Episode 88: S/D thread - No Hope

[beebassdude]

Just now realized the doc is the mayor from Ghostbusters, right?

id just like you to know that almost 50% of us voted for you in the last election.

is it a legit 70s less paul bass? short scale version?

No its new. Long scale. Played one in NYC at Sam ash. Awesome sound. Really heavy. Great feel. Really dig it but I'll have to sell my epi tbird to keep from being tight on money. Mixed feelings on that... Actually the guy sounds interested in it. Put it out there as trade bait.

 

[Pelham Bleu]

whats there to talk about? the new trilogy is like a filmed abortion in slow motion that lasts for half a day.

See, I'm just a skosh more hopeful than that.

I believe Mike is refering to episodes I-III and not the currently in production VII

Man I would love to land one of those Gibson Money basses someday. Even the old Gibsons Les Pauls with the active humbuckers in it would make me happy. I got those TB Plus pickups in the other day, trying to think of what kind of body to have built for them. JMac hooked me up with a cool maple jazz bass neck with the black block inlays on it. I am tempted to just order another 51 pbass body in Mahogany but with belly and arm cut outs on it and have the pups routed in the same spot as a TBird.

Ah, yeah I'm hopeful but not overly excited for VII-IX. As for I-III, they don't exist.

 

[father of fires]

So will I be seeing anyone at this next weekend?!

Invalid Link Removed

If you stick around for day two we can hang!

Edit: Also...one of my guitarists is in Passage Between. Will you be using your rig or the house rig?

 

[father of fires]

In other news...I'm stuck in another gear crisis.

What is indispensable to you guys nowadays?

I have lots of pedals and amps but nothing is making me happy as of late.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Everyone is using Sixty Watt Shaman's cabs but I'll have my Terror Bass head.

 

[dukeorock]

I'm sure I've mentioned how much I love the old First Act custom shop stuff. I have a Delia that is fantastic...a buddy of mine has one I've never seen before


Has a Moserite vibe, blade pickups. He said he's only seen one other besides this one

 

[ampegfuzz]

Eastwood is about to put out a very similar one. And Fof, what's your rig?

I have seen kurt ballou play a guitar with that body style live back on axes to fall tour.
It was a first act

 

[dukeorock]

I would think the First Act custom shop stuff would be a lot nicer than the Eastwood stuff. I've played a couple nice Eastwoods, but some were pretty dodgy

Probably that signature one he has coming out.

Ric or RG body would be awesome. Thunderbirds are usually mahogany...

Honestly, I could probably be content with my tbird, terror, 810, and demon/rat.

 

[almost human]

Totally random but we took in another rescue Sulcatta tortoise. Torti is a little smaller than old Wilbur.

Such incredible creatures- thanks for saving another one

Yep,he had a signature First Act guitar. A surprising amount of dudes in heavy,screamy underground bands were playing custom First Act guitar and basses a few years back.

Probably that signature one he has coming out.

Pretty sure those are 2 different guitars. You`re talking bout his new guitar company and V&K probably saw a custom First Act guitar,that tour was a few years ago.

I love Converge and kurt in general.

Thanks Man, we had the space so why not we figured.

latest acquisition. Low impedance and low efficiency though, going to need a Dunwich amp to drive them properly . What do you say Nick? 5 watt amp with lots of current.
