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

WHOA Jeremy. Whoa.

PS are you coming to Pittsburgh any time soon? I'd even drive to the ****** state of Ohio if it meant I got to see you guys play. I don't know how road ready my band will be any time soon but once we're gigging locally we can try to set something up in the burgh if you'd like.

text me. cool things in the works.
 
Here ya go mc,

So I bridged the channels on the SVT-VR tonight. Ran channel 1 with my mids cranked pretty good as well as the bass turned up a decent amount and dialed the master volume back a bit. Ran the second channel with bass and treb dialed back and turned the master up pretty good. What resulted after that was godly! I'm getting some real nice tube drive from the second channel without getting too boomy, and I'm able to EQ what kind of tone I'm looking for in the first channel. I am so glad I bought this amp. It gets along great with the humbuckers in my Roadster. This is the happiest I've ever been with my tone, and that's without any pedals.

Also, we had the new singer with the whole band tonight. He had temporary lyrics written so he could practice with us as we were working on songs. A proactive singer!!! So now we have 5 members. Everyone has great gear, a job, a car, and a great personality. I can't believe how well this band has come together. I may have some raw tracks for you guys from tonight. We're really happy with how the songs are coming along, but this one song we have is an incredible face melter. I wrote the main riff (I don't typically do a lot of writing) and it is sooooo freaking heavy. I love a good practice.

Also, I think I have someone to buy my the Magma. Since everything sounded so awesome tonight now I'm a little hesitant about pulling the trigger on a Greenboy Dually, but I'm pretty confident Mike will make me an incredible 215. Plus a 215 that you can carry with one hand is still really interesting me!

Anyways, blog over. I'm on cloud 9 from practice.
