Got a chance to talk to Mike Arnopol (the guy I'm talking to about the fearful Dually composite build) and he said he can do the duratex in any color sherwin williams sells. How am I ever supposed to choose a color... haha

vocals aren't really my thing but good lord these are solid jams. guitar tones are heavy as ####. I dig it.
Just caught up,Laz,summoner are fantastic!
I've been playing the rick through my Laney A.O.R.Essentially a 50 watt jcm 900 style guitar head.Sounds ****ing fantastic.My main gigging amp doesn't have a pre-amp gain on it, so it's a nice contrast. Dialling in some great hawkwind sounds.
I'm counting down,just over a week till Dead Meadow!

Beginners question: I am exploring the possibility to join a stoner-band: singer-guit*rist/me/drummer but I am wondering: can you play stoner with just finger style or should I work on my (non-existing) picking-skills?
Played the SVT for the first time in about a year. Sounded good but not great. I couldn't get it dialed in where I like but I also did not spend much time trying. Biggest surprise was the Walkabout, did not need to tweak it at all basically ran it flat and it sounded really good and more than loud enough. I had the gain at 1 o'clock and master at noon and had no problems cutting through. I would not hesitate to gig with it as my main amp...although it looks ridiculous sitting on top of the 810. 
.
We're playing at a sports awards banquet for a local college next week, basically doing funk covers and some Monobrow material while people go up to accept their awards, going to try do it with the walkabout and 210. Definitely the smallest and lightest rig I have ever used.

^that is the correct answer^
The pick is more common in the punkier,edgier stoner rock bands.Try and be equally good at both.Good luck!

Don't be afraid to jump those channels
and you go rock that "old man rig" Sam.
Want to talk about jumping the channels? Haven't tried it on my VR yet and don't see what the purpose is.
It's pure awesomeness!!! I was literally ready to sell my SVT a year before last because I was tired of the way it sounded. Then I coughs a thread about jumping channels and it was like a new amp. I basically run it kinda like a bi amp in a sense but not. Channel 1 is bassy and full and channel 2 brings cut and grit. Also the "suck button" is a big no no. So if you use that their is no point.
Lol what is the suck button? I've left all the boost/cut switches off I never use those on amps.
those would be the suck buttons...
We were a little short on time yesterday so I did not tinker too much. I'll spend more time with it this weekend. I was getting a very middy (in a bad way) tone, kind of thin and lacking punch. I have jumped the channels before but it has been a while. I should revisit that.
So you do it this way? Ampeg Svt Vr bridging Channel 1 and Channel 2 - Fender Precision Bass vintage reissue classic '50 - YouTube
I guess doing it this way, the bright channel acts as a pass thru and inputs into the normal input of channel 2?

pretty much, but you can experiment with the combination. you can plug your bass in the channel 1 normal, then go from channel 1 bright to channel 2 normal or bright...or any other combination.
Hmm I'll have to give it a try. Does it give you some of that 2 channel "thickness" by doing this?
