Ha! When I went to gc to look at some pedals, the guy at the counter tried to get me to buy a mastotron because thats what muse uses. I've never heard of them except for the threads here. I'm 26, but look like I'm 36 and told him I was a country and blues guy
You are definately missing out on some good music, and some of the best use of effects on bass in music today (IMO of course), Chris Wolstenholme has some serious skills, and his right hand stamina is immense.

They're pretty cool but if you post a "How I do I get the tone from 'x' by Muse" thread, we can't be friends anymore

I am still pretty "green" and def the FNG, but I would never. I fully see the pattern re: certain frequently asked questions. But Hell, that guy is a TONE MONSTER!!!
The guitard from my old band used to play Supermassive Black Hole over and over and over again...badly. It kinda turned me off of their music, but they do have some pretty good stuff.
I had never consciously listened to Muse until I started dating my current girlfriend, who soon pointed out Time is Running Out is featured in a scene in the first Twilight movie. I like a few of their songs, Chris Wolstenholme has some serious skills, nice use of effects and some pretty upfront, catchy lines, but they just don't interest me. I also dislike how popular they are and how it seems like everyday they or one of their songs has been voted as the best ____ ever.
I've heard about them plenty on here but never actually checked them out, and finally just went and took a YouTube tour. Pretty cool super slick pop rock stuff, but what amazed me most was that I've managed to have heard every song I played on some commercial, movie, or show. Way to cash in, Muse-guys.
+1...ALL my mates are Muse fans, but to me they're just overproduced Radiohead wannabees - besides they use SOO much goddamn customised gear they could easily mime onstage by flicking a magic switch and the audience would think they were gods damn gift - sod Muse playing Wembley Arena with all their showey bollocks, I'd rather watch the White Stripes playing on the floor in a cramped smokey pub!!
You watch Twilight
From the sound of the post (hoping and guessing) it sounds like his GF made him watch it.
They make some great noises, but I'm starting to get tired of dynamics-less music. That wall of compressed sound would make me very tired after a short time. Would be so much better if they'd just STOP every once in a while!
But yes, very, very nice use of effects. Every one clear as a bell, never heard any mud.
