Effects processor for live bass guitar
Greetings all,

My first post here.

Firstly, I am a bass player only. I come here seeking advice, which most likely only those with your experience can provide.

What I need:

A high quality effects processor to use when playing my bass guitar live.

I play a high quality semi-acoustic Renaissance bass guitar made by Rick Turner. http://www.renaissanceguitars.com/renopener.html

This bass has a piezo pickup system only with a custom 18 V preamp system. It uses Tomas Infeld Acousticore bass strings. These strings have a nylon inner core and a Phosphor bronze round wound exterior. These particular strings will not work with magnetic pickups and were specifically designed for this bass. This bass produces a very organic/acoustic sound.

I use Acoustic Image amplification systems.

The combination of this particular bass and amplification system provides an excellent high-quality expressive bass sound.

However, the endless search for the "perfect" sound continues. I would really like to not have a large array of separate effects pedals. So I am wondering if there is one specific effects processor that I could use to modify and enhance my live bass sound.

Would something like the TC Electronics Fireworks gives me the results I am looking for? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any information you may have.

Owen

what kind of FX do you want? If you're searching for the "perfect sound", you probably would find it in some FX box. That's usually an instrument/amp combo that gives people the sound they want. Sorry I can't be of more help, I don't know a lot of bass players who use too many FX, just maybe a wah wah, distortion or flanger here and there.

You need to get a Mangler, a PCM-70, an Eventide of some vintage, and an effecton II.

Maybe an ADSR filter too.

Put them in a rack an use a MIDI controller to change patches.
