Continued from... Stoner/DOOM Bassists Part 83: WHAT YEAR IS IT?


I'll repost this...

Ok stoned doomers, doomed stoners and other various musical miscreants...I need some serious feedback and brainstorming.

I need to name the custom Dunwich KT88 powered 300 watt tube head that Nick is making me. It's meant to be a big mostly clean super loud pedal platform. Not trying to go super tube distortion with it at least, because I tend to favor dirt from pedals. We went with a master volume, in case I do want to dirty up the front end a bit. Has a slave input in case I want to use it as a power amp with my already lovely Dunwich bass preamp. It's also going to go to 2 ohm, so I can run it with both Duallies if desired.

It's also meant to be flexible enough in the EQ to double as a guitar amp if I want, but mostly for bass use.

Here's the proposed front panel layout Nick gave me last year:

I was thinking of shooting for either something Lovecraftian, given Nick's naming trends (which I'm already a fan of) or something kinda cosmic/sci-fi sounding, since I'm a huge nerd. Maybe a fusion of the two, I get down on the whole cosmic horror thing. Maybe something none of the above that just veers into volume/dirt worship, I dunno. I suck at naming things and I need some suggestions, so I'm putting it to committee to see if anyone has a cool idea.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand go!
 
Ha...not being a republican, couldn't say. Different kind of horror. Existential horror?

The new Dunwich "We All Die Alone".


Getting good suggestions guys, getting my wheels turning at least.
 
The DA300 Custom is probably the fallback idea. Just something generic that references the builder and the power, but hopefully I can settle on something creative and not too kitchy, so that I hate it every time I look at it after 6 months lol.
