Is that a credit to the warehouse, or the picture?

And I approve, Bongo.

I've been wondering this as well - when you find out which one's good - let the rest of us know. But as Grizzey says" start with bassfuzz.com it all there!!

It pays to say it once in a while.

Taste is, always has been, and always will be, unique to you. While you may find that you agree with someone on a tone you like once in a while, there is no way that anyone else can say with certainty what you are going to like.

Compare it to asking what the best food is. Sure, maybe you know what your favorite food is, but do you know it's going to be someone else's favorite food? No, there is no way to know. You can only suggest foods to try, and, as with that, there are so many fuzzes on the market today that the best way to find out what the best one to you is, is to try some out for yourself. Your ears will tell you much more accurately than any of us can.

By the way, the Blackout Effectors Musket is killer. I've been playing it through my new Berg 210 (as well as my worn-in HT112) and that combo really shines. The fuzz sounds killer. especially at nearly 700 watts.

As far as "best bass fuzz" goes I think you need to go though about five or more to really get a idea of what you want and like and then go from there, IMOP.

Why would you want to fuzz up your bass anyway?
