Heaviest/clearest bass fuzz that jives with Ampeg

Post by bdunlap »

Well, recently I bought an Ampeg SVT head & cab, and before I was using the Soda Meiser for my fuzz needs. But, it sounds incredibly thin and bassless through my new setup (bass is a mim p-bass also). Anyone have any recommendations for a heavy bass fuzz that has a lot of bass to it and good note definition?

I have an Ampeg combo, and the Fuzzhugger Bass Bloom sounded GRRREEEAAATTT through it. I know it's not the same as a head and cab, but still. The clean blend is super luscious... killed my Wren & Cuff PIckle Pie B. Anyway, the BB was killer enough for me to have Tom build me one FER SHER.

All of the above recommendations are solid.
I would also add the Mountainking stuff to that list.

Black Cat Bass Octave Fuzz. Love this thing; wish I had more gig opportunities to use it.

Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler is amazing on a passive bass into a big tube amp. I'm using a 150w 60s Traynor into a 2x15 (so similar to an Ampeg but not the same) and a Jazz bass and I love the Frazz with it. Sorry to overpost my video here, but I really think it will help you with what you're going for. This is Jazz bass with flats, into Frazz, into big tube bass amp on the choruses :

The big thing is that the Frazz NEVER feels thin with a bass. It's always so rough tough and thick and you can hear every note clearly.
