Who Use's Fulltone Bass Drive

I just bought a fulltone bass drive, and wanted to know if I could get some help with finding bands that their bass player use this pedal. Just trying to get some ideas of what sound I'm going to go for.
 
I use it. You have to learn how to use the controls on low to make it sound good. It's a hot pedal. I recommend using the controls at low settings to build tones. Otherwise, you're going to wind up with a tone that is too distorted to be usable.

i have one too. i was using the comp-cut before. but now i use the vintage-mosfet for my overdrive to distortion needs since i already let go of my turbo rat. bassdrive is a great pedal. IMHO of course.

I disagree, my Bass-drive is the mellowest dirt box I've ever owned. Which is fine, I mostly use it for subtle grind. Mostly.

I haven't found any Hidden Secrets to mine, even with a bunch of controls it is incredibly simple to use. Plug it in, stomp on the Go Button, and play around with what sounds good.
