how many distortion pedals do you run your bass through?

3
you like that bass okay? i had one of the alum-neck kramers some time ago and was really disappointed in it. it had a really inconsistent level to it, from string to string and from low to hi on the neck. is your pretty consistent? i'm wondering if mine may have been a dog, rather than a design/material flaw.

btw, i don't generally use any distortion on my bass. i get plenty from the pick attack and overdriving my amp's preamp.

btw, swearing when you don't get a response within 5 minutes is not so smooth.

oh come on i was just playin.. as if id cus you guys out.. anyways yea mine pretty even. ive done some work on it and re wierd the eq , changed some tone caps ..but i cant remember totally what ive done to it anymore.i dont play it much just when i wanna metal it out a lil i usually play upright bass now or a custom darrin huff bass that was built for me. the kramer is pretty sick though. ive almost sold it so many time but cant seem to part with it. did yours have the old dimarzio pickups in it? mine does and untill i re worked some of the electronics in it it was pretty dull sounding. and id agree nothing sounds like true distortion. and i get plenty of that through my garnet bto400 amp but still the over saturation and compression that these pedals in line produce is the wierdest shit ever.. you almost cant walk through the sound thats coming out.. its a brick wall.

I run through a whole bunch. but not all simultaneously. I do love my bass though, through A boss Ds-1, also through a Boss Hm-2. I played it through the Big Muff which kind of just sounds like farting, but In a good way, if I found the application. I also have some sansamp pedals that sound beautiful with it, but that's usually less for a distorted sound. I usually play with kind of a medium overdive/distortion which will give way to a more full distortion. Then I brutalize with like extreme distortion which will usually be more than one pedal. I also pull some sweet feedback when I hit a bunch of those stomps.

Yeah, I know the 'sound.' Last night at the show, I smashed my CARL THOMPSON 6 string fretless that I stole from Les Claypool just cuz it sounded so cool. Then I took my 17 DD-5's and plugged them into the 240v outlet and then lit my OR-120 on fire! Then I took a chainsaw and chopped up my 6 SVT cabinets and then took a poop on the remains. What a show! What a sound... it was like this: "twwwwwrrrrt.pppphhhhwwwwwttttttt....pppphhtrttttaaarrrraappppp!"

Fucking rad, dude. Fer sher! SpellCheck is on here somewhere though...
