Muse plug in baby

[scoobystig]

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

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.

I used to play it with no effects. Just an active bass

I've played it clean or with a bass fuzz deluxe

I just used fuzz, nobody complained.

I used a filter and a fuzz, filter off for the chorus. That seemed to work pretty well.

You'll get pretty close with a Bassballs - I think there's one for sale on here.

Edit: yes, there is:

Paul. That bass balls seems close enough for me and for £30 how can you go wrong, I've sent him a message
