EHX Deluxe Big Muff (135E) :

I have an Ibanez BTB305 5string bass(i think passive pickups and active 3 band eq)

I want to reach this style of distortion (at 3:40-3:41 sounds the bass alone and then with the rest of the band)

If given a choice between these two only (and personally I think both are wrong), you should choose the Wampler.

In that recording you can clearly hear the notes and the pick attack. You will lose pretty much all pick attack with the Muff and the notes themselves will be hard to hear in such a dense mix.

The Wampler, being more of an OD will allow you to keep your articulation and you will hear the notes much better too.

Yes, Wampler will get you closer to that sound.

Spend a little bit more for the Source Audio AfterShock BassDistortion it can do everything both of those can do and a whole lot more and it sounds amazing.

i was thinking about aftershock too, if you have any suggestion around the 150-180 euros its welcomed.
So between this two the wampler as i understand?

You should get the EHX Sovtek Deluxe Big Muff Pi over the Bass Deluxe version.
