RAT TAIL!!!
Sounds wicked. Recording the bass as we jam, hopefully I can get some decent clips out of it.

You're making me think I might like the 7 pro over my orange bass terror. My acoustic 470 is going to handle the dirt/fuzz, and the other will be clean.
Then again I can wait and save for a tube head. Ugh.

It's my favorite Crowbar album. I like that guy's bass work on the album, he seemed to come out of nowhere and go straight back. Just a quick blip between Todd Strange quitting music and Rex Brown jumping into the fray. There's not much info about him floating around, I know he's played in some other metal bands. Of course Crowbar always seemed pretty much like Kirk's home base, everyone else is just visiting.
He cut that album with some dean bass, vintage 810, hartke 3500, and a metal zone 
he was touring with thy same rig except the metal zone got swapped for a green big muff.

There's some chorus or something on there too. It's not a really obvious tone for what you think would go with that music, but it works really well with the mood of the album.
Crowbar have always been masters of "how did they get THAT sound from THAT gear?" tone. I know Kirk has used a Metalzone frequently in the past, but with the gain all the way off and EQ set flat, just to boost the front end of those Randall heads.

Nice. I'm a big proponent of the less knobs the better. Me and father used to have a contest to see who could have the least knobs in their rig. He always started with at least one...

That show was the first time he used EMG's too. He was using those Jackson Scott Ian models and the time and at the show he broke a string. He took one of Sammy's backups loaded with EMG's and he was floored by the sound. it sounded huge after he borrowed that guitar if you can believe it.

yeah, see where that gain knob is? thats practice volume...get it to 9oclock, thats show volume.
I always wondered with 200 watt tubed heads, like.. 9 o'clock is ear bleedingly or torso cavity shakingly loud.
What would happen if you dimed it? I think it would open the gates to hell.
edit: trying this when i get home

This may be alittle stupid of me to ask, but I was just asked to play in a death/black metal band, and don't know if I know how to play that kind of bass other than what the guitars are playing? The guy always says I'm " pretty beast on bass", but I don't know if he's just looking for someone to fill in the lows. I do like Alex Webster cause he's a beast on bass, but is there a different way(tone, technique, bass harmonizing with guitars, chords, etc.) to play than doom? I know they don't want just a root/riff follower. I expect flames, atleast vapors.But would appreciate insight more.
Depends on the band.
I actually follow the guitars much less in my black metal band than in my doom band. You just write an interesting bass line that provides nice counterpoint to the guitar line.
I like to use contrary motion quite a bit in black metal.
