Stoner/Doom Bassist Thread Part 13: The Lost Thread

It's funny Is tarted on guitar and back then just needed a solid state that had decent distortion and you could play punk and some metal. Then later on I could never find a guitar tone I dug so mostly just played acoustic and clean electric. And that gets boring after a while and since a kid loved bass tones. So probably about ten years back I got my first bass and played clean bass for years. But the last few years I started getting into pedals and then the overdrive bug finally hit me, then got a little tube amp for guitar and so now I kind of a junkie for overdrive and dirt and warm amp tones. Now I love to have one set as a clean boost/slight hair, then a good bit of hair, then, then, then. Making up for lost time playing clean I suppose lol. But yeah it is great how the little guy loves that stuff, also he loves cheesy bigfoot movies like me, working on motorcycles with me. Never even though I wanted my own kid, then fell for a gal who had one, and he is my best buddy. He makes me appreciate the pedals for the things I usually take for graned, like the graphics, the colors of the leds, the knobs, fun to look through a kids eyes at life sometimes. And when I look at pedal review videos on youtube he goes yeah get that one Joe, get that one, sounds good sounds Rock N Roll Joe. Fun times
 
No practice at the church again. But we are going to practice at the guy who lets us use the churches house. So that's good. If we have to play at reasonable volumes I may get cranky. I need to give this demon king a go.
Either way, we are writing so I am happy about that.

8 string is out. And new guitarist is in, who we were jamming with on the regular over a year ago, until his stepson was hit by a car and died. His wife and him are ready now.
