+1. If it hurts you're probably playing too hard and heavy, like I do. Sure it sounds great to attack your bass with the force of a thousand suns but taking it easy with some good strings and some dirt/compression will give you speed and the sound you're looking for. Working on dynamics is my current mission... once I'm done moving of course.

The E string doesn't feel too loose and I find the setup to be fine.

In fact I can play it right, but not long enough on certain songs without feeling my arm starting to cramp. Guess I'll just keep practicing !

I just find a lot of guys in my town mess with different tunings and never move on to different gauge strings. I hear them live and think to myself "man his tone would be better and cleaner if he wasing down tuning that .100 to B..."

As for the live in the room recording. We did that with the great barrier reefer (obviously since we made up 90% of the record on the spot). We also did it for sections of Hippie Killer and Hate Ashbury and then doing solo overdubs and such. The last few things we've recorded have been tracked seperately with scratch tracks. We might end up just doing a combo of live room and overdubs. See how it goes...we still have another half of a record to write before that happens though.

Morning everybody. They've been discussed here before, but damn Nomeansno is hitting the spot this morning. Best. Rhythm. Section. Ever.

Just the other day I had a thought about tracking an album live and multitracked and blending the tracks. There would have to be a lot of homework to get everything to gel well but I think it would be a fun experiment.

I can see the multitrack'd part for a fast riff and then slowly blending in the live band tracks for an epic build up. Etc.

You get the point.

I know, but considering the stickers on the case I (and probably you, laz, and FoF) probably will know the person, all my CL deals end up that way hahaha and could probably talk him down with cash.

swspiers · #**411** 01-10-2013, 08:22 AM

Alright, off to my second interview so I too can complain about work. (actually, the work I do is pretty cool)

but still, it will get in the way of doomage

father of fires · #**412** 01-10-2013, 08:28 AM

I like my job a lot. I just need to find my groove. My transistion to government has been quite bumpy.

I do have one complaint. Who decided that women's professional attire can be so f'n casual. I swear this one lady wears black jeans and crocks and no one says ****!!!

I have to squeeze my fat ass into a tie.

JoeVictim · #**413** 01-10-2013, 08:32 AM

Best thing about my job is as long as you can would be accepted as a customer at 7-11 (shirt/shoes), You can pretty much wear whatever to work. But, being in a very Christian area, it can't be offensive (Which are most doom graphics. Could never wear a bongripper shirt here)

This pisses me off too. Our office is "business casual" So for me its dress shoes, pants, shirt and tie. For the women its what ever the heck they want. Flip flops, tights, and a tunic dress? sure fine... I loosen my tie and the manager pulls me aside to remind me of the code of conduct I signed. We get a jeans day, all the women wear "fashionably worn" jeans, my jeans with the tiniest bit of wear are unacceptable, and I still have to wear that damn collard shirt.

Working for a liberal university is where it's at. I can walk around barefoot wearing shorts and a metal t-shirt if I want haha.

Replace eyehategod with Black Pyramid and that's what I'm wearing today

Yeah, business casual was a dress code invented before women were allowed to work (me thinks).

It was the same thing at the financial center I worked at back in Florida. Collar shirt and tie suck when the weather is 98 F and the hummidity is like 90%. Shoot me in the head. And then of course the ladies get to wear pretty much whatever. Kinda lame in that respect. Although, If I had to bleed between my legs and get all bloated once a month, I would want to be as comfortable as possible...

At the Home Depot call center I worked at, one dude would wear a kilt to work...not fair!

father of fires · #**418** 01-10-2013, 09:00 AM

I just want clothes that I can wear at work and home. Maybe if I had more comfortable work clothes I wouldn't rush home and put on shorts and a hoodie.

Ancient Tone · #**419** 01-10-2013, 09:02 AM

I get to wear all black

black shoes, black cargo dickies, dark navy blue company supplied shirt (okay its not black but its completely covered by the next article of clothing), black hoodie with no logo's and a black logoless hat. Gotta love a job that lets you dress metal, its also a plus that my boss goes to more metal shows then i do.

I never wear my work clothes anywhere but work.
