any Mike Todd and Dirk Lance fans here?

i see..cool..thanks for explaining!

is it a good thing to have on the bass, even for beginners and for bass players like me who dont do much tapping and slapping?

Oh wow, seems like this thread had been deserted for quite some time, hopefully anyone could see my post over here.

So I've been playing bass for quite some time already and I would wanted to buy a multieffect pedal. As a total beginner for multi-fx pedal, I know nothing about it so I hope people could help me with it.

1. I found this Zoom series of pedal (B1, B2, B3), I am interested in it, is B1 already enough?

2. Am curious about it, but will my bass guitar's pickup affect the pedal?

Thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply!

1. But then which product of zoom shall I get? B1 B2 or B3 depending on my needs? Basically I don't really need anything too fancy, basic Fx like overdrive and distortion is good enough though, the rest I can toy around and see what can I do with it. Genre towards J-rock, a bit of Metallica and stuffs

2. 2 J standard passive pickups on it  my bass

I'm always switching instruments I don't know what to call myself anymore. Anyways since I'm now a bassist in a death metal band, I'm gonna need to be a bassist a bit more. Lost my mojo with the guitar already, lost my speed, lost my motivation.

So I went to TGSDP the other day to test out the Cort C5H since I wanted to look for a 5 string bass since my bandmates use a 7 string. And the moment i laid my hands on it, I immediately fell in love with it.

WTH man, a bass with that spec for 1.2k. I can't believe it, while I was browsing the net I thought surely with this spec and price, the playability would suck. But hell, it felt so smooth and comfortable in my hand. I can't really talk about the sound since I don't know much about bass sounds, but I know that I liked it.

I'm gonna save up my money for that, and sure as hell I'm gonna get that. I was looking at LTD F105 at first, which is a nice upgrade from my current Ibanez TR50, but compared to that Cort, and also since it costs 2k, it won't stand a chance.

thanks!

Well I've read some review on the internet, saying that B1 are some cheapo plastic version of B2 while B2 is made up of metal mostly so it's more sturdy, so wanna ask since you owned B1X, is it really that "vulnerable" as it is on those reviews I've read? So far are you sastified with it?

and erm, back to question number 2, here they are the pickups of my guitar, so will it somehow affect the output of it?

Okay, will stop by shop and test it out one day, thanks for your input!

Ba Dum Tss   

update:
Aw snap, B1X is discontinued according to DeadEye, replaced by B1XON which is around RM60 more

Well might hurt my wallet bit more, but ordered B1XON from deadeye already, can't wait for it to arrive

Thanks!

Sorry but I don't really do video reviews or whatsoever      after all im just an amateur, but I can show some photos of it if you want to

See how it goes   

I've checked the TC electronics you recommended, the tone print stuffs hooked me up a lot, just scan the pickups and it will change the sound? wow

I still don't get how does that technology works lol

Sorry if I am wrong, know nothing about pickups, what you meant was the phone transmit the "Code" to the pickups through the form of sound, it then transmit to the amps, the amps recognize what "code" is that and then change the effect of it. Right? 

From the looks of it yeah, that should be how it works. The amp probably recognizes some Code that's impossible for the bass guitar to produce and then use that to update the effects or something.

Where can I find this BH250 to try?

Not sure though, you can ask junky_man about it i guess

Well, I am a noob, but trying to get an amp that can jam with a real drummer, got caught up with the ligthweight but expensive amp hype, how much are they selling this for?

1.6k.... That costs more than my guitar and amp altogether   

Wah, 1.6k is same price with US?

http://www.amazon.com/TC-Electronic-BH250-...ectronics+bh250

the above is only around USD 270!

You guys heard about this home-musical.com shop from Singapore? They have this MB200 for only SGD 126? Seems too good to be true:

If i am really going for a bass upgrade   

I do appreciate higher ends basses, thing is I still don't have the so-called "right" to change it for now XDD need to skill-up some more 

saw that too, but then i just couldn't find a good reason to change guitar for now or maybe future (i don't know).

1st reason as after i bought the new guitar, i would abandon the old one which kinda wasted and stuffs
2nd would be the current one is still working fine

my guitar skills comes in 3rd (which i don't really have the confidence to claim i'm good with it)

Ah..

Unlike others, I cover japans song: J-pop, J-rock, Vocaloid's

One of the bass hero that inspired me switching from drum to bass guitar at below(I still play drums currently, for years. It's just that a lot of factors that prohibited me to own one so I couldn't practice properly at all.)
Niconico (Japan's youtube-like) bass player, there are a lot more from there as my heroes (even heroine )



Because of him I really wanted to tryout a Warwick bass (or even own one) 

But of course I do cover some english songs, bands like GnR,Metallica, Muse etc., but not all songs though as my skill's not there yet 

A year plus since i pick up bass guitar, had proper class for just about 2-3 months only iirc and basically the rest are self learning. I still got a long way to go

+1

especially those big names specialised in bass
