Mmm, that tremolo looks interesting... I'll be surprised if they don't follow this through, the standard 'Foogers have always been slightly prohibitive in price and size terms!

Get a Turbo Rat. One of the older ones.

Ooh, good god, please DO NOT base your experience on the Bass Big Muff! There are so many better muff-based fuzzes out there... Chris Wolstenholme actually uses the black Russian big muffs (not the BBM), and I think he has about four V8 second-editions. Not modded to my knowledge, he just uses them with the Boss LS-2 in a bi-amp fashion so he's always got a nice healthy "pure" bass signal running underneath. He also uses his Animato in this way, sometimes combined with the Muff to bring the ceiling down!... This crazy American dude seems to have a slightly unhealthy obsession with recreating Chris W's sound, worth a watch though!

Thanks for your help chaps! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Well I tried the Moog last night and all seems fine! Relief...[/size] [size=4]It is bizarre that it worked with that adaptor though, came on with the green light as normal...Perhaps would have realised quicker if it hadn't! Slightly worried that I may have weakened some components but like you say Shep, I'm sure I would've know about it if something had been damaged![/size]

[quote name='Fizzer' timestamp='1380009580' post='2219310'] ID: I was really overwhelmed by the Pi at first, getting it to sit in the mix nicely is quite hard. However dialing in 'sustain' with your foot whilst playing is pretty entertaining. [/quote] Assuming you've got an NYC Big Muff (correct me if I'm wrong!), the main issue is that the tone stack scoops the mid-range out of the sound, leaving treble and bass. Fine if you're playing on your own, but your fuzz bass will dissappear if you put loud distorted guitarists into the equation!...The Russian BMs have a more useful range for bass, or even better get one of the reliable BM clones out there (COG Effects, Fuzzrocious, etc...) with a mids control. This will allow you to bring those valuable mids back in, and cut through the mix with aplomb! :-)

Yeah. I think the BDDI is more versatile than just an overdrive pedal, but the VT is a lot better as an overdrive pedal (if that makes any sense!...).

Quick question for those of you in the know. Had a gig last night and was in a bit of a rush to get set up, plugged the pedal power supplies in and stuck what I thought was the correct one into my Moog LPF. The lights came on on the pedal, I started doing something else, then noticed about 30 seconds later that I'd actually plugged the Whammy psu into the Moog! The Whammy psu is 9v AC, whereas the Moog's 9v DC. Also, I think they use a different polarity. The Moog seemed to work fine for the gig, but I was just wondering whether there's any potential that I could have done any damage to the pedal?... Any thoughts, comments, etc would be appreciated!

The current (and final!) setup!

Tech 21 VT Bass or Catalinbread SFT, if you're looking for Ampeg grit. I've got a Boss CS-2 for compression, if you can find one cheap I'd well recommend it! (N.B. The Boss CS-3 is not the same, and is not good on bass!...).

I think Steve Lawson may be doing exactly what you're describing here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=e8Z_C_5s69w#t=126

I have no idea why anyone would want to mimic the Bass Blogger...

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1378114164' post='2195794'] His live sound after evil empire is really crap though. Not heard a live set where it sounds anything like the recording. [/quote] Defo agree with this, saw them at Finsbury Park a couple of years back (where he was using a Lakland JO interestingly...) and his sound was poor! Wooly and absolutely no definition... Some people have uploaded the solo bass tracks to youtube for a couple of tunes, taken from Guitar Hero I believe...Well worth a listen!
