El grande bass fuzz on active bass?!

[blister179]

Hi im thinking about getting an el grande bass fuzz! im going to try it out in a fortnight against the bass big muff, however ive got an active bass thats 6 string which i use in my band. Will the el grande be to wild on the active? im getting a re issue 70s jazz bass soon which is passive but 4 string and i cant choose which bass im going to use in the band lol ( my gtarist uses drop D), obviously the fuzz will be better on the jazz bass but im just wondering will it work on the 6 string? Ive got an ashdown 4x10 and a MAG 300 head, hope it doesnt peak out all the time.. Please give any advice!

Thanks!

The Bass Big Muff offers a huge amount of tones from light fuzz to full on fuzz. The toggle switch also offers three different voicing. The El Grande Fuzz is only usable to 9 AM or 10 AM passed that it's just too wild. If the El Grande has the tone you are looking for it's great but the Muff offers a lot more versatitliy.
Also take a look at the Grey Stache; it's like a Muff on testosterone!

Yes you can. AFAIK they don't seem to have any issues with active instruments that I have heard of.
