16Again Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 This has probably been on here before but does anyone know what effect is used for the bassline of the Muse song Plug in baby? The cover band i've just joined is wanting to do it, can i get those effects through a bass floor pod? i've never really used effects before but bought a floor pod! Anyone??

Clunge Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Well... I use these to get the effect (playing the song up in the in the high D position): - Boss OC-3 (set to one full octave down) - Nano Bass Balls (envelope filter) - Some fuzz Someone may well come and correct me but an envelope filter of some kind should do the trick. I have no idea if you can emulate the sound using a floor pod so I can't help you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Mario_Bass Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Octaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parker_muse Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The octaver, envelope and fuzz sounds a good idea to me. I also reccomend new strings when playing it for the twang to it. Chris Woolstenholme has brand new strings put on his bass before he plays it live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 i use my deep impact, distortion and sub octave, sounds fairly cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosting the treble will help cut through. I can get a reasonable approximation from my Zoom B2 and I would have thought you can get close with the effects on you pod. Its a fantastic song to do live by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yup, we cover it as well. Such fun to play and always gets a good reaction . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
