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

I watched a minute on YouTube and now I have to break my Nirvana cds... but i'm just a negative creep.

I think Kurt shot himself cos he had a premonition that his bandmates would one day do something as lame as this and he couldn't bear it.
 
i got a ss/bs **** OD. killer ****in pedal. A mainstay on my board to be built in Jan
Into a juiced matamp design kicking it on IS instant dopesmoker tone all day


Right on. I wish you had some clips. That sounds interesting. I have not heard many #&^$ OD clips. Sweet logo btw! Who does your artwork? Tell them well done!

In other news, Anyone here listen to Sparklehorse? Not doom at all, but I always dug the dirty, grindy bass on the song "Pig." I wonder what they used for that..

 
I was looking at this music festival in Byron Bay,Australia.Iggy and the Stooges,Madness,Robert Plant,Fat Freddy's Drop,Violent Femmes,yadda,yadda.Not doom but still pretty cool.When I looked at hte ticket price though,I was less than keen.$500 for 4 days.

Just got a phone call this morning.I can go for free.
 
On the topic of F*ck Overdrives got this on the way...

I've got one of the Mini's and it kills. TAFM or 4545 next.
 
On the upside of the whole nirvana thing krist was Till repping the RD and had quite the killer outfit on. It was pretty cool to see his balding lanky as$ bobbing again... Dave alway kills it.. The rest was garbage. I'm glad I slept through billy joel.

Also fwiw, I like the vega lady logo

A guy named Ralph randomly decided to do that logo for me and we have been collaborating on stuff ever since.
 
I'm not going to make a lot of friends with post.

I just watched a minute of Sir Paul, Pat, Dave, Krist.

1) That was not Nirvana

2) It was a pretty good song (but I didn't recognize it).

For me...the litmus test for maturity is being able to admit that something has talent but you personally don't enjoy it.

I wouldn't buy the album but there is so much ****ing talent on that stage and they weren't stepping on each others toes like so many megastar super groups.

And...I want that bass! Do you thing it was a signature model?

The only stereo rig that matters.

And I think it might qualify as quadraphonic... or 7.1 or some ****

Hmmmm well if you consider two guitarists a stereo rig then yes, but Greg and Stephens rigs arent "Stereo" they each have a daisy chained Master > Slave > Slave setup. Still doesnt stop it from being perceived as 7.1 though :bassist:

While looking for new music last night I found that somebody boot legged the only Sunn O))) concert I've ever been too. Did I download it? Damn right i did.

Yeah… didn't feel like a nirvana reunion. They'd have done better to play something off nevermind with Pat playing the guitar part and Paul just singing. Really though, Dave could've sang the song. That woulda been legit. That said, as you said, it wasn't a bad song. And, yeah, *** was Paul playing? Electric banjo?

I got to play one of those Krist nova gibsons… it was really really nice. I'm not really a fan of jazz pups but it sounded and felt REALLY good.
 
So...who has gotten a better free ride in rock music than Pat Smear?

It makes me smile everytime I see him working.

I don't know man. He paid his dues in the Germs. That was when being a punk rocker meant catching an ass whooping. Being a punk didn't get cool until it hit the third time with Green Day (IMO). Previously, the only top 40's punk band was The Clash. By the time they reached that status, one could debate if the music they were playing even was punk... (Rock the Casbah, anyone?)

Anywho. Love him or hate him, Pat isn't getting any free rides.
