That does look a bit tasty!

Anybody tried the dual-P Fender Blacktop Jazz basses?

If you can get the Tarkin with a blend then I am interested! I'll send you a PM...

I've tried the Supercollider, TFR, Pickle Pie B, Musket, but the EHX Bass Big Muff works best for me. I had to mod it to fix the volume issue where it's too loud in dry mode, but the deluxe version fixes this by having a properly adjustable blend control. The TFR has great low end like the BBM, these two are the best of the bunch in this particular area. As a standalone fuzz, the TFR is the best I've heard. But for me a clean blend is essential to cut through the mix - not to bring back missing lows like some use a blend for, but to bring back some of dynamics lost by squashing the hell out of the signal. The TFR is available with a blend, but I swear that on the one I had it was wired out of phase, so that the volume dropped at a certain mid way point and it just sounded weird at every other point!

I have a first class masters in mechanical engineering and I say your astrophysicist brother is talking out of his black hole!

I would've just wedged something under the front. A small child could fall on that amp and impale themselves on that.

A thread was posted on talkbass recently with clips comparing the Sansamp/B7K/RustyBox etc - and the best sounding to me was the Aguilar Tonehammer: [url="http://johnbscott.com/preamp_shootout/"]http://johnbscott.com/preamp_shootout/[/url]

I've used TI flats through the body on my P for years without a problem!

Not 100% sure the pickups are identical anyway - when I enquired with Yamaha about ordering some, not only were the part numbers different but the 2025 pickups were more expensive than the 1025's.

Try a set of Pyramid Golds or TI Flats. The Pyramids are thicker and mellower, sounds like they would fit the bill!

Looks a bit suspect to me? Round knobs like you get on a Squier, unusual headstock logo, no through body stringing, the bridge doesn't look like any I've seen before, with a screw in each corner?! Serial dates it mid 80s but I'm not very familiar with the basses of that period so who knows.

I'm a big fan of the Ampeg SVT210AV cabs with my Terror. The matching Micro VR head with two of those cabs will deliver the Ampeg tone on a budget as long as you don't need mega volume. Don't go for the cheaper Micro CL stack by the way, it's way underpowered. By the way, is this the Ampeg combo you have, the B100-R? I used to have one, soudned great.

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1370158168' post='2096961'] You might add a Genz Benz Streamliner 6 to your list [/quote] I had one before my OTB. I found I was always fighting the EQ and it wasn't very loud due it's built in limiter kicking in far too early. Supposedly 600W but the 500W Terror felt twice as loud at 1/4 volume than the Streamliner did cranked! I could play the Genz in my bedroom at full volume but not dared to take the Terror over 30%!

Yamaha's are pretty narrow compared to most. I had a Fender P5 but sold it as it was too wide at the nut, and settled down with a Yamaha BB415 which is only 42mm, the same as my Fender 4-string P!

Any reason to not just stick with the terror? You might have been unlucky with yours but in general they seem to be pretty reliable. Is it the reliability you're concerned with, not happy with the sound, or just fancy a change?

Somone bid!

I've gone from an Orange AD200B with a Matamp 2x12 down to a Terror Bass with an Ampeg SVT210AV. If/when I join a band again I'll add a second cab. I love the sound of these sealed cabs, and with two stacked on top of each other you'll hear yourself really well on stage with speakers right up by your ear and get great dispersion with all the drivers vertically aligned. Plus the cabs are cheap as chips and you can lift them with your little finger! Only downside is you'll need to make a foam platform for the head to sit on since the strap and countersunk cups get in the way of the amp's feet.

SFT!

I'll wait for the TRBBX which will be a mixture of RBX, TRB and BB...
