Your average bass player has long been said not to be a fan of effects<\/a><\/strong>, and to be only useful as a support to the drummer. Thankfully, this has changed. New techniques have come up, such as slapping and tapping, and now a bass player leading the band is not a rare sight any longer. Many bass players also use effects pedals in order to try out new sounds, and are no less adventurous than guitar players in this respect. No, you have not misread this, the pedals are not intended for guitar players!<\/p>\n

Adrian\u00a0from our\u00a0international hotline<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has grabbed five of these effects pedals and test played them for you. Have fun with the video!<\/p>\n
