Some kind of p-bass. That's my good guess. Probably just a loaner since it doesn't appear often in her roster of basses.

I think it's actually her silver Precision Bass, but before it was painted to her custom design. It has the same maple fretboard. I believe Mami also did a similar thing where she played her HSS Stratocaster, still unpainted, on the Best Scandal DVD.

@jigoku. thanks for the reply about rina's kit sorry for the late reply... by the way... rina is really good in single pedal.. she never used double pedal that's why i love her, her foot technique is really damn great.... about her kit, maybe she modified that because most of rock kit or jazz kit is like that

hm by the way did rina use her drumset on kill the virgin ? just wondering cause i really can hear the full drum in this song T_T

@yukime213
Rina use her drumset on kill the virgin, she said about it on her blog. It was recorded as a monotony drums sampling. ..

@davezz
Well, you're not alone, I heard that auto-wah too..seems that her guitar tech has modified one of her stompbox/digital effect..I've search about it, and the auto-wah filter can be applied to her Nova delay. I read about that somewhere, I forgot though..hehe.
On their latest album, I also seems to heard a lil' pitchshifter effect on 'Koe' or maybe I'm wrong..

@320x200
I've search and found that Rina use audio-technica BP892cw-TH wireless headset on her drums workshop session..maybe the girls use that too..

@jigoku! wow! very nice info! so thats why there are some video without that effect. thanks! that nova is a badass! \m/

I knew it, first thing that came to my mind is that "I wonder if they use kaoss pad on kill the virgin, with those crazy effects going on?" and I was right... lol

Nice find, cherry! ..Hmm, KAOSS PAD eh? I didn't thought Haruna will use that. I thought it'd be looping music instead..and I also thought Rina will use Prophet 5, but she use Roland Juno G instead for the tour.

Since it looks like Tomo's new bass is a Yamaha BB424X (thanks to guiltyeyes) I found it's specifications...

Ah, it looks like it's actually a Yamaha BB2024X instead. Sorry for the mix-up! But they're so similar; appearance-wise, pretty much the only thing that sets them apart is the small writing on the headstock. haha.



Its specifications are also exactly the same.

Anyone knew the red effect (might be pitch shifter/volume, etc..) that Mami used on below pic?
I just notice about this lately. Well, the black one should be Vox Wah 847, but the red one..hmm. Digitech maybe? ..I kinda think she use it on Koe, since I heard a lil' pitch shifter in the end of her solo.. (or maybe I'm wrong..)

Maybe a whammy pedal ?
It looks really similar to this one :

Hmmm, yeah it really looks like it.. Thanks for the clue, bro! ..

That's is very difficult picture angle to see the effect pedal .hmmm.

Yeah but you can see that her effect pedal is pretty wide (Is it the good word in English ? I'm really bad I know ). But just to say there is not only a pedal and something nearby

Actually, I took the picture from Copy band picture thread, and if you watch closely there's a little button/knob near the pedal. While on the other effect that Erick posted, beside digitech whammy, the knob is below/side/on the bottom side of the pedal. So, the nearest possibility is digitech whammy..

After babaloued said it's digitech whammy, I immediately googled it, and several japanese website mentioned digitech whammy as one of Mami's effects.. ..Thanks!

Sure, I just post more options to make the discussion more interesting

Your welcome

do you think she uses the digitech whammy mostly on Queens are trumps tracklists? like QaT, Kill the virgin, and Pin heel surfer? just a wild guess LOL

If i'm not mistaken, the whammy pedal changes the pitch of your notes and you can add some effects as "tremolo" like the end of the solo of koe.
I think she gets it recently so she uses it mostly in QAT. For QAT(song) she uses an octaver, for pinheel surfer an overdrive and chorus, and for kill the virgin maybe a flanger....

It's been a while since i've came to this site.. I know haruna's acoustic guitar that was used in temptation tour! ^_^

Wohoo! Mami new effects set..

Digitech Whammy, Vox Wah V847, Fender Reverb FRV-1, Little Big Muff, Chorus Ensemble CE-5 BOSS Chromatic Tuner TU-2, Programmable Effect Controller PEC-2.
I didn't recognize the yellow one (DC Martin?), and on the left& right of Little Big Muff. Anyone know what are they?
