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

Laz I'm a big fan of flangers for cool bass effects. Delays are hit or miss for me. I just picked up the airplane flanger from ibanez and it's pretty cool. Way different from my boss. Still messing with it. Maybe an SFT at the front of your chain to get more flavor of OD from the ampeg
I love using delay on bass,it's especially great for noisey freakouts.It's pretty hard to use it in a rhythmic context though.We recently wrote a sng where I do volume swells with a fuzz box and delay pedal rather than actual picking notes.My only advice is to get one with that has a low end roll off on the repeats,otherwise it's pretty easy to get stuck in the mud.
So, today I got the following for myself;
Acoustic 260 (100 watts into a 1x10 speaker STAND BACK OR YOUR FACE WILL BURN OFF WITH THE VOLUME AT 10 O'CLOCK)
A Digitech Whammy
and a set fo flat-wounds for my newly-fretless SX five string.
I plugged it all up, and then had to play with a pedal, so i grabbed my XXL B witht eh dying battery and
I think I like, I dunno, experience ego death or something. Sputtering 2 octave down glitch noises at a volume of LOUD oh my god.
Anyways, I'll post pictures soon, and clips if I can get everything to sound right. cheers!

I love using delay for laying a thick layer of chord picking.
I'm only using it in one or two songs though and finding a reasonable priced good delay
is not only a matter of taste.
I use the Danelectro Echo-1 because I found it a little bit more versatile than the Ehx memory toy. They are about the same price here in Germany, but the Danelectro can give you both digital and analog sounds pretty well.
On the other hand it has the usual Dano Plasticjacks which I think will be the first things to break. But its on my board and i dont unplug it anyway....

So gents. Outside of the new Fender Tube heads, what do you guys think of the Fender TB600 and 1200 heads. I played one a few months ago and I still can't get how good it sounded out of my head.
I didnt like em...the tone stack seemed very difficult to get "balanced"...however the 100t uses the Same stack and I love it....so maybe I was a dunderhead.

So the dude I sold my old head to just put it in the classifieds. I may try and get it back!
It's a modded SWR SM 400s.

Ok so I’m definitely buying my old head back and I may get a 4x12 too. It’s squared shaped so it’ll be wide enough for the broken V4 that I will nurse back to health eventually.
