Not necessarily, some "guitar" pedals stil retain a fair amount of low-end such as the Little Big Muff..
Best to try out the pedals before buying if possible...
Some info for you if you are interested

With a budget of 700 - 800, I think getting a snd hand ibanez btb series and second hand peavey microbass would be good.

i think you are better off with a second hand bass. as you can see that is the advice that most bassists will give you about getting your first bass. for the same model it is cheaper. and like they say, you will probably change to a better bass when you get better. 
but yes, ibanez necks are thinner than most and are really easy if you have smaller hands like me. :lol: get the 200, the bass boost is good for that extra punch.

yea but i dont realli know some of the basses out there so hard for me to get one second hand. dunno how to look out for stuff. may get 'conned' and buy the wrong one. and somemore it being my first bass, the feeling of buying smth brand new is much better hhahaahhaha.
hmm think i'll get the 200 since its not too bad and it aint that expensive. arnd 400-500? and yea i have real small hands. sad. that was wad attracted me to the 200 when i saw tt it had one of the thinnest necks. haha.
anw. thanks to all who helped in my thread. deeply appreciated.

hi nictan,
you could always get a more experienced friend to tag along when buying second hand stuff. Anyway, it's really up to you, the money is yours anyway. =P
GSR series are pretty decent for it's price range. Stable and delivers decent tone. Just that you've gotta be careful about the necks, GSR are made in indonesia and i've some bad experiences with indonesian-made necks ...
so please check, especially for warpage and stuff, honestly, bring someone more experienced along, even in these music shops, if you don't know how to check, you can be conned too.

it just means the necks may "bend" after some time, causing intonation problems as well as a higher action (the increased height between the strings and the neck).
