I would just like to know when/if I start using pedals soon, how would I use one? I can't really find anything on them!

when you want to use a pedal, find a pedal that you want. there is a jack inout and output. if you want to plug into one pedal. bass into input, then the output cable to amp.
to use the pedal, just turn it on. Most pedals are stomp Box related, so mess with the pedal until you get a sound that you like before hand and play to your hearts out.
Now, if you want to do a pedal chain, same thing, except the output of one pedal goes into the input of the next one, and so on, and remember to mess around with what pedal goes before or after another. Right noow my rig goes Bass-Korg Multi Effects pedal-Boss bass Chorus pedal-DL4 Delay Sample- amp. Reason for this is that the DL4 I can loop bass lines on top of bass lines ( example is my myspace, link in sig). If I had that at the front of my chain, I would not be able to loop a chorus effect, but have the chorus effect effect every loop I have.
Hopefully that is not tooo complicated for ya.

I love Digital Delay, but yeah, masterofchains pretty much said it all. Pedals and effect processors are pretty self explainatory when it comes to hooking them up and using. Just be sure to have an extra set of cables for every additional pedal you wish to hook up and from there, im sure you could set it up in the dark. biggrin

I use a Sovtek Big Muff Pi for some distortion if the occasion calls for it. Easy to set up, bass>pedal>head. And you can adjust the sound quite a bit to get whatever tone you want.

I just wanted to add that there are more than just pedals that can be used for effect purposes ( effect being a way to alter your sound). There are Rack-mounted effects and of course my favorite effect in my arsenal is my Ebow biggrin

Do you like it?

Ya I do like the Ebow. The Problem with it is that the bass strings are soo thick that some of them takes a while to vibrate ( mainly the lower-sounding string, the harder it takes to vibrate).
Mike Manring uses an Ebow on some of his bass solos. Just depends on what you are looking for. I used one in a band situation a few times in a prog band and I use it to write songs for solos I write. I mix it with a lot of other effects as well.
the ebow is made for guitar though, so the string spacing with it is a problem and one of the things you gotta get used too.

Ebows are fun, and i'm sure no one can argue with the ability to have almost endless sustain. Just a tip for those who want to try one out, be sure to use light gauge strings on your bass to get the best sound from the Ebow. As they were originally meant for electric guitars, they generally have trouble moving the heavier gauge bass strings. Just a little something to watch out for. Peace!
