4 PEDALS EVERY BASSIST SHOULD HAVE
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!
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!
You know we’ve always got a steady flow of new arrivals, plus plenty of vintage and used options, so come see what’s bubbling in the BASSment when you shop online; or, head downstairs when you visit CME’s Lincoln Avenue showroom, located in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood.
And, if you want to branch out beyond our top four favorites, shop our complete collection of bass effects, and start building the rig that’s right for you!
Available in four eye-catching colors—Daphne Blue, Black, Surf Green, and Graffiti Yellow—the new Fender Limited Edition Tom Delonge Stratocaster brings back the same powerful Pop Punk guitar tones recorded on some of Blink 182’s most iconic and enduring hits of the late ‘90s and early 2000s!
