Stone/Doom Bassists Thread Part 39: Flip Flops & Zubaz!

I always assumed it was someone's phone pooping out on quotation marks or periods or something. I didn't point it out, so as to avoid awkward moments...





...like accusing DethByDoom of leaving character pooplets all over the thread. Which is what this is. A moment, that is awkward. Involving computer poops.
 
I like the idea of the power switching for getting that sweet sound at different volumes. It's one of the things I like about the D-180 I have.

Yeah I'm also Interested in stuff like that. I kind of wish my AD200B had a half power switch. It rattles the fvck out of the stuff in my basement. Sounds killer though but I figure half power would be more appropriate for rocking out at home and recording.

If I ever get something from dunwich I'd want it to have switching power.
 
The D-180 doesn't have a half-power switch. It has this weird voltage regulation thing going on whenever the master control isn't all the way on. It has the advantage of getting that thick overdrive at lower volumes, but the disadvantage in that all the change in output seems to be between 7-9.5 on the knob.

hmm strange...some kind of attenuator built in or something?
 
That's silly. I see more women at doom shows than at any other variety of metal show except black metal.

Tell me about it. Conversation went like this.

me: So what bands are you into?
him: I don't know a lot of bands, but I like Down.
*warning flags that his point of reference is Down and I did not list them as an influence.
me: Well, do you know any of the bands I listed?
him: not really
me: what do you want to tune to?
him: I play a 7 string, I am in drop A
me: oh. what do you think the vocal style would sound like? *tyrying to see if we really are on the same page or not
him: can you sing pretty? girls won't come to our shows if we scream...

me: well, this other guy emailed me first, so I am going to give him the first shot...

seriously. Although, I would have gave him a shot. It did not sound like a good fit from the start and I didn't want to settle AGAIN.
 
My poor Ibby P never gets shown off enough, because its the only bass I keep in standard tuning. That pretty much keeps it delegated to bass lessons, theory practice, and noodling around under the influence in my living room.

So here's my 1975 P!

Yeah we went through some pretty similar facepalm moments when I was in a fast thrashy but melodic kind of metal band and we were looking for a lead guitarist.

Some kid replied and we set up a jam. We had put influences like old Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Iced Earth. So I told him learn this Iced Earth tune and we'll show you some of our originals.

This kid shows up wanting to jam Avenged Sevenfold :rollno:...he could barely even play and when the rhythm guitarist said we were going out for a "tree" break he seemed mortified haha. It wasn't long after that that he hightailed it out of there.

Kyle at blackout made this wonderful toy for me. It's just their VST modded Twosome (musket & fix'd fuzz circuit) but in a more pedalboard friendly box with this incredible paint job.

But yeah, musket super gnarly and versatile muff, and the fix'd is a vintage raspy kind of fuzz, sputtery Velcro like fuzz, and a boost plus a ton of other things. Then you can use both, stack them, and flip the order of how they work. Fuzz tones for days.

That looks and sounds cool. I want days of fuzz tone.....

Can someone point me where to learning about pedals process the sounds? I want to understand how these boxes get the signal and fux with it.

Earth - The Corascene Dog on Pandora. Excellent.
