I've not tried that many filters, but the WMD Fatman is certainly what I'd describe as deep and throaty, along with the Chicago Iron Parachute or Wilson Freaker wah pedals if you're not just limited to envelope filters. Heard god things about the Guyatone BR-3 Bottom Wah Rocker too, they did some re-issues recently too due to demand from all the Tool fanboys!

After a year or two playing with myself, I'm now gigging once again. Haven't posted for a while, but here's what I'm currently rocking: Wilson Freaker Wah -> Korg Pitchblack -> Xotic Bass BB -> SFX S&M with Bass Big Muff in the loop -> SFX X&M with Carbon Copy and Small Stone in the high channel I had to pick up the S&M to blend the Bass Big Muff since EHX screwed up and made it so you can only mix in your wet signal with 100% dry level on the blended mode, which gives too much volume. But I need it as I haven't managed to find a better combination than my BB415 with both pickups on into the BB into the blended BBM! Such a doomy crunchy tone yet with plenty of clarity, since it's effectively a light overdrive and boosted fuzz in parallel. The Freaker is a smaller cheaper more adjustable replacement for the Parachute wah that I have up for sale (will get around to eBay-ing it one day). It sounds evil going into the fuzz! The X&M is there so I can just add delay and phaser to the midrange and treble, although I mainly use these for freakout oscillation noises, adjusting the pitch with my big toe whilst playing bass.

The SFX is great for a Muse sound. If you want to borrow mine I wouldn't mind a temporary swap with your DHA fuzz!

New gigs added!

I have one also, great amp, but unlike it's bigger brother the AD200 it doesn't sound too great at high gain. For a motown sound I still prefer to add fur with a Catalinbread SFT pedal rather than rely on the tube pre alone though.

The Xotic Bass BB Preamp sounds pretty similar, but with more low end on tap thanks to the EQ and a much smaller footprint!

I haven't played live for a while since I left my last band a couple of years ago, but this Saturday I will be standing in on bass for Crybaby Deathmatch! Stoner / Doom is the genre, in the vein of Kyuss, Clutch, Acrimony, Shrinebuilder, etc. We'll see how it goes but I may end up joining them officially since I'm really enjoying playing with them! If any of you fancy coming down let me know and I can put your names down for cheaper entry - no free guestlists unfortunately since we're pretty much nobodies! UPDATE: Forgot to check back at this thread, will subscribe to auto updates from now on! Just updating it rather than starting a new one... The first gig went well, now we have 2 more lined up before the end of the year! The Anam Bar one is free as far as I know, the Rhythm Factory might be a few quid to get in, to be confirmed.

I played through an Orange AD200 full stack yesterday at Rooz rehearsal studios. It sounded bloody damn good, the Terror pales in comparison. I'd love to upgrade also!

I know Chris doesn't use one, but the sfx Micro Fuzz is a great alternative to the muff for Muse type sounds. Tons more low end and a synthy edge when set to high gain. If you want one small pedal that will get you in the ballpark for Time Is Running Out, Starlight, etc it's definitely worth checking out. Unlike most fuzzes, it retains the DEEP lows that hit you in the chest!

I play an Orange Terror through a Trace 1153, which I picked up used for £100. I got it for a cheap cab to tide me over until I found something better, but I've fallen in love with it. I was going to trade for an Orange OBC115, but the Orange sounded way too muffled - the Trace is way growlier, loads more top end and not a tweeter in sight. Only drawback is it's rated for 250W (although I've heard it can go much louder than that), but I'll just buy a second one if I need more volume!

Try an Ibanez ATK305, awesome bass and you'll have plenty of change left over!

The Gretsch Jet Baritone is worth a look too, although more expensive than the Dano. I bet the Dano would sound a lot twangier with it's single coils though.

I've not tried the TC heads, but I'm really loving what the Catalinbread SFT can do to Motownify your tone: I go P-Bass + Flats -> SFT -> Orange Terror -> Trace Elliot 1153 and get a great motown tone. A bit of foam would help even more, so PM sent to the Grand Wazoo!

I like the [sfx] Micro Fuzz for heavy synthy Muse like fuzz. It's great for Uprising, and has more low end boom than any fuzz I've ever tried.

^ Looks like he's playing guitar hero!
