What bass pedal does chris wolstenholme use in hysteria?

A good way to replicate it is by using a Boss ODB-3 (which I use and is amazing, I'll tell you that) and some people say he uses a Big Muff (Russian). Have a read into it, there's loads of information flying round on the internet.

Can you use a guitar distortion pedal on a bass?

Yes. Back in the day, before bass effects, bass players used guitar effects for their tone. Such as the CryBaby, or the Big Muff Pi. There are lots of effects that can be used with, or are specifically made for, basses.


Can an electric guitar be played on a bass guitar amp?

I can't think of any issues other than the regular guitar amp may not have the size of speakers to give the best bass sound. ------ Guitar amps are made to output guitar frequencies. Bass amps are made to output bass frequencies. If you interchange the two, you will not do damage but at some point the amp will cut out. I believe it was Tony Iommi who used to play guitar through a bass amp to get some really nice bass distortion on his guitar. ------ I believe that after too much use, the low frequencies of a bass may damage the guitar amp. I'd say it's alright to use it with a guitar amp, but try to keep it in moderation.


What instrument family is the double bass?

It is a plucked, fretted, stringed electrophone. In other words, it has strings which are plucked; the strings are pressed down behind metal frets to determine pitch, and the instrument's sound is amplified electrically. Less technically, it is most closely related to the electric guitar, with some input from the orchestral double-bass, and it has acoustic ancestors including the Mando-bass, the Bass Banjo and the Contrabass Balalaika. The actual Acoustic Bass Guitar, however is a recent invention, dating from no earlier than the late 1960s.

What are good pedals for a bass guitar?

Personally, I like the Russian Big Muff from Electroharmonix. It's the main pedal I use on the bass. Cliff Burton from Metallica and Chris Wolstenholme from Muse also use this pedal (although Cliff used an earlier model).

Is there any diffrence between the BigMuff with tone wicker or the original Big Muff?

There is not a big difference between a Big Muff with tone wick and a original Big Muff. The only difference is the color.


How do you find the frets on a bass guitar?

Frets are marked on the bass guitar the same way as they are on the electric guitar or acoustic guitar. Metal lines run across the neck. If you're talking about a fretless bass then you shouldn't have to ask this question. It would be a big mistake to try learn the fretless bass before the standard bass. The frets are in the same positions but you should instinctively know where your fingers should be before advancing to fretless


What are some bass Guitar Pros and Cons?

Thinking of playing the bass? Pro: Everybody wants to play guitar or drums, so there are less bass players and more opportunities to get into a band. The bass player is the cool guy that stands there without having to go crazy on stage. If you have big fat fingers, guitar can be difficult, so bass may be easier. Con: Requires more finger strength than guitar. Equipment is heavier than guitar. A bass can weight twice that of a guitar, so get a wide padded strap. I guess you just have to try it out for yourself and see if you like it. A guitarist friend told me that he struggled with bass, and was better at guitar. I had the exact opposite experience myself and have been playing bass for about 25 years. I can't get my fat fingers to fret a chord on a guitar, but I can lay down a mean bass line.


What bass effect could I use so I can sound just like Muse hysteria and time is running out?

Can you use a guitar for bass?

Not for a bass guitar, it is possible, but very low grade. I don't know quite what you mean, but guitars can be and have been strung as basses. Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath played one for years before Sabbath broke big.
