A friend of mine asked me if I could play bass for his noise punk/hardcore band - I can't actually play bass, but that shouldn't be an obstacle for a noise punk band. But I do have a couple of fuzz and distortion pedals for guitar, so I was just wondering if I could use those on a bass, if I decide to give it a go. Which I probably will, depending on how much a cheap crappy 2nd hand bass costs.

And, of course, a bass amp to practice with, because as we all know, it is not safe to play bass through my little Hiwatt guitar amp.

yeah, the only thing that might happen is that depending on the frequency range of the pedals, you might get less (or no) distortion in the lower register on the bass. most old school fuzzes wont have this problem, but most modern ones (esp the boss/digitech sorta stuff) will prob get a little weird on the low e in particular. sometimes youll actually lose a significant amount of volume on the lower notes as well. but yeah, nothing earthshaking here really

Get one of these; thank me later. Works great with guitar too.

three weeks pass...

I'm sure the two dots after the "B" were intended to allude to a bass clef, but it nonetheless makes me read it as "ASSMASTER"

Dude, there's a giant pink triangle on it. It's an effects pedal that advocate/simulates gay sex.
