Anyone know the difference between the Xotic BB Preamp and Bass BB Preamp? I'm possibly fixin to maybe build one. However, the only schematic I can get my hand on is for the BB, not the Bass BB.

Thanks for the responses. I'm more looking for differences in capacitor/resistor values etc. I figured that its essentially the same design with a few tweaks here and there.
Does anyone have a gutshot of the Bass BB?

I built one myself, and I heard here and there that the Treble tonestack has different values of the caps (can't remember..have to look when I'm home). Also, four diodes are used in pairs as opposed to just two.
Found the answer!
"To make the Glitterratti (BB Preamp Clone) more bass friendly, try the following: increase C1
to 220n, C10 and C11 to 68n and C7, C12 to 10n."

FWIW...
From Xotic:
"The amount of the distortion and the affected frequencies are different. The bass model is a bit brighter and less mid than the guitar model."
"The bass peak Q is 100hz and the treble is 5khz. The guitar version has the same bass response but the treble is at 10khz."
