the single greatest ROCK Bass Intro of ALL TIME? (Hysteria by Muse)

[@DanRecordsThings]

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.

[@davidhahn5522]

My understanding was that Chris only started using Animato pedals only after absolution album.

[@pm8rsh233]

There was one article release at the time the album was released where a grid confirmed it was the Animato, Big muff and a bass synth, but the synth being a Kyma Capybara is an interesting addition.

[@DanRecordsThings]

@@davidhahn5522 That's not correct. It's been on is board since before Origin. You can clearly hear it all over that album.

[@kueller917]

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).

[@pm8rsh233]

@@kueller917 I would say that Chris most likely plays along to a backing track for Hysteria at the time, and probably still does to this day. The deep impact is good, but is still unreliable for tracking at those speeds.

[@thierry18]

I don't know if it's intentional, but the duality of Scott's analog rigs and Ian's digital rigs is such a nice touch to appeal to a wider audience and show that there are many ways to get a certain sound.

[@PAULPICKLES]

Easily one of the best bass intro's. Experiencing this live takes it to another level. Incredible.

[@ettorereventon2667]

Chris is the reason I started playing bass, and learning Hysteria is still the highlight of my seven years of playing. the first time I played it in its entirety and at full speed, I almost cried

[@supersonicoooo4281]

I think the greatest bass intro is NIB by Black Sabbath, the reason i feel in love with the instrument and started playing after hearing it.

[@OlettaLiano]

I agree. It was one of the first things I learned on bass, way back in 1975.

[@maxjbg]

Hugh, I do not like it. Tone is very odd and the Timing is so off. To me it sounds like noodling. But that's music, one may like it and another does not.

[@theJohnGaltLine]

Thought the same, but can't argue against this either. Tie for first in my book.

[@BryJovi17]

This was decades ahead of Hysteria, therefore it wins, all else equal, because it was created first

[@AdrianSanabria]

During the pandemic, I decided I was going to nail down this bassline. Starting out, it seemed impossible to get up to speed, but 15 min a day in the shed and I had it by week two! I can even play it on my Goldtone fretless!

[@DarrenMansell]

Yeah it was a lockdown project for me too. That and learning Norwegian

[@originbliss9488]

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 :)

[@originbliss9488]

Nobody is actually aware of this as the Absolution XX Boxset was very limited and also about £140 each. I’ll share the full quote from the book if you’d like… can’t share it here unfortunately because of text limits and such I don’t think

[@pinheadgringo]

I knew it was a separate synth! Chris played keys in early performances of TiRO, and I believe Hysteria always has the synth part on playback live.

[@r-d-v]

Don’t tell me it’s the symbolic sounds Kyma? That would be rather bonkers…

[@r-d-v]

Quick google - it is the SSC’s Kyma. That’s wild. I owned one briefly. Had no idea muse ever used one. Nowadays you could use MaxMSP for similar effects.

[@Robfnord]

I think somewhere on KZbin there’s a video where Simon posford says he’s been trying one of those out, that it’s really complicated and you have to learn how to program it and he was thinking about buying it, that’s the only other time ive ever seen or heard of one

[@smbmxdirt3427]

It is, saw it live in Vancouver and it was awesome.

[@devinebass]

🔥🔥🔥

[@dan4392]

I'm not disputing. Also totally agree the hardest part is jumping between the A and E strings without missing any notes and staying in time!

[@paulhcan]

Hysteria is always a regular fave with students at the annual show at the Forum Music School in Darlington - but just off at a tangent, Chris Squires bassline on "No Opportunity Necessary...." from "Time And A Word" when the verse kicks in is up there with the best of them - it's just as relentless as Hysteria.

[@jbirzer]

I would make an argument that the intro for Megadeth's "Peace Sells" is pretty iconic. MTV used it for the intro for their news for years.

[@justinkey4895]

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.

[@robertf1309]

Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith got me into playing bass. I saw Aerosmith in 2004 for my birthday and heard that bass intro and I was hooked. I asked for a bass guitar my following birthday and have been playing the bass ever since.

[@michaelmoore7568]

Fun Fact: it has, effectively, the same bass intro as Sabotage by the Beastie Boys.

[@joelspaulding5964]

​@@michaelmoore7568Not at all.

[@jamesadamgleason9471]

That's a fun one with the chord arrangement

[@NattyTrugs]

No arm twisting required here. Definitely the best bass intro I've heard.

[@L_W748]

I felt so accomplished as a beginner-intermediate bassist when I finally learned this!! I can play it at about 90% speed. Just working on tightening things up before trying to play at full speed. It’s by far my favorite song to play!!!

[@devinebass]

🧡🧡🧡

[@Spermwhales93]

Another big thing that people forget about this riff is that it was originally written by Matt Bellamy on guitar. The intro of the song was originally supposed to be on guitar, but it was changed to be a bass intro later because Matt thought it sounded cooler that way. So, basically, one of the most iconic rock bass lines in history... was written by a guitarist, on guitar :P.

[@mrstock7986]

Wat strikes me most about this particular bassline is how _relentless_ it is. There's no pause. At all. Ever. It just goes on all the time. That and the awesome aggressive tone, yeah. That too.

[@williamross2579]

Chris’s Rapture was hanging up for sale in Mansons (Exeter) the fortnight before he purchased it, and used it at Glastonbury.

[@andrewpappas9311]

I would definitely say that it's one of the best intros from the 2000s (as well as just one of the best in general), this was one of the first songs I learned when I started playing bass in high school and it's still one of my absolute favourites to jam on my Rickenbacker. Absolute classic and Absolution will always be one of my favourite Muse albums

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@devinebass I sometimes find the closest I get to the original is with my Big Muff Pi and my Boss OD-1X (either or), it’s definitely a specific type of fuzz/distortion and that’s what makes it great

[@atlasisshrugging]

Best bass intro: John Myung on Dream Theater's "Panic Attack".🤘 It's really a two-part intro where the bass starts solo, guitar/drums/keyboard joins and then drops away, and then the bass starts again, PUSHING the rest of the song forward like a low-end sonic-tsunami.

[@beefsuprem0241]

Ive never touched a guitar but love Muse and found this very interesting 😜

[@kensteckelberg7013]

I learned this years ago and it's so refreshing to see that I play it exactly the way you just showed it. I've seen it played a little differently but sonically, this way is what made sense, sounded the best, and seemed to be the most ideal way to play it. Thanks for the great vid!

[@biffcorbot8839]

That synth sound sounds exactly like my old Roland Juno 60 that I ended up selling to an LA studio last year for 6 times what I paid for it in the 80s.

[@biffcorbot8839]

@@mbrew3244 my son, bass player for a fairly successful band based in Nashville, was extremely pissed

[@nothingwheel]

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.

[@Roeltje1]

Love SBL. Would you please do a video about Simon Gallup of The Cure. His basslines are so great. Keep up the good work. Love your channel. Greetings from Belgium.

[@gary999t]

You can't argue that Hysteria is one of the greatest rock bass intros of all time. Hysteria and Time Is Running Out are both iconic bass intros - shows how good the bass is on Absolution.

[@ChadHensley]

Thanks for taking the time to show the HX Stomp! I have had my Stomp for a while but pretty much just living on the IMA preset packs and occasionally diving in to try and create my own.

It's brilliant! I lived and breathed that one for days. I'd have to figure it out all over again now, at least some of it.

[@GamePlayMetal]

I think what you're missing is that on top of all that, one of the sounds in the chain is going through an octaver (an octave lower I think) to make it really massive

[@Farewelltokingz]

It’s not an octave, it’s a sawtooth synthesizer overdub.

you won't have to send anyone round to my house, as it's obviously the best bass intro to any song, Rock or otherwise. I had the honour of playing in band with George Bellamy ( Matt's dad ) and so was able to witness Chris play this live whilst watching from the side of the stage. My favourite Muse track.

[@jerdure]

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 ! Lots of love coming your way

[@pm8rsh233]

It’s a bass synth, layered on top of a muff, and animato. I believe Chris said “I don’t think we ended up using the clean track in the end”. It’s not the Deep Impact, and the bass synth runs throughout the entire song. It doesn’t start at 23 seconds.

[@jerdure]

@@pm8rsh233 You may be indeed right, but something does happen 1 octave below at 0:23 on top of the bass line (that you can hear isolated separately). It sounds like a typical synth sub octave. Interesting !

[@pm8rsh233]

@@jerdure I don’t think that’s an octave. It sounds more like a change in the mix. That change doesn’t happen in the isolated bass track, which to me suggests it’s just the mix.

[@PierreAntoineRoiron]

Scott is right, the second part on the 4th string can be tricky because of this G on the 3rd string. That's why I always play de G on the 4th string (15th fret), it's less clear sounding but far more easy to me.

[@bassmandudge]

I toured in a Muse tribute for almost 6 years. Before I got my Animato I used a boss OS2 ( as did Chris) which sounds pretty close. The Animato is a hideous sounding pedal on its own....it is vile nasty and aggressive and absolutely to die for when blended with a clean signal. I love mine .. I still have my Marshall DBS 400s with a 1*15 and a 2*15 DBs cabs. I never nailed this tone until I got the 2*15 ..what a cab that is. Live I used a..russian big muff, Animato and clean signal ... Live We play to a click ( just like Muse) and the synth part comes in with the guitar riff and sounds huge. The Animato is such a huge part of Chris' sound... When blended with OC2 it gets really synthy.... In all the time I toured I never got a deep impact....and frankly never needed it for any of the 2 hour set we did. There are songs where it is right, front and centre but there are so many ways to replicate what it does but despite being a distortion pedal nothing actually nails the Animato sound in my opinion...it just has something. I never used a Pedula I had an active Jazz bass and frankly sounded amazing ... I would like to say that Chris is a massively under rated bassist... I used to love playing his lines and really miss all the tap dancing on the craziest pedal board.... I still play in a band with our singer from those days.... This brought back some seriously good memories. I have a vid on KZbin showing how I got my Uprising tone..worth a watch if you're into Muse tones.

[@Zico_277]

Another fun fact, originally Matt Bellamy(Vocalist and Guitarrist of Muse) wrote the line for his guitar part but he didn't like it on the guitar so he just asked chris to play it on Bass. Also after the Chorus plays for the first time in the song you can hear the guitar playing the bassline
