These days you don't even need a hulking synthesizer to get synthesizer-style sound. Thanks to the effect pedals and kits included in our range of bass guitar synthesizers and synth effects, even humble musicians like bassists are offered easy access to the lush and growling, satisfying sound of a synthesizer.
Synthesizer Stompboxes for the Bass
If you're a bit bored of your sonic arsenal and you're missing the singular, meaty sound of a vintage analogue synthesizer, or you want to be able to experiment with more modern synth sounds, then you're in the right place. Now, you can get the convincingly emulated sound of a polyphonic-synthesizer as well as a classic mono-synthesizer neatly packed up inside a stompbox. Big effect pedal names like Electro Harmonix and Boss are particularly good at this, and if you want to really raise your game, then it might be worth teaming your synth pedal up with a filter pedal or pitch shifter - or both. And to really light that creative fire under your rear-end, you're welcome to have a flip through our entire range of bass guitar effect pedals.
Turn Your Bass Guitar into a Bass Synth
If you want to avoid adding more effect pedals to your setup, then you might prefer a complete installation kit, courtesy of companies like Roland. These mega-special systems include a bass synthesizer pickup which you can mount in just the right spot under your strings so it can capture the string vibration before converting it into MIDI signals. By linking the system to a special module or DAW software loaded up on a computer or laptop, you can wield a whole library of different synth sounds from the comfort of your bass.
