Stoner/Doom Bassist Thread Part 8 - Insert witty title...

So, I’m sitting here wishing I had something interesting to post but really I’m just avoiding work at the moment. But to not waste this time in vain I decided just to post whatever I was thinking about…

I’m bummed because we didn’t have practice last night. I’m bummed because I haven’t been listening to much music. I’m bummed because I’m not happy with my gear at the moment. I’m bummed that I’m not in an instrumental power trio. I’m bummed that I need a haircut. I’m bummed that I spent all last weekend painting my house and I don’t love the new colors. I’m bummed that…

Well, enough of that. I have a guitar center card burning a hole in my pocket and I’m trying to think of something cool to buy. What’s something I should look into (amps, cabs, effects, accessories)? What piece of gear can’t you live without that we don’t talk about much in this thread?

Atleast you have something to complain about... :p

I would say one thing I could not do without is the Behringer/Sansamp copy that I have BDI21. It just makes everything sound heavier. Just make sure to put it at te back of the pedal chain.

I try to join bands that have a name already. At that point I don't care what it is. I'm just glad I don't have to think of one. But I'm constantly coming up with names for side projects and such.
My fake tough guy hardcore band: “Break Downey Junior”
My fake jazz/ blues trio: “The Pork Chop Express”
My fake ambient doom bancd: “ARQ with a Q”
My fake thrash band: “Grave Lust”
My fake death metal band: “Dejaculation” (I can’t take credit for this one)
My fake gore metal band: “Mortal Cumbath” (I can’t take credit for this one either)
I have so many this list could go on forever!

My BS project was called through the woods. Recorded one guitar only track that was over 14 minutes.

Dudes, I'm in need of some help that I'm hoping at least one of you could give me.

Does anyone have an audio clip of them running a Way Huge Green Rhino into a Bass Big Muff Pi (or vice versa)? I'm minutes away from pulling the trigger on a Green Rhino but there's no way to determine whether it will work well/give me the tone I want with the BBM. I just want a killer fuzz/OD combo to kick my sludge tone up a few notches and wreak some havoc...its all I want :P

I'll be eternally grateful if anyone can supply a clip.

Just wanted to say hi to you gents, been on tb for awhile now. I dont post much, however I have recently become addicted to this thread so I figure I might as well become active in it. Currently working with a drummer, keyboardist, and guitarist. Way too early on for any kind of worthwhile recording to share. I hail from pittsburgh, well north of it actually but I live there for several years while attending the art institute. But enough about me, anyone heard the new mental architects single? The album was produced by aaron harris and so far its shaping up to be tight as hell.

If you buy it right you can always flip it if you don't like it. Anyone enjoying this unseasonably warm weather? I have rode my motorcycle almost every day this week to work. Also anyone else ride?

Hey there! I'm originally from up near Sharon. I went to PSU and moved to MD for a couple years and now I'm back in the burgh. Are you familiar with the Pittsburgh scene? We have some pretty cool bands. Sistered, Vulture, October, Mockingbird, etc. My band will likely be gigging in a few months as well.

I used to race gokarts and stuff, but I don't think I'll ever ride a motorcycle. You could be the best driver in the world and some girl could run a red light at 45 mph while she's texting on her phone in an SUV and kill you in an instant. More power to you though =P I have been taking my dog to the park however!
