Members Ferdinandstrat Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 Take Chris Wolstenholme for example, I highly doubt half the Muse songs would sound so energetic and bombastic if it wasnt for him never turning off the big muff.

Members AidyCM Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 The happiest day of my life was when my band's bassist bought his ODB-3. Really fills our sound up! P-Bass + ODB-3 + Ampeg = Sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members neatobassman Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 I got into effects from playing bass in a 3 piece. You find a good overdrive for bass and it kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 A large part of a great guitar sound is a great bass sound. Myself, I'm quite partial to crunchy bass tones a la Justin Chancellor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say his tone is more mid-heavy. But if you mean songs like H, then yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, it's a fuzz, and it's the Pharaoh, I don't turn it off in my 3 piece band. When I combine it with the Woolly Mammoth it's pure sonic bliss.

Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 doesnt it make the bass' frequencies overlap with the guitar more than usual and sound poopy? kinda suck out all the low end from the guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea songs like H (I think that was a rat?) but it seems like there's a good amount of grit on his 'clean' tone that really adds something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mind_Riot89 Posted April 1, 2011 Members Share Posted April 1, 2011 Defintely, Also, bass distortion + octave up would sound badass. Yep, my bassist does this all the time. Since my band is an instrumental three-piece, it really helps to thicken out the sound while I'm playing a melody line for example. He uses a Bad Monkey blended with the clean signal using a Boss LS-2, as well as a Ring Thing for octave up and a Rat for heavier tones. Sounds sweet. Oh, and Timmy C used distortion/overdrive on most of his tones in the later RATM/Audioslave stuff: sounded immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
