Since there is no objective scale for me easily use here, I'll say... pretty scooped. That said, in 'dry mode' where you have clean signal passing through... that signal isn't scooped at all!

- I like 5, 8, 10, and 12 string basses
hmm, okay. cause I really have started to love mids. But I did like the Little Big Muff, it was just too messy for me. Is the BBM a bit more..."controlled" than the LBM? I just found that the LBM was hard to find a reason to have it.
My attempt at a Fuzz Face clone with blend: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7293050
Here's the circuit with out the blend, but voiced for bass for comparison: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7273091
I'm calling it the Bass Face. Hopefully that name is not already taken. The blend could use some tweaking. It definitely sounds better coming out of amp.

I had an idea like that once, even to the name. But I lost it, and you actully made yours, so you win

If you're only running one in and one out, it seems that it would still be the same result as using something like an X-blender. Cheaper though, as mentioned

The difference being that is blending 1 parallel path at a time. That is what all the blenders do these days.
The Zoom Ultra Fuzz is a good solution, only found second hand now, but it's a great pedal, with very versatile tonal options and a blend control for zero loss of low end.
I've also got a Bass Big Muff and I think they're both great pedals, you'd be happy with either, but without an external blending solution for complete control over the Wet and Dry outputs of the BBM, the Ultra Fuzz is easier to use in my opinion.

Cheap cheap cheap: Arion Bass Distortion (cool name, eh?) I got one on ebay for 15 bucks -- basic fuzz/distortion with separate clean and distortion volume controls -- it's...well, nice. Basic...but I hear a lot of more expensive stuff that hits me flat too.
I also built one of these:

And it's incredibly useful! I have to rehouse mine...and build a few more hahaha...but I've used all kinds of crazy stuff with that, and it really works out fantastic. Not extremely hard to build, either. I really like it with the Dano Fab Tones which are, however, very over-the-top.
cheers!

Oh word I totally forgot. mix the sansamp with an mxr elgrande bass fuzz. that way i get a blend control. (you put the distortion after the sans)[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
