Stoner/DOOM Bassists thread part 36 - Old School Death Metal Wannabes

Haha. Vaporizer. The one I bought is labeled as a potpourri warmer to be somewhat incognito.

[Rushing]

Oh I thought you meant you a bowl of orange peels and cinnimon sticks you set ontop of your Terror bass during shows. 7 Pro Traitor!

[TDSLaBassiste]

Okay, I wasn't sure if it was a vaporizer or some kind of bowl haha

I've never used a vape. Of all the times I've ever smoked, it was always a bowl. I still have yet to roll anything with some more fun ingredients, I've been using a blend of American Spirit and some kind of cavendish my friend had lying around.

[Kawai-chang]

Just wanted to wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving and have a good weekend!

[TDSLaBassiste]

Right back at ya, Mr. Chang!

[swspiers]

ok,so I'm DJ'ing at a venue in the city tomorrow,and I've been instructed to only play stoner rock
ideas?

I have more pedals than the guitarist in my black metal band, even with only three (fuzz, wah, reverb, which I tend to only use for specific parts of songs). He only has an overdrive pedal. Though his amp has a built-in phaser he uses sometimes.

I second the earlier Dopesmoker recommendation. Can't get much more stoner than that.

Most of the great ones have standard high-gain pickups, I'm not letting this break the deal for me, but I'm curious if anyone has any experience.

My Rick has a toaster neck pickup, and I'll be adding a toaster neck pickup to my semi-rickified Peavey for the doom.

The toaster is lower output than a high gain, and is a bit "smoother" sounding. I use the one on my Rick for clean sections where a bit less of a grindy sound is required. It's got massive lows, too, which if I was running a stereo setup, I'd probably take advantage of.

Hell yes.

It really depends on what you're playing, who you're playing it with, and where you're playing it.

For my folk/rock band, my head with a 1x15 cab is really plenty, though I do use the bigass 2x15 when we play bars or anywhere else that will let us be fairly loud. Partly just cause it sounds more awesome.

For black metal, I use the 2x15, and for doom metal, I also use it and am building a second one.

all the Ric talk just fuels the GAS

[mc_muench]

Yeah, I'm thankful I gave into the GAS and bought this ric copy, majorly subsided by ric GAS...I still want a real one though.

[Corey Y]

I'm all set on bass gear right now, after I get my new pre and power amp. I'm starting up my guitar GAS now, since writing new music has me actually playing. I wanna get a Vox AC30 or some good emulator pedal.
