the rondomusic ones we're all 4 string's. but for a cheap bass to beat on for awhile. I think that one was a good choice. I really wanted a musicman but way to expensive and i need money for an amp ( 10 watt's are lame). So I was going to buy a cheap bass and get a good amp. and then if I don't like the sound, I would swap pickups. plus I want a wah pedal with distortion, (refer to metallica bass solo topic).

I messed up with the pole, the question was supposed to be one of the answer's.....sorry.


From my experience you should purchase a pedal that has multi effects. That way when you need more, you have a ton of abilities. I currently own a Boss Me-50B with a BP-80 from Digitech. I get a strong delay, wah, drive, and tons of other features with that combo. And you shouldnt ever get a 10 Watt amp unless it was souly for practice purposes. If it was easy to carry, it would be fine, but you should shoot for something with MUCH more wattage. Dont ever think that getting a cheap bass is a good answer either. The bass IS your tone. Go to music stores, and try out ALL of the basses they have, then go to another and do the same thing. Do the same with all the amps to. This will give you a good feel for what brand sounds like what, and how well each amp works.


Both of those models have built in preamps that bypass the preamp in your amp... so it's not the tone of your amp coming through... it's the sound of the pedal board... the only pedal board that I know of right now with out a preamp is the new rocktron... if you're getting effects like delay, flange, chorus, ect.... go with a processor and midi pedal... it's clean and, depending on what kind you get, does not screw with the actual sound of the amp...

oh, and

Tone comes from the fingers... the bass is the second place it comes from... wood, frets ect... then the pickups and preamp... you could get 1,000 people to play the same bass with the same amp settings and it would sound different with each player...


Your right yes, but its not like he can choose his fingers sweatdrop

I dont always play with my pedals either. I like the tones I can make with the extra options. I dont think that the BP80 has a preamp to it, but I know my ME 50B does.
