Well, two days ago I bought myself the Terror Bass and an Orange SP212 cab. I admit to being a little nervous about the SP212, but it got very loud at the store and sounded good so I thought I might as well give this gimmick a try or else remain forever curious. Yesterday I went to band practice...

FWIW, I used to play guitar with a band fairly regularly and I use a Tiny Terror head when I do; I've had it for a couple years and it's never failed on me once. I've pushed it to the max volume on occasion, played outside on hot summer days, done a couple gigs where we played more than an hour...

I always use earplugs when I play with full band. We used to just play quieter at practice, but I find it helps to practice at gigging conditions. When setting up tone and sound checking, no one has earplugs in, though. We always set up our sound before we play, often doing one song or...

I replayed the Walkabout Scout 112 combo and played an Ampeg SVT-7Pro through (if I'm remembering this right) an Ampeg SVT-410HLF. The 410HLF has a horn - that's the same thing as a tweeter, right? I admit to being completely ignorant, never had to worry about this with guitar speaker...

You have me right, Jared, I do in fact want a switchable fuzz, although the clean doesn't have to be pristine necessarily. (So a growling amp is fine if it will make an awesome fuzz tone when I use a fuzz or overdrive into it.) I'm going to hit up Sam Ash and GC again tomorrow and pretty much...

Equipment: The only bass equipment I really have is my bass, a Fender MIM Deluxe Active Jazz. Borrow pretty much everything else right now. On to my actual post: Basically, I'm not sure what helps or hurts the tone for a fuzz bass. The sound my band is shooting for is a kind of low-fi...

Thanks, that's what I expected to hear - just wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing!

I hope this is a stupid question with an easy answer... Lots of people around here talk about using a DI for the bass - and DI that's pre-everything! So how do you do a fuzz bass over that, or can you? I'm a complete newbie when it comes to bass. I've played guitar for years and always...
