No that pic was snapped the first time that I had the Supercollider playing through my big rig and I was messin around with it. I do keep the mid and tone pretty far down and I dont run the gain all the way up like in that pic.

Well I dont use it for my balls to the wall fuzz.
Got the Green Stache for that.
not necessarily. i cant vouch for either as i have not touched either.
bbm is cheaper and more readily accessible.
I bet people who own these will help you out
I actually like to use an EHX BassBalls with a Fender Jazz for my DOOM/Stoner sound with just a hint of breakup. Keeps the bass sounding like a bass, but with a unique element to it. Its almost like a "squishy" tone if you ask me and sounds AWESOME! Just gotta keep the settings kinda low and use a hard attack.
i got my inspiration form Sleep's Dragonaut. I think Al used one for his tone in that song but Im not 100%

may be so, I really dont know. The bass balls can sound inda wahish though. Iunno an, its just something I like a lot. Get a nice pasive bass, roll back the tone, and engage the bassballs with low settings and youre "there"
I just got a bassballs myslelf and im likin it alot. I use it in a loop of my LS-2 to make it more subtle.
My doom stoner board has downsized alot. Mainly because we are doing lots of out of town shows and taking the PT pro was gettin hard.
Ditched my Supercollider all together
The Alien Hate Fuzz > Green Stache is the only fuzz tone that I need (brutal fuzz).

Are you a Atomic Bitchwax fan? Their bass players uses a Bassballs on their albums.
I'm glad you guys are catching on to the Bassballs. It's a great effect for this kind of music, since it makes your lines just that little bit trippier.
I got a Tech 21 XXL B.
My Holy Grail has been found. The Distortion I was questing for has been found.

Yes I am in fact my decision was finalized when you posted the youtube of Atomic Bitchwax. Its a great pedal to add some trippiness when the g****rs go clean.

i ditched my supercollider also, right now i'm using the watson superfuzz clone, b:assmaster and stone machine and the ultra-lord for my fuzz/octave needs. i have a minge box coming soon and i will get a ehx bass big muff in the future.
i need to hear clips of the alien hate fuzz and the green stache
Can't believe i missed this thread...
Current Board:
Ibanez Weeping Demon, Vodoo lab Srarkle Drive, Boomstick Bottom Feeder, Bass Big Muff, Radial Big Shot looper, Boss OC-3, Digitech Multi Chorus...on the otherside Sansamp DI and a Devi Ever Dark Boost
My board is run into a stereo rig....
the 4 x 10 gets the dirty effects the 15" gets run clean thus preserving the low end....the Hartke's have been modded via a few circut tweeks and swapping out the stock tubes in the pre's for grittier hotter ones. I also have a RBI and RPM that get switched out in the rack depending on my mood....I may actually ditch the DI soon and leave both Pre's in the rack and patch a Devi Ever Godzilla into the mix, but I'm still on the fence on this one...I designed and built the cabs myself the 4 x 10 is very upper midrange oriented (sealed) and the 15 is dual ported in the back....
and this is my current main squeeze as it does passive and active both via a cute little toggle switch
sometimes i switch it our for a B.C. Rich Mockinbird NJ (circa 1984), or my ESP F series....

My rig may soon sprout a delay pedal. Although it currently has a Jeff Bridges action figure standing guard over it. That's pretty metal, right?
I know aint it cool? (the toggle switch i mean) that is what my wife calls it anyway...cute
yea i have been absent from the board...lots of band drama...after spending close to $500.00 and many hours in the studio ($50.00 an hour discount given to me by a bud and fellow bass player that has a studio) my guitard decided he could not get along with our singer and ditched us for a speed metal project....still unsure if we are going to replace him or not 9as it means i get to play more complex lines), and i have been busy re-writing and re-working bass lines and using more fuzz and distortion to cover rhythm tracks.....been busy
I have posted here and there just haven't had the time i normally do lately....wrote two new songs today with the remaining guitard.....which my wife says the bass line sounds like Tool....so i'm guessing that's a compliment....and after re-reading this post it is apparent i have been awake far too long this weekend that or one to many pints of Beamish...lol
