Amplification and effects Bass guitar
bass-stack amp , speaker configuration
like electric guitar, electric bass guitar connected amplifier , speaker patch cord live performances. electric bassists use either combo amplifier, combines amplifier , speaker in single cabinet, or amplifier , 1 or more speaker cabinets (typically stacked, amplifier sitting on speaker cabinets, leading term half-stack 1 cabinet setups , full stack two).
in genres, clean bass tone (without amplifier-induced overdrive or distortion ) desirable, , while guitarists prefer more desirable distorted tones of tube-transistor amplifiers, bassists commonly use solid-state amplifier circuitry achieve necessary high output wattages less weight tubes (though smaller tubes can still found in low-power preamplifier sections of system, provide warmer, smoother character bass tone relatively little additional weight). few all-tube bass amplifiers still available, notably ampeg brand.
in cases, when bass used large-scale pa amplification, plugged di or direct box, routes signal bass amp while sending signal directly mixing console, , thence main , monitor speakers. when recording of bass being made, engineers may use microphone set in front of amplifier s speaker cabinet amplified signal, direct box signal feeds recording console, or mix of both.
various electronic bass effects such preamplifiers, stomp box -style pedals , signal processors , configuration of amplifier , speaker can used alter basic sound of instrument. in 1990s , 2000s (decade), signal processors such equalizers, overdrive devices (sometimes referred fuzz bass ), , compressors or limiters became increasingly popular. modulation effects chorus, flanging, phase shifting, , time effects such delay , looping less commonly used bass electric guitar, used in styles of music.
