[quote name='BassManKev' post='39319' date='Jul 31 2007, 12:20 AM']i know, what i meant was i dont think just sayin it is 'rubbish' is gunna help the thread starter, giving reasons as to why it is so 'rubbish' would be much more helpful, dont you think?[/quote]
I would also agree with saying it is rubbish, and if you say I don't know what I'm talking about or how to use it ............ well need I say more. Frankly I feel your usage of effects is limited mainly due to the amp you own and it won't reproduce many of the sounds effects make, I've used 150w 1x15 trace combo's and hardly been able to hear when a Digitech Bass Synth Wah is on with a massive synth sweep so i dread to think what you can or can't hear on yours.
End of the day the ODB-3 is widely regarded by many if not most as a POS if you love it great for you but I wouldn't start defending it as its a battle you are never going to win I've heard it used by many a different bassist live and everytime it has left me very very unimpressed and the noise that thing puts out is ridiculous and I find that people that recommend it are doing a disservice to bass players everywhere.
Personally for Muse stuff I would have picked the Danelectro French Toast and a TB Loop, its about as synthy as you can get and is new for £25 another good one would be the Ibanez SB-7 synth as really when have muse ever used a straight a head distortion sound a synth or octave up fuzz has always suited better IMO.
