scoobystig Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Without spending loads and going into a never ending cycle of chasing the perfect muse bass tone I have a boss chorus, ebs octabass and an ashdown distortion pedal, can I use these to get close enough for a pub covers band rendition or is there another cheap pedal I should look at Obviously this has probably been asked a million times already ! Thanks Edited February 26, 2015 by scoobystig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes, you can. I have played PLug in Baby with my band using all sorts of different tones and the song always works whatever, even with a completely clean tone . The song still works very well with a hugely non-original bass tone IMO. Unlike a lot of other Muse songs, like Hysteria, which are more dependent on the "big" Muse fuzz tone to create the fullness required.

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I used to play it with no effects. Just an active bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've played it clean or with a bass fuzz deluxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I just used fuzz, nobody complained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I used a filter and a fuzz, filter off for the chorus. That seemed to work pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) You'll get pretty close with a Bassballs - I think there's one for sale on here. Edit: yes, there is: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/256693-electro-harmonix-bassball-nano/ Edited February 27, 2015 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
