Yeah I do! Sold him a black p-bass a couple years ago and I sold him a prototype wooly mammoth clone. The pedal wasn't in good shape but I was moving at the time and he really wanted one.

I just got sick of arguing with students about their grades, especially when they dont go to class or turn half the assignment in.

Yes and no, looks like the ratfur version of mine. Mine has a 1502-4 which is really strong in the low mids, and goes in to breakup just crazy good. Been hard for me to find a second, being 4 ohm. Great for 2 ohm heads, but it ain't magic so your gonna need at least 2 to get any sort of volume.

The first week I had mine the voice coil got frozen in place but Peavey repaired it free, been flawless the 10 years since. I'd pick it up in a heartbeat for less than $150. Don't know about your kiwi-bucks but that seems like alot of money.

I know we're planning on going with a bunch of family and their kids in October.

That was my thought. The only ride that neither park will have anymore, and I will miss dearly, is the Carousel of tomorrow. We found out after we went to Magic Kingdom that it was the last season it waws going to be open and I missed it... Damn. That ride brings back memories of since dead relatives, mainly my dad. Hard to believe it will be 16 years this December.

Wrote a new riff, chorus and vocal harmony. Need to add a few more parts with some concrete lyrics, and we got over an hour!

Less of a chance of running into exgirlfriends/mortal enemies in Cali, so there is that to think about too. Don't get me wrong, I like Disney World, but it does seem like a ton of walking. I read an article online that says Disneyland is about 7 miles a day where DW is 12-14 dependig on what park. Cali has all the MK rides I like. But I will miss that drive in diner place in Hollywood Studios. The veggie shepard's pie is KILLER!

Morning everybody. Sorry I missed the trolling, I was about to hit the ignore button.

Spend the weekend recording! My boss has a basement studio that rivals 90% of the pro studios out there. He hoards gear like no one I've ever seen. 9 WORKING TAPE MACHINES.

Anyway, drummer and I went over there saturday night and set up the drums, got them mic'd and sounding good. Then we spent 11 hours there yesterday and managed to cut bass and drum tracks for all 7 songs. We're recording to pro tools with a 2" tape backup/2nd copy.

We wanted to track live, but our schedules are all over the place so we have to do it once piece at a time. I'm tired, but the tones are sounding really good and we're going to have killer record when we're done.

Alright, off to work.

8 string clips please, so jonesin for an 8er. Been living vicariously through my mxr octave fuzz. I think octaves are my favorite pedals!!!

Ah the joys of living in the city, someone's stealing me and my downstair's neighbor's packages. Time to set up some motion-sensing night vision cameras and dole out some vigilante justice before they get anything else... my addiction to Amazon is too strong.

Sit and eat place overlooking reserve animals, giraffes, gazelles, etc. Anyways, we did like one thing, went to reservation (lucky my wife stayed behind that day with baby, made things easier for me), but reservations took forever. Bus to restaraunt. Packed. Messed up order = 3 hours. Got back at 3. Did 3-5. sucked... See, I like Magic Kingdom better. I would have did that 3 days and Hollywood Studios 1 day. Next time you are in Florida, do Busch Gardens. Same animals as Animal Kingdom, better rides. They offer a private safari for like 30 extra a person (last time we went). Do it. Worth it. Best time to go is Octoberish. They have a Halloween thing and the day time is not as hot. So Disneyland = Magic Kingdom, but closer. I'll miss Hollywood Studios, but they got Star Wars!

OK, Doom On!

I lived in Flowida for 4 years, about an hour east of Disney. Loved Universal CIty Walk. But sounds like you all dig animals, if you all make it down to Florida, think of driving a bit more south to Lion Country Safari, that is a cheap and a blast to park your car right in front of a Giraffe. Also any doomers make it to the Richmond area and want a free mini zoo tour, come to my house, my girlfriend and I currently own close to 100 small exotics and a 5 year old boy that wants to be in a shoegazer band lol, loves to turn off and on pedals while I play, I need to male a vid it is a trip!!! Sorry I get stoked when I hear animal love!!!

The only thing I agree with radical Muslims, thieves should have their hands cut off!!!

Well our city cops are useless, so its pretty much up to me to investigate this mystery and dish the necessary punishment. I'm like the Judge Dredd of Southside.

Samsquanch1972 · #**473** 02-25-2013, 07:25 AM

Men I need a little push in the right fuzz pedal direction. I am thrown off with my swollen pickle cutting out on slightly fast runs. I also have an El Raton, so kind of have that Rat fuzz thing. Looking for more doom deep fuzz, should I got Bluebeard, Oxbow, or......
Been checking out vids and seems to be Bluebeard is doomville fuzz but vids are one thing and I rather you all's opinions.
My girlfriend thinks the swollen pickle is to funny a name and too pretty a green to sell off so it is now a guitar pedal lol.

Speaking of Judge Dredd was the last incarnation of the movie worth watching. As a teemager good old Antrhax got me into the Dredd comics. Strontium Dog rocked too!!!

It wasn't too bad.

Well if you like the Swollen Pickle other than it cutting out, then maybe start by trying a Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie B.

The Bluebeard is a completely different animal and if you are looking for a swollen pickle tone the BB will not get you there.

Let me know if you need help with the stakeout haha.

As far as the Judge Dredd remake, it was freaking awesome.

This goes for me. I just finished writing a new song for my band last night. As soon as we record it, it'll be posted here. Not even remotely stoner/doom related.

One time when I was in high school I was down by the river under the train trestle with some friends and I found an ancient Anthrax/Dredd T-shirt. It was full of holes, dirty, had the sleeves cut off and was too small for me but I still took it home.

Bad-ass ****ing t-shirt. It had Dredd from the comic books saying I AM THE LAW.

(You won't **** around no more)
