We’ve been going through our house over the past few weeks trying to clear out some junk we don’t need in preparation for our new baby. I also decided that I would look through some of my music gear and evaluate what I need and don’t need and offload the unneccessary. In return, I thouht it would be cool to use the money I get to upgrade some of the setups I already have. Coupled with some birthday money and a little creativity I was able to put together a respectable bass rig.

The centerpiece is my new MXR M-80 bass preamp/driver/DI. I used it for the first time this morning at church and I was blown away. I gives my bass the meat it was missing! It also has a distortion channel, which I see coming in handy for some future recordings.

I decided to couple this with my existing volume pedal, wireless receiver, tuner, and my future reprogrammed wah pedal to make a killer bass pedal board. As you can see, there is plenty of more real estate on the board so we’ll see if anything gets added in the future.
