New to Bass? Here’s the Gear You Actually Need

If you’re new to bass, or coming back to it after a long time away, what gear do you actually need? I’m breaking down what I’d buy if I were starting over today: how to actually hear and practice with your bass, the few pedals I think are worth starting with, what I’d skip for now, and whether something like the Darkglass Anagram makes sense as your first pedalboard. I’ll also show you some of my first bass pedals, including the ones I sold and the two I somehow still have more than 20 years later. I even asked some members of the BassTube community to weigh in. If you’ve been playing a long time, what were your first pedals, and which ones do you still own?
