Pedals and effects are so excessive.

Now excuse me while I re-enforce the stage under my 900W all tube head, 4x10 and 1x15 cabs.

Well, you just need to add a nice chorus pedal. And maybe a compressor too. You dont need a distorsion effect, an overdrive will be fine. Now, just get a flanger, an octaver, get a nice cab to match that new tube amp and you will be all set! Oh and btw these strings are looking old, you might wanna get new ones since you're getting a new fretless bass anyway.

We use effects pedals in prog metal all the time! 46 and 2 was the first song I learned, and it uses a phaser. Also, almost all the bass Daft Punk makes, is run through an effect.

Standard stuff like a compresser and a sound gate can be nice too.

Whoah there, who has the money for an amp? You patch directly into the PA and that's perfectly fine.

Not my fault they like fat strings.

Shouldn't the bassist be complaining about not having a 20 string bass?

Once, our bassist did a rehersal with only the E and the A string just to prove a point, so I guess that's subjective

The bassist for the presidents of the USA plays two string, and the guitarist plays three

Every other sting is just a backup after all!

Personally I don't like moving my hand up and down the neck too much, I'd prefer to just have as many strings as possible so my left hand barely moves. Gonna need 24 strings now.

24 strings, all tuned a half step apart, 1 fret

Why more than four string when not more than four finger?

Don’t brag.

No thumb string. Make string smell bad.
