B:Assmaster Is All That It Can Be...and Germanium

Received this bad boy today - The GERM:

After 32 varieties, I think I finally found a fuzz I'll keep. The germanium is one badass pedal. No clips, because the ones on the Malekko site stand on their own!!

Hmmm, the only one I didn't get to try was the Depth Charge....

The Germs are nothing but pure awesome...hell, all three variants are pure awesome!!

Those are a clone of the Maestro Brassmaster right?

Saw one of these on eBay the other day for like $372 and bidding still going on. Would love to have one, but too rich for my blood right now...

So you don't feel alone...I have a First Act custom shop bass as well...it's the Delia hollowbody...seriously cool bass, but you have to defend yourself sometimes for playing one! Love that RD shaped one it appears you have...my A&R guy isn't there any longer, so it looks like I won't be getting another anytime soon

I was really hesitant on buying the Germanium model at first, but it's definitely warmer and richer sounding to me then the silicon model. The pedal is quiet with my active basses as well as the passive models and all the different amps I run it through it sounds so sweet. I just wish i would have bit the bullet up front when I started looking for fuzzes.

Seriously, if you're in doubt check out the clips:

Oh, I'm quite sure we'll see Jimmy resurface soon enough.

You can't keep a good man down!

(I assume we have that in common.)
