I can`t remember who recommended Todd & the book of Pure Evil but me and my lady spent the past 2 nights watching the first season and laughing our (metaphorical) sacks off.

yeah! it`s pretty rad to hear High on Fire on a TV show. The show is really funny plus it has awesome heavy songs playing in the background. What more could you ask for?

**LOCOPELAND** · #**765** 12-24-2012, 09:05 PM

Ok, so I'm a little conflicted right now...I just came across this craigslist ad. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/msg/3476303398.html Pretty cool bass. I don't have the money for it, but I do have my drums w/cases & hardware that are worth about the same as the seller's asking price. I haven't played my drums in months and they're just sitting in my friends garage.

What would you do? Am I crazy for wanting to trade my acrylic drums for sweet mojo ridden Ric? Or should I offer them up?

change-jug · #**766** 12-24-2012, 09:20 PM

that`s a pretty gnarly Ric! Do you have a Ric already? Would you regret selling your drums? It`s up to you.
i bought a used,but near mint Jetglo 4003 back in `07 or `08 and even tho I don`t play it all the time I`m sooooooo happy to have it. Do what makes you happy. Get it!

**LOCOPELAND** · #**767** 12-24-2012, 09:23 PM

I have a Ric copy, so no haha.

I'd have a hard time parting with my drums. They're really good hah. Ugh...tough decision.

that's almost as mojo'd as mine with all the missing chips and paint.. honestly, those 70s rics have the best necks. i fell in love with mine instantly, and i bought it blind - if you can test it, give it a try. if you love how it feels right away, just do it!

That's an awesomely evil looking Rickenbacker.

I feel like that's kinda what I want in a fuzz/overdrive pedal. The tone knob on my Big Muff is the bane of my existence. I'm always second-guessing my setting on it.

Moloch666 · #**772** 12-25-2012, 12:37 AM

My NYC Big Muff (that used to be Corey's) has the tone stack bypass, absolute godsend, cuts through the mix, no loss of mids... Has a bit of the Cliff Burton / Morley wah sound without having a wah. Absolutely love it!

Happy Solstice Doomers!

Sartori · #**773** 12-25-2012, 01:11 AM

Ooh, that sounds like exactly what I need. I don't use the Big Muff for my regular sound, but for fills and weird parts with my black metal band. Might want to use it eventually for similar things with my doom band as well, and that would be great.

Is it an easy mod to do/have done?

Corey Y · #**774** 12-25-2012, 01:25 AM

The tone bypass mod on a Big Muff is pretty easy, if you're at all handy with a soldering iron. It's pretty much just two wires and a switch.

That is exactly what I use it for currently. Booster/More Heavy switch after the Blowtorch when needed, use it by itself for our Sodom cover and boost with the 250 for more breakup.

Boom. Christmas came yesterday.

That Ric is not all original. The truss rod cover, pickguard and jack plate look all replaced at one time or another. And it must be late 73 with the high gain in the neck and the kluson tuners. Also no checker binding. I say too much $$ being both my late 70's were only a couple hundred more and both in way better shape. One was about dead mint.

**DethByDoom** · #**779** 12-25-2012, 07:54 AM

Working. Have to wait till tomorrow to test drive her. I got a soldering iron and solder sucker. Now I can really get in trouble. First project: feedback looper.

Also my guitar player wants a bypass looper.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I ended up calling the dude and talked to him for a bit. He's aleady got a set of Tama Grandstars so he wasn't interested in my trade offer. Booooo
