make sure if does not make too much of an extra click to the tone. Palm muting also adds a nice vibe when using a pick. This little headphone amp is great for practice and not driving everyone around you crazy. You can put headphones on and even play mp3's through it so you can practice along. A great thing to have if you're just getting your feet wet with bass.
While those are hard to find nowadays, EHX has created a Big Muff fuzz specifically for the bassists. The different EQ settings are a huge win and you won't lose your presence when you kick it on. The price is right as well. If you're looking for a bass overdrive look no further.
They sound warmer and I like that they loose the "gangy" sound that you get when you first put strings on a bass that I would not want in the music that I make. My Jazz bass hates old strings and just sounds bad with them on so it definitely varies bass to bass. The p-bass with old strings thing is a vibe that has been a "thing" for years.
If you are into slap funk then newer strings would be a way to go for sure. So These sound good after a couple of months. Hey guys! Here is a list of my "Go To" gear that I'm currently using. If you see something that you like you can grab it right from this page! These snare heads favor the G2 tom heads.
Talk about a smooth pedal. This is a super durable HH stand and it has a lot of adjusting room as far as tension goes. If you're looking for that low thuddy snare sound try these out. They're soft but still have the weight behind them to get some tone out of your drums. This kick head gives you the same tone and feel as the G2 tom heads. I like it because I can adjust how much attack I get depending on the beater I use. You can do the same with a clear head as well don't get me wrong but I feel like I have more control with this one.
These heads really give you that deeper warm tone and they're great for keeping the bright sustains out of the mix. These nifty gizmos can make a horrible snare sound great. Just enough dampening to cut out any unwanted ring or over tone and they'll fatten out the sound as well. Definitely a good tool for the toolbox. Great cymbals for "playing to the room" and giving that darker feel to keep the bright highs out of the mix.
Snareweight makes a few different designs and the one I have is just the little guy compared to the heavier models, but it all just depends on what you're looking for. The heavier models add more dampening because of their weight and the lighter ones add just a little bit of dampening.
The M1 can also work on your toms if you're needing to cut out a little bit of ring. It's designed to control the resonance without changing the drum's brightness. Since it adds mass to your drum head, it smooths out those lower-mid ringing frequencies that are hard to reach. My favorite kick pedal of all time so far.

Now, I'm starting to add some effects back in very slowly, and beginning to build a comprehensive effects rig to use on a regular basis. However, I've been away from the pedal scene for a while now, and really have no idea where to start. Let me say first of all that I will not drop the Tech 21 for anything. I love this amp dearly, and while many have suggested that I go for a real tube amp, I can't find anything I like more than this.
What effects would you suggest I consider for the sound I'm going for, with the guitars and amp I have? Platinum Supporting Member. Messages 8, Craig Walker "Anger, fear, aggression. Messages 21, Yep, a TS9 and a Vox will get you the base tone. Craig Walker said:. Messages 1, Its all about layering guitars. One for dotted eighths, one for quarter notes, but both will be on time.
