My favorite use of bass pedals was with a duo...guitar/entertainer (not much of a player) and me on a double neck Carvin bass on bottom and 6 string on top. Used a set of Crumar pedals. When I switched from bass guitar to lead, I kicked bass. really cool, although the material was so simple it wasn't much of a challenge.

Still have full pedals installed on my B-3, which "lives" at a country club I play, and on the new XK system at home, but mostly play left handed bass at the club for the "hard liner" people into Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, etc.

One of the best performances I ever saw was Jimmy Smith at the WNOP jazz fest in the 80's. He was backing up James Moody playing a ballad, with beautiful inverted cords and very complicatged pedal bass. Not his usual style, but very impreassive.

Love the pedals.
