Helping Bass Players Build Rigs They Can Trust
I’m Twistie. I’ve been playing bass since 1984 and working with amp modelling and modern rigs since the mid-2000s.
For years I chased tone by changing gear, trying new ideas, and hoping the next thing would be the fix.
What actually changed everything was learning how the whole rig works together. Once I had a system, my sound became consistent and predictable.
Now I help other bass players build rigs they can trust, on stage, in rehearsal, and in recordings.
Why I Built BasSquad
Like a lot of bass players, I spent years chasing tone by collecting gear, presets, and advice from all over the place. Some of it worked. A lot of it didn’t translate when it mattered most.
The breakthrough wasn’t a new pedal or preset. It was learning how to think about a bass rig as a system.
Once I stopped guessing and started building rigs intentionally, everything got easier. Live sound improved. Recording became predictable. Confidence followed.
BasSquad exists to help other bass players reach that point faster.
Why Community Matters
Most bass players do not need more opinions. They need clarity, context, and a place to ask questions without feeling judged.
That’s why a dedicated bass player community matters. Learning is faster when you can see real rigs, real constraints, and real solutions. You get perspective, encouragement, and practical feedback that you simply cannot get from a comment thread in a public forum.
BasSquad exists to be that focused place.
It’s where players can learn together, share what’s working, and build confidence through real-world support.
The BassRig Mastery Method™
Everything inside BasSquad is built on the BassRig Mastery Method™, a practical framework I created to help bass players understand how their bass, signal chain, amplification, and environment work together.
It’s not about chasing perfect tone. It’s about building a rig that behaves consistently across live gigs, rehearsals, and recordings.
The method gives you the structure. The community helps you apply it in the real world, so your setup stops feeling random and starts feeling reliable.
