Delberthot Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Depending on what I have with me I'll either play octaves but using thumb and index finger to play two notes at once, I sometimes use a pick and play root - firth - octave chords or use a Boss OC-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pietruszka Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ive played that track with a big muff Pi. I have the sustain as low as I can get to give a rough kind of synthy sound, the tone knob dialed more towards the bass-y end and the volume as you need. While it's not perfect, it may give a similar sound to some. It worked for me and no one came up to me and said "hey, you're trying to pass that big muff off as a synth. You should be strung up!"

andydye Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I just use my ebs OctaBass and it sounds wicked, more like the live version, but, really nice and big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yup, I use my OC-2 for this, whole way through Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiehoffmann Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I managed to get away without having to play this song for too long. Last weekend the dreaded day arrived. I used my MXR Bass Octave Deluxe and my EHX Bassballs. Sounded great and I confess I had fun playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lxxwj Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Found a thread on talkbass that says he uses this thing: http://www.dbxpro.com/120A/specs.php However, I'm not sure how reliable the info is, and I have no idea how that thing would sound on bass..
