Distortion for Bass

there are a lot. among the cheap ones i suggest you the big muff. the boss bass overdrive is quite good too.

 

Boss: ODB-3 bass overdrive
Prescription Electronics: Depth Charge
etc etc etc

There are a lot of them, the best advice I can give is to fine one that let you mix clean sound and with overdriven sound, so your sound don´t loose "body"

 

The Sans Amp BDDI it one of the best, but I prefer rackmount distortion like the Ampeg SVP-BSP, Sans Amp PSA-1 and the rackmount DI are the best IMHO.

 

I've heard that the Big Muff is really good for bass distortion,but I've never heard/tested it personally.

I've been told that it holds low end really well.

 

I find that fuzz works better for bass, distortion just sounds like a 7 string guitar.

 

distortion bad. fuzz not as bad. overdrive very good. The boss bass overdrive is not overdrive. it is distortion. find good natural sounding overdrive. ebs and fulltone seem pretty good. sleep deprivation is not pretty good.

 

Fulltone Bass Drive....

 

SWR Intersteller Overdrive

 

This good enough for you?

 

dude that sample C in the tube column, thats a real badass sounding riff and nice overdrive

 

Budda Phat Bass
(real tube overdrive!)

SWR Interstellar overdrive: = $700

 

hey, you get what you pay for. the IOD is worth it, buddy.
