Absolutely in love with the fuzz (or overdrive) on the bass in this song. Any idea of a fuzz that could come close to or they might be using? I know the bass being used is a fender P bass, but thats about it...it's a pretty small band. The song is Phantoms:

Actually, the song is quite catchy too =)

Bump on this, actually interested to find out myself.

What kind of bass are you using and what amp?

I have a class today, but I'll give this a careful listen when I get home and figure it out for sure.

Sweet, looking forward to hearing your take on it

Kinda reminds me of this guy. But the Barnacle has more bawlz. Which I prefer. That was actually my first ever fuzz pedal. Got it used from Delta Phoenix. Loved that guy. Sold it to.....I think Tendollarcat in Australia....maybe......

Barnacle sounds like a great pedal, what made you sell it?

At the time, it was a bit much for me. I wanted something more like the smallsound/bigsound TA!FM. Something versatile with a clean blend. Now I have a parallel looper with a built in clean blend so the Barnacle would be more attractive.....but I prefer the versatility of the TA!FM to get me different tones.

But I've probably been through a good 30 other fuzz pedals before coming back to the TA!FM (sold my first, just got my second). So the true answer to your question would be "my wandering eyes".

It sounds like a Muff to me.

I hope it is a muff, that way I can buy that new big muff deluxe and call it a day lol

Anthony Petrovic is their bassist on that album, he has a facebook profile so I think I'll add him and ask what he used on it. I can tell by his pics that he likes P-basses, so that's probably the bass he did it on.
