Just got back from my local super flea(market). I was looking around for some cheap Led Zep albums,which I didn`t find. I did find a Kustom 250-4 bass head. It looks kinda cool and has a fuzz effect(and more) built into the head. If I needed a back up head I might want it.

Congrats on the Mesa412 Sam!

I wonder if I could convince my drummer to do a side doom sludge project with just the two us.... I think we could pull it off.

Alright I really need to clean here, guests in 3 and a half hours. Still have to lug a pa upstairs and clean up all this cereal and crap up the kids keep putting everywhere lol. I don't wanna.

I would need a new car to transport it all. but i'm going to try it at practice for sure. going to need a series parallel box though because the matamp won't do 2 ohms.

So thats the good news. the bad news...found out my dog has cancer

. going to see a specialist on Wed and go over options.

Zoo Music was pretty cool. Played with a few pedals from a company called Black Box based outta Dallas. The first couple were pretty meh, but there was a fuzz called an Ultraviolet that just crushed. Great low end and fully tweakable. It sounded so f*cking good. A little out of my price range at $250. So I opted for an MXR Carbon Copy after toying with it for a bit. Sweet delay.

mc_muench · #**527** 12-15-2012, 02:05 PM

people have run the walkabouts safely at 2 ohms, micro head with 2 full sized fridges, haha.

Sorry about the dog. My pooch (German Wire Hair pointer) has epilepsy, though not as bad as cancer, its tough to see him siezure. He hasnt had one in almost two years with his "new" meds.

Murphy looks exaclty like this dog. Not my video or dog, or owl...

Damn, sorry to hear... what breed? Lost a golden retriever before he even turned 2 to hip cancer. Goldens are susceptible to it.

Yeah the WA should be no problem but matamp do not recommend it with the GT200.

She is a 7 year old Basset Hound. the good thing is it is pretty early and has not spread. she has one tumor on her thyroid.

Sorry to hear about your dog Sam! That`s really sh!tty news to have to take in and deal with. Hopefully some surgery will take care of it and your dog will be up and running in no time.
Way back when,my dog had a swollen leg so we took him in to get checked out. Turned out he had a tumor that was causing the swelling. The vet gave him a month to live and some doggy pain meds to help him out.
Whatever the vet gave us wasn`t working too well on my dog. So for the last 6 weeks of his furry life I was giving him hydrocodone and oxycodone in his Snausages.

I dig it alot and spent alot of time with it before I made my decision. But god damn, that ultraviolet fuzz is still on my mind. Might have to get my mother in law get it for me when I'm back in Washington.

**LOCOPELAND** · #**533** 12-15-2012, 02:42 PM

Sorry to hear about your pooch, Sam.

That stuff is never easy.

Good luck man.

Good news! My SVT-VR is in the hands of the local cab builder. He starts the new shell on Monday.

He said the build quality was pretty shoddy and wasn't surprised it broke. This new one should be indestructible. I think he's going to take pictures along the way, so I'll post 'em here.

I'm sorry to hear that, man. Recently the vet told us Roxy (my boxer) is at that stage in her life where her liver is shutting down. When my mom told me, I ****ing bawled. She's 12 and has had an amazing life. Anyone who knows myself or my family would agree. She's not really showing any signs of the inevtiable, so we'll just continue to baby the **** out of her.

She is, without a doubt, the most spoiled dog I've ever met. She sleeps on a leather couch with her own comforter. If she gets cold, she gets under it. She has three dog beds and sleeps in the beds with us. We've babied her so much we don't even have to use a leash to walk her. She stays by our side.

I'm afraid this might be her last Christmas with us. Christmas is hard enough when I see my old cat's stocking (yeah, our animals get stockings). When I try to bring the stockings out, I just break down and cry. My mom has to get them out now.

I'm such a pussy when it comes to animals.

This sounds exactly like my Boxer. She's gonna be 6 in February and she's the most amazing, loyal and spoiled dog I've ever owned. I've had her since she was about a year and a half old...got her for free from a gal from Craigslist. One of the best decisions I've ever made in my lifetime. I don't know what my family would do without her. She is incredible.

Thanks guys. hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

Josh Pelican · #**539** 12-15-2012, 04:01 PM

On a more positive note, I've randomly had a burst of inspiration and have a bunch of riffs in my head. I might work on some doom/stoner riffs and see if I can come up with a song or two.

I think I might do it all in C standard. Maybe C#.

HydrasBreath · #**540** 12-15-2012, 04:20 PM

Been away for awhile.

My Orange AD200B came in last week. Thing is sick. Love the tones I'm getting out of it. I litteraly can't make it sound bad no matter how I EQ it. The natural OD on this this is so awesome and creamy. I've definitely found my stoner sound with this thing.

It's currently sitting on top of my SVT-VR which is on top of an 810 fridge. My brother dubbed it the "tower of power" haha.

I'll probably get some OBC 15s eventually but they aren't shipping any Orange stuff to my local music shop till like February so it'll give me a chance to save up my pennies.
