Well, you can use the TB-303 very consevatively, for it's original intended purpose, and it will just sound like a badly immitated regular bass guitar.

I did try that once, and found it quite a challenge. It feels like all the controls go well beyond '11' for the intended (bass line) use.

That's more or less how it was used in one of the first popular tracks to use the 303, Orange Juice - Rip it Up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESy-Z8vqMrE
