Greetings all,

My first post here.

Firstly, I am a bass player only. I come here seeking advice, which most likely only those with your experience can provide.

What I need:

A high quality effects processor to use when playing my bass guitar live.

I play a high quality semi-acoustic Renaissance bass guitar made by Rick Turner. http://www.renaissanceguitars.com/renopener.html

This bass has a piezo pickup system only with a custom 18 V preamp system. It uses Tomas Infeld Acousticore bass strings. These strings have a nylon inner core and a Phosphor bronze round wound exterior. These particular strings will not work with magnetic pickups and were specifically designed for this bass. This bass produces a very organic/acoustic sound.

I use Acoustic Image amplification systems.

The combination of this particular bass and amplification system provides an excellent high-quality expressive bass sound.

However, the endless search for the "perfect" sound continues. I would really like to not have a large array of separate effects pedals. So I am wondering if there is one specific effects processor that I could use to modify and enhance my live bass sound.

Would something like the TC Electronics Fireworks gives me the results I am looking for? Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any information you may have.

Maybe a Line 6 Bass POD or the Behringer V-Amp Bass would be something to look at.

I use a V-Amp2 for my guitar and bass live and get good sounds.

I use a Digitech RP2000 for live guitar and bass effects.
I would suggest just biting the bullet and going to a guitarcenter or similar shop and testing a few things.

Fiddle around,
I would also suggest looking into a Boss Gt-108, ive used a borrowed and it worked with no issues.
