I really want a sterling V HH... One of the few basses that gives me gas.

Oh, I didn't realize. A quick internet search turns up nothing and it appears to be out of print.

I guess less reputable methods of finding it are the way to go.

They seem targeted for a younger crowd so I might be too old to drive one anyway.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing right now. I didnt know they supported music like this. BIG +1 for scion in my book.

But I dont think the xB would be the best DOOMmobile, could you even fit one 8x10 in one?

xB's can actually fit a rack ton of stuff inside of them, the back seats fold down if i remember correctly, ask EyeballKid he's got (or had) a sick matte black one. Was so jelly the first time i saw it after he picked it up.

haha thats awesome. i sold my ovation magnum 1 to a guy on here from russia, told me to ship it to arizona. sale seemed super shady but ended up being awesome. once the guy got the bass he friend requested me on facebook. i can never understand a single thing he posts but were still friends.

False statement. The guitarist in cstvt has one, and you can fit a ton of stuff in there. The seats fold down, and it's massive. Easily fit 2 8x10's in there if you wanted (with room to spare).

We normally rolled with 2-4x12's, 2-2x12 combos, 2 heads, 6x10 and 2x15 bass cabs, plus pedalboards, drum hardware, and guitars in his car...plus a passenger.

I'd have the merch, other passenger, and drums in my car.

Acid Bath is awesome. "Paegan love song" rocks sooo hard, Paegan Terrorism Tactics is a decent album. I saw EyeHateGod a couple years ago (w/ Nachtmystium and Howl) and they're great live.

[mc_muench]

I stand corrected about the xB.



The VEGA-van is still where its at

Acid Bath's "Paegan Terrorists Tactics" was one of the albums I was listening to on repeat in the days leading up to my wedding in 2002, along with The Art Of Self Defense and some Acid King and EyeHateGod that eludes me at the moment. I think Busse Woods and Take As Needed For Pain.

it is truly my secret weapon, even though honestly it only has one 'setting' that works for me and the only variable is the level if it gets bumped in transit. despite all the knobs it is a one trick pony, but its trick is the pony equivalent of a triple backflip.

i use it for dragonaut-esque 'wAOw weow' (haha) kind of noises during fills and as a crazy mid-bump when i'm not playing staccato. it also functions amazingly as a feedback machine - i get endless sustain with bluebeard + el oso, then if i kick on the mini mu before it, the mid frequency slowly sweeps up and changes the sound, then when i kick it off the frequency slowly sweeps down again. cool as hell.

one tip if you do get another one - depending on your tuning, the frequency band should be adjusted accordingly. standard tuning i prefer 'mid' and C standard i prefer 'low' and guitar should almost always be on 'high' or it just doesn't sound quite right, unless it's downtuned, then mid works fine.

also, you can make it sound nasty as hell if you drop the level and crank the gain. i wouldn't recommend putting dirt behind it, unless it's a really light dirt or you want it to sound synthy.

**** yeah, it is!

Until they make an XB with about 250 horse, I am not looking at getting a Scion. But, I am happy that they have been supporting underground music.

Yes, yes it is. But not as cool as the 2.5l turbo boxer version that will be coming out.

Wouldn't fit unfortuantely xB is FWD, the subaru boxer motors are RWD/AWD. Would be pretty slick though, alternatively you can buy street legal turbo kits for the xB that give its 2.4l around 250hp on pump gas.
