Stoner/Doom Bassists 53: Loud Noises

It hasn't even been a week since I put in the order for mine, and I'm already too excited.

Think Geoff ended up waiting about 4 1/2 months, and if mine ships out this week which I think it will, my wait time was around 4 months. Pretty solid turnaround.

Not on the epic scale of you guys, but I put in for a custom G&L SB-1. ;)

Awesome! What specs did you choose that you ordered one through a dealer? Please tell me it involves a bowling ball finish :)
 
A few weeks ago I got hooked up with a Mesa rep to try the new Strategy and Prodigy amps...not sure anyone here has tried one, but I really loved the Strategy. 8 KT88's at 465 watts. You can also run it on 4 powertubes for 250, or 2 power tubes at 125 watts...I just might be interested in one of these

No bowling ball swirl, but it is GREEN. :)

Options: Margarita green frost, ebony fret board, black colored headstock, #12 neck (1 5/8" nut, 12" radius), quartersawn neck wood, black 3-ply guard, clear gloss neck finish.

It was inspired by Darryl Jenifer's green monster to a degree.
 
Those are working good for you?

I bought 2 packs of Blue Steels a long time ago and broke a D string a few days after having them on my bass. Then when I changed the D string, a day later the G string broke. I`m not exactly heavy handed either. That was the only time I`ve ever broke a bass string.

That was the first and last time I used Blue Steels.

Haha. Nope. Used them a year or two but went back to d'addario. The blue steels broke every now and again. Thought it was just me. Never broke a d'addario string. And since I like strings that are 2-3 months old the price is right.

Sounds awesome man. I had a green SB-2 but I doubt it was what they call margarita green frost. More of a reefer green haha.
 
I wish they had more greens, but they only have two. The one I got is like lime green.
