Re: Bass players - what's a good stomp pedal for FAT tone?

[André Donawa <andre@andredonawa.com>]

Sounds like you are going for the dubby sound.
Flat wounds will help a lot.
Even more so than the pedal.
Get it right as close to the source as possible.
A good  player and instrument will get you closer to that sound than a 
pedal.

Here's a good read.

Let me know when it's finished.
Would love to hear it.
