Stoner/Doom Bassist thread Pt. 46: In Soviet Russia Bass Plays You

[Niff]

played a ****ing awesome gig tonight. wall of amps, tiny venue, guitarist stranded on the floor with me & drummer only just fitting on stage with all the amps & bass rig pedals next to us. packed out a 100 person venue at 10pm, good turnout - unfortunately the previous and following bands only got ~20. . even got asked to play some Slayer.. that doesn't happen every day.

finalised the decision to make my cassette label a real thing. any southern hemisphere fellows (or anyone who wants to pay shipping on comparatively expensive tapes, lolol) who want a small-run cassette release some time over the next year, pretty please let me know - i will be able to make it happen in a few months.

Well ****. Around 11 last night my furnace stopped putting out heat. It's like 40 degrees in my house right now.

that sucks man, had that happen to me the first winter when we bought our house. we turned on the oven and left the oven door open and sat around the kitchen for a week until the furnace was replaced.

[ampegfuzz]

I had that happen twice in my house last 2 winters

[Lazarus.Bird]

From google it sounds like it's a limiter switch, but the furnace is so old all the markings are rubbed off and I don't know anything about HVAC so I have no idea how to fix it =P Someone is supposed to be here in a few hours hopefully.

Furnace lazzed?


Alrite no more jokes. Hope your ok

[change-jug]

Sorry to hear you`re freezing your sack off Laz! Crank that oven and try to keep warm!

I`ve got a buddy and his friend coming over right now for our first attempt at playing some music together. Should be fun!!

So my first week in the US is now over. San Francisco is really cool, even though I didn't have much time to visit as the conference talks lasted up until 6 pm and because I was a real zombie after 10 pm due to the jetlag. And people seem really friendly
But it's also really weird to have big financial districts full of rich people just a block away from deserted zones full of homeless people...
Now I'm off to Boston, if the snow storm allows me :/

On a musical note, I thought there would be more music instruments store here, maybe I just didn't see them. But it's really great that people can just plug in in the streets and start playing ! And Amoeba looked like heaven on earth

[Lazarus.Bird]

Furnace definitely Lazzed me. Whole thing needs replaced. At least I rent, but this is gonna be a cold weekend.

SF is a pretty great, but mildly bizarre place. My wife and I were there in August -It was here first time there and it was completely unsettling for her to see how much crazy, homeless tweakers there are on the streets.

Unfortunately I didn't find many stores, either, in the area we were staying. Probably could've found some gems.

Beebass.

If I were to set them up all together it would be Moog > Timeline on the floor via pedalboards. Then space echo sits ontop of my amp and operated via a footswitch.

When it rains it pours. One of our guitarists is in the ER for an emergency appendectomy and we had a gig scheduled tonight Hope everything goes ok. He's such a nice dude.

Good luck getting here, we got 2 feet of snow or so (that's about 60 CM for you Euros). Logan Airport is closed.

Do not do that. That's how people die from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Get space heaters. Put them on hard surfaces(not carpet or rugs) in area where they won't be knocked over. Never leave them unattended while running.

Don't use a million candles either.

Fireplaces are the safest and best heat source other than a furnace. When's the last time you had your chimney cleaned?

Wouldn't hurt to get a fire extinguisher if/when you go buy heaters.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Lol yeah I got a gas oven and I have no intentions of using it to heat the house. Guy came by and said the whole thing is shot. The house is pretty old. Hot water heater and AC unit are both relatively new but the furnace is old as hell. Looks like the inside is just burning away lol.

Every time I go on a safety tangent a remember this...

Welcome to teh suck! Your furnace LAZZED you!

That **** happened to me a few years ago coming back to a winter wonderland in Seattle from Florida. There was ice on the roads, snow everywhere else, was snowing, I get inside, can see my breath, and the furnace would not turn on... I trudged up the hill, bought a small shoebox sized space heater, plugged the electrical life-ender in, closed door to bedroom, climbed into zero-degree sleeping bag on bed, and dealt with it. It took them over two weeks to get it so once the furnace was finally on, to stay on once it hit the desired thermostat temp. It would simply cut off and not come back on. I would wake up to 30 degree apartment.

I was thinking about some random youtube jam I listened to well over a year ago with some guitarist and drummer jamming doom. The guitar sounds very Pike influenced and awesome. The guitarist aslo plays lefty, with a righty guitar upside down to that the E string is on the bottom. The guitarist also kills despite missing part of his left hand due to defect. Awesome.
