I work at a big recording studio in London, I heard this directly from Rich Costey the producer on Absolution. The Hysteria bass tone is as Ian says, Pedulla split into 3 amps, one clean, one muff, one animato, all Marshall DBS and 15" cabs, we know this. The secret that I've never read anywhere online is that its layered with not an Akai SB1, but a Kyma Capybara, which is an old weird sound design synth that I've never heard of before but is apparently all over Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations. You can see it in a couple of shots from the "Making of Absolution" documentary.

This is the first time I've heard anything about the Capybara even by the biggest gear heads trying to follow this sound. I know in the original Absolution tours Wolstenholme was playing along to a backing track of his own bass to fill up the rest of the sound so I wonder if it was their inability to bring that setup with them on stage (as opposed to a Deep Impact which would have been a simple pedal to turn on).
@pm8rsh2336 ай бұрын

Scott… little fact here that many do not know, if you bought the Absolution XX Anniversary edition, there is a part in the book that comes with it that explained what the synth sound was. According to the book, the synth on Hysteria was a KYMA Synth, it’s a very rare and strange AI powered software from the early 2000’s, and it is explained that Matt, Chris and Dom used this synth to overlay many different tracks on Absolution, such as Stockholm Syndrome, Time is Running Out, Apocalypse Please and most notably, Hysteria! If you want I can share the full bit from the book where it explains what this synth is! It’s very interesting, let me know :)

So, basically, one of the most iconic rock bass lines in history... was written by a guitarist, on guitar :P.

My previous band covered this. I did it with a Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon on the full alpha with the drive maxed and the blend at about at a quarter way up. As far as playing it, I just did it at about half time till I had the patterns down and then slowly got them up to speed over the course of a couple of weeks. The trick to doing it live is being very consistent with those sixteenth notes. Also, don't forget, you start first, so you get to set the tempo for the rest of the band. If you need to do it a hair slower, do that. It still sounds fantastic. What a great line.

As a child of the 80’s who started playing in 1989, I was obsessed with Dave Ellefson’s intro to “Peace Sells But Whose Buying.” I have to play “Uprising” from time to time in my band and that tone gives me a massive headache. I use an HX Stomp and I really couldn’t do it without the HX and an expression pedal. I sing harmonies on that song and the bass tone eats up THE ENTIRE frequency spectrum in my IEM’s and makes hearing my vocals very difficult on some gigs… but it’s awfully fun to get to be louder than the guitar.

So pumped you elected Hysteria as the (well deserved) best bass line ! For what it is worth, here is my take after (too) many years of Muse bass search : 1st channel : clean / 2nd channel : Akai Deep Impact (one of the 1st presets I remember) for the top end / 3rd channel : Animato cranked up full and blended, to get that raging constant noise in background (I am unsure as off the presence of the Russian Muff on this track). Very low action so that strings hit the frets with percusive effect. A real craft ! Then only on the 2nd half of the intro (after the drums kick in ~ 0:23 on original song), the bass line is doubled by a synth. But before it is only bass, no synth ;) Nice videl again SBL !
