Continue Shopping4 PEDALS EVERY BASSIST SHOULD HAVE
No matter what you play––or how you play––what you need never changes. A tuner, a compression, an octave, and an overdrive/distortion: these four essentials are must-haves for any bassist, and we’ll show you a few of our favorites.
The devil’s in the details, as they say, and when you’ve got a full bass rig to lug around, you know what that means. Sure up the little things with our bass accessories so you can worry less and play more with reliable power supplies and patch cables.
You know we’ve always got great gear to show you. See what’s bubbling in the BASSment.
To branch out from the big four, shop our complete collection of bass effects and build the rig that’s best for you.
