I set the gain to about 6 on the head and have the 2 channels blended at about half. The rat is set with the distortion @ 9 pm, filter at 7pm, and the volume at 4 pm. The sonic stomp is where all my low end comes back in. I've got that pedal dimed.

mike, is calling me a musician a good or bad thing???

lol, i said musicman, as in it looks like youre playing a 5 string stingray and mine sounded identical back when i had mine (4 string version). but it looks like youre a musician as well so it works out! haha

hahaha. Stoner/Doom Bassist Thread Part 8 - Your tone is exactly what I'd expect out of a musician.

So, a little of topic, but I know one of you guys has to have an opinion on this. A few years ago, a buddy introduces me to Botch. Sad to learn that they were no longer a band, I was excited to learn that Dave Verellen started Narrows. To me, they sound almost identical. If you handed me the Narrows record from 2009 and told me it was Botch back together, I would believe you. Now I haven't heard the latest record, but can anyone of you say that you definitively like one band over the other? To me Dave makes them what they are. Opinions welcomed.

There is an blatant clear cut winner here, and all because of one song: Botch - Rock Lobster (The B52's Cover) - YouTube

Apparently Karma to Burn dropped off that tour. We were trying to do a couple of the dates on our way out to Seattle but the dates don't line up at all.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Don't see anything on their website or the venue's website. Where did you hear that?

I emailed Wade a couple days ago about returning mine to have it fixed. Going to cost $75 to ship it back, I'm hoping he covers that.

I can't comment on this but I've always loved Botch. When they broke up their website simply stated, "We died for your sins". So many bands owe Botch for their existence. Whether they know it or not.

Plus the song titles are epic. "Afgamistam" still makes me laugh!

Hey guys I was wondering about those new neo speakers. I'm planning on getting 2 2x12's from Avatar and was wondering if anyone has tried those neo's.

I gotta stop reading posts about heavy music in other forum areas. I always end up writing something snarky (thankfully I usually delete before it gets too bad).

I love how other forumites like to take shots at us stoner/doom guys. I guess you have to be pretty popular for it to be OK to be made fun of.
