Best muff/muff variant for bass?

[thesameage]

Oft discussed, I know. Any new thoughts or opinions? Variants that haven't been discussed for bass? Anyone try the ultrastoner? Musket?

I like my pharaoh a lot... but I'm always looking.

Green Russian is my favorite for bass.

Why the op amp muff? What works for you with that?

Its not as scooped (not as important if you have mids control), has a lower noise floor (important to me), it seems louder and clearer on bass, and it takes well to the blend circuit (schooner).

Civil war muff, with tone bypass switch gets my vote for bass.
Thick and wooly, heap of low end, and the tone bypass gives a bit of mid-range bite.

I've built the King of Muffs version that pryde came up with:   http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=12012.msg108432#msg108432, and I imagine that would work for bass guitars as well since the cap values are generally larger than other versions. It is seriously the best Big Muff I've ever tried...extremely versatile. Lots of low end. I also modded it a little further by adding the "contour" control from juansolo's Big Muff spreadsheet: http://stompage.juansolo.co.uk/Muffs.htm. This thing does everything from overdrive to fuzz now.
