No pedals. Slight over drive out of a Sound City 150 wired like a JCM800 through a 4x12.

Lower the strings where they rattle and buzz alot and you get a good controllable sound.

Fuckin' A Kevin...that sounds great! You're seriously playing that through a 4x12?

Oh, and fuck Mars Volta.

the bass on "Taylor Made" is massive. Kevin I forget are you playing a bean or one of your own on that?

I use one pedal, a tubescreamer reissue for overdrive.

Just picked up some new ibanez synthbass pedal, it's fun to fuck around with but I don't know yet if I'll get a useable tone out of it.

it normally goes like this: boss compressor->depth charge->big muff->moogerfooger ring modulator->Line 6 delay stompbox->loop station->ampeg combo amp.

recently, i've been discarding the moogerfooger and the big muff, and using those on a shitty old drum machine instead.

i like the big muff fine, but the depth charge has a more harsh sound and when both are used something gets canceled out.

eh...

i use the loop station also, but only at home or at practice when laying down something I want to play over on guitar. I don't really trust it. It's like a control freak bandleader. You either have to completely give into it or go your separate ways.

speaking of bass picks, what kind are you people using? I like the big fender triangle picks: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... rc=3WMS3FR

i merely use the loop station for pre-recorded droney noise shit. i'm way too nervous to use it "live."

It's pretty hard to drive the preamp of my blue face SVT. What I really mean is it's hard to be in the same room as the amp at that volume.

P-Bass->SHO->Boss DS-1(not used all the time)->Amp

Hey, I do the same thing...although I'm hoping to integrate into our live show soon. I'd LOVE to get my hands on one of these bad boys, but fuck me, they're expensive.

I use these. Fucking love 'em. No joke.

Oh, and fuck Mars Volta.

Jesus, that 2880 looks insane...

i'm already on the verge of using a small table for my pedals when we play live, but that would definately require it.

I saw my friends band play the other night (Chicago's mighty BINGES) and my friend anthony had 4 head rushes running through a small mixer...out into a sunn cab...fucking madness.

The bass I use is a Travis Bean Reissue with Seymour Duncan Hotstacks in it. They sound alot different from the old Beans. Thank you on the sound, i do love it.

Not only is it a 4x12(genz benz) its a slanted one at that.

Generally, I use the green 1.5mm. They never break, they just wear away. I bought a pack 2 years ago and I'm still workin' on 'em.

What are the queers doing to the soil?
