How do I know what effects pedal to get for my bass guitar?
For my last birthday, I got my first bass guitar, a Fender P bass.
This year I’m gonna ask for an effects pedal, but I don’t know which one I should ask for.
My favorite genres are punk, indie, alternative, and metal, but mostly punk.
If you’ve already decided that you’re getting a pedal, get either a fuzz or overdrive pedal.
Playing bass means, a lot of times, not being heard because the guitarist(s) and drummer play so incredibly loud, ESPECIALLY if you play punk. So what do you do? Use a fuzz or overdrive pedal and demand that you’re heard.
