The pedal-like Stompin'Bass adds percussive bass drum to your sound. With Shadow Electronics' active NanoMAG pickup, the Shadow Stompin'Bass is perfect for musicians who like to create a natural rhythm to accompany acoustic performance without drums. Made out of chosen rosewood, which is often used for high-class bass guitars, the Stompin'Bass works as a fantastic bass or bass drum accompaniment to your acoustic band.
I'm a solo performer and this little wood box is a good help for me because now, i have, virtually, a kick drum which i trigger with my foot. The sound is ok. It would be better to have some kind of EQ or a few presets to reach optimal sound faster in a live situation. If you are thinking in a Stomp Bass box, this is a good choice, although you can check the Ellis and the Porch Board also.
This is a good addition for a solo performer. The Shadow Stompin' Bass is well built and comes in a nice carrying case. However, it needs sound filtering or something. Basically, it is a box with a humbucker pickup in it. It could use a tone control, or at least a capacitor on the output. If you use it on a carpeted floor, it does fine. On a wooden or other slippery floor, it gets noisy - especially if it slips under foot. Not only does it pick up every stomp from your foot, it also picks up any noise from shifting it around on the floor. I used an equalizer to cut everything but the lowest frequency and one band in the upper midrange for a little bit of "slap." That worked ok. But it slipped around on the hardwood floor and every time I moved it, we heard the move through the PA. Considering all this, I would say it is overpriced. Adding a capacitor shouldn't up the cost of manufacture much.
I am a solo performer, I have been searching for a percussive pedal, this one is nice quality, made of wood, compact, however, it would have been so easy to incorporate other percussive sounds into this unit, currently it only has a bass drum, and the sound is just ok, if it had a choice of two or even three more sounds, high hat, snare etc.., it would be much more useful.
