Re: Bass sound on Uprising

Hey folks,

Our project is considering covering the Muse song, "Uprising".
Obviously, the bass is KEY to the overall sound of this particular song.
I'm of the opinion that in the studio, this was some sort of bass synth,
but I'm pretty sure Christopher Wolstenholme plays it on a bass guitar
live.

Any thoughts as to what the fuzz effect is? Boss Bass Fuzz? Big Muff?
Something else? Any overall tips on recreating this tone either directly
on the bass or in post production?

Thanks for any thoughts or comments!

One of the bands I play guitar in does that song.
The bassist in my band uses an octaver, and some sort of distorted synth effect.
To tell you the truth I've never paid much attention to his gear!
