P.S. Try to make it something a little different, we're all aware of Muse and Metallica.

distortion — Daisy Chainsaw - "Love Your Money" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QnInDnHWl0
fuzz — the Who - "Dogs Part 2" (there are two simultaneous bass tracks, panned left and right, one has fuzz on it, most noticable in the little bass solo bit) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U9uGSGUliM

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Poland | | Church Of Misery - I, Mother****er (Ted Bundy) - killer riffs and distorted bass tone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRm_JThG35g
Black Label Society - Mother Mary - great example of bass distortion, one of my favourite tones of all time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYyijGxlSh4
Ufomammut - Hopscotch - even more distortion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnGQZP18v9A
Weedeater - Monkey Junction -another example of sludge killer bass tone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9IICXc26o8
Deer Creek (tracks 'The Gateway Was Broken', 'Born to Sin') has also the tone I love but it's not on YouTube.
As for overdrive, I think it's Lemmy's trademark, I especially like it on tracks like 'Bomber' or 'Stone Dead Forever'. Early Geezer Butler is one of my heroes too. As for some artist you guys here don't know, Polish bassist Deriglasoff has awesome tube overdriven sound too, check it if you want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=triac-Iwxbk Deriglasoff - Dyabeu
