more Fender less Gibson with the swamp ash. I have a local guitar builder who can help me finish this the lack of finish. however i love the wood grain on korina and would probably do an oil finish no stain

Corey Y · #**462** 12-14-2012, 03:56 PM

Oil finish on that would look pretty nice. I would consider doing something like walnut with a Jazzmaster body too. My Drake Custom has a non-figured walnut front and back with an oil finish and it looks beautiful.

dunwichamps · #**463** 12-14-2012, 03:57 PM

yea on my baritone V it has oil finish on top of the walnut which looks sweet

Corey Y · #**464** 12-14-2012, 04:00 PM

That reminds me, I was talking to Andrew Drake before I went on vacation. I'm going to sell him some old Jatoba stock we have in our wood shop. He told me he recently switched to a new finish process, which he thinks will hold up better in the long run, and offered to redo my bass for free if I pay to ship it to him. Apparently me talking up my bass profusely has gotten him some good free advertising on here, which is cool. I think I may take him up on the offer.

Isn't Bob from Dropdead on guitar? I know Tinsel Teeth has female vox. Liz in Rozamov and Larissa in Heserki (black metal). We've never played Providence, but would really like to. I heard Dusk is pretty cool. Maybe there was a sticker of ours floating around somewhere?

Yeah it's like that depending on where you play. Yep Bob is on guitar in Lolita Black ( he plays in a couple of other bands also) Steph actually left Tinsel Teeth recently and is only doing In Heat right now. Dusk is pretty cool. Good peoples and good atmosphere in there. Haxen (black metal) also has Em playing bass. I know there is a ton of other local bands with females in them but I'm brain dead right now. We should try and set something up if you want to come down and play.

Only thing you should embarrassed about is gear that says Crate or Behringer

and no FoF you don't get a free pass!

Just bought Holy Mountain on vinyl.

I would like to release stuff on vinyl but be a weirdo about it like the Flaming Lips.

limited release of 10 copies made with the bands blood in it.

Limited release of clear vinyl with l.e.d's in it ( don't ask me how that would work but I'm sure it can be done with enough money)

One copy only of a 7" single packaged inside of my freeze dried dog once he dies

Well you guys get the idea.

Lol sorry had to say it. I need to listen to the bongripper stuff when I get home. I'll let you know what's more brutal, the music or the 2 and 3 year olds screaming bloody murder and painting their rooms with dookie.

I've seen some sh*t.

LOL! no worries, it's all in good fun. I don't have sand in my va-jay jay.

. The one time anything got under my skin was in my old grind band, I was watching the merch table and a guy from the one of the other bands we were playing with asked me who I was with. I told him who my band was and he shook his head and said, "so who you with in the band".

Cant wait to get home and buy the SWD.

Zing. But also yes. Bbm is a solid starter fuzz. Good quality for the price IMO.

Yes, I'm gathering up a nice little harem of lovely custom builders. Whip them pedals out and show em off Nick!

Haha whatever man! I didn't own it yet. I was watching a factory sealed European reissue on eBay. Was listed for $40, BIN $50. Figured I'd wait and snipe it for $40. Well 3 hours before it ended, someone did BIN. Dunno what the deal was, but it got relisted a couple hours later so I jumped on it.

Local store has a first pressing for $100. Tried to use the eBay auction to haggle with them but they weren't having it. Told them it would make a very cool wall decoration for the store.

take a listen, name your price. I'm really proud of how those sets turned out (unavoidable technical issues aside)

Holy crap, so heavy and awesome.

I'm really proud of how the live sets came out, the SWD full set I actually prefer to the album version, it's a little slower and I like the tones more.

The other set has a bunch of cool stuff going on, really stoked on how Hate Ashbury turned out especially the "quiet" part since we kind of just jammed on it for a few minutes and I think it came out pretty cool. Also helps that my tone was really gnarly for that whole set.

I like the sound on here a bit more than on the SWD album.

Will a CD version of this ever be available to buy?

Yeah, it's pretty horrifying. I don't understand people... why would anyone do something like this?

Ron Now · #**478** 12-14-2012, 05:09 PM

Thanks, 2CD set will be available in Feb - LP 2xLP of just the SWD set will be available on vinyl in April.

I once bought a behringer head when both mine were dead. 75 bucks in a pawnshop. The shame of buying it was only eclipsed by selling it at guitar center. They almost didnt buy it.

**DethByDoom** · #**480** 12-14-2012, 05:24 PM

I have a proposal. I have a couple gig thumb drive. Lets fill it with digital doom.

I send it to… let's say laz. He fills with mp3s. Send to some one else. Continue until drive is full and everyone's gotten to get some tasty new or old tunes.
