4 PEDALS EVERY BASSIST SHOULD HAVE
Stompboxes For The Bass
No matter the number of strings, or the register, on your instrument—nor whether you pick with your fingers, or a plectrum—you can instantly add a smorgasbord of sonic variety to your rig just by adding a handful of pedals into the signal chain between your instrument and your amp (or DI).
If you or any bass players you know need some aural inspiration made especially for the lower end of the frequency spectrum, we picked out four of our favorite bass pedals that we think are must-haves for any bassist—all of which are currently in stock (or soon-to-be replenished) in the BASSment at Chicago Music Exchange!
Bass Bits
When you’ve got a full bass rig to lug around (plus a few new stompboxes on your pedalboard) it can be easy to lose sight of the littlest things. Make sure you’re all stocked up on all your bass supply needs when you shop for everything from picks to power supplies, patch cables, strings, and other accessories in CME’s BASSment!
