How is this pedal on bass? Anyone find it useable in a band setting? Does it retain low end? Looking to either get this or a bass drive mosfet. Any experience would be greatly appreciated.

FULLTONE OCD on Bass????

It's a fairly popular pedal on a bass, so if you do a search you should be able to find a lot of info including sound clips.

I just spend about 3 hours comparing a V.4 OCD to my Xotic BB Bass preamp. I can't decide which I like more.
The Xotic is more transparent, and retains ALL the low end. Nothing is lost, but the Fulltone OCD kind of sounds a little more open and is more versatile. I love the TONE knob, it helps control those annoying highs that can come from using oD pedals. The OCD does cut some bass, but I think in the mix it may cut through better.
Both are great pedals BTW.
I'd be happy with any one of them.
I have only tried the OCD V.4, so I can't comment on other versions, but you can read this:

Thanks for that link Afroman. So they say that version 4 has less bass and...
-Richer even order harmonic distortion due to to asymmetrical clipping
-Improved Volume-control .
Do you think I should look for a version 3 for more bass? Or would the 'richer harmonic distortion' of the Version 4 be a better improvment from the V.3?

Sames questions I have.
It says less bass, but to em it sounds wonderful.
It has all the character that my old Mosfet Bassdrive had, but in amore transparent clearer way while being much more compact, versatile and retaining the low end better.
Damn Im buying the next one that goes in sale here! I had the version 4 for guitar a few years ago and it was the best od pedal Ive used for guitar. However I never even tried it on bass and Im now a fulltime bassist! Damn.
This is going to replace my vt bass which I have given up on for my 'edgier' bass sound(please no one yell at me for this comment!)
