Stoner/Doom Bassists 53: Loud Noises

I don't know how it sounds yet, he'll ship the pedal on monday so I guess I'll be able to test it on wednesday/thursday.

But given that every pedal made from him that I've heard live sound absolutely huge, I'm not afraid at all :p

And the official description :

"The Jagannatha Custom. Bass fuzz and amp! 3 distortion mode (led display) with 3 band EQ. Mid shift switch. footswitchable EQ. built in and adjustable feedback looper with momentary footswitch. Integrated 12v bass amp taking from 4 to 8 ohm cabs. Custom Black paint+Green tolex. Green Led's. True Bypass. © Arts In Bloodshed 2013"
 
It's not too heavy for me, and i'm a skinny guy, lol.

You can definitely move the peg and I hear that it gets rid of the dive, I haven't done it to mine but I have heard that it works, you have to make sure where you drill tho.

I'd check the "Thunderbird Club" thread, i'm sure it's been posted there before.

Edit: oh and check here, found this on google

As mentioned in that article at the bottom, if you have a bolt-on neck, you can easily just remove one of the neck bolts, get a 1/8" longer one and screw the button into the neck plate. Easy to revert too. Of course that only works with bolt on TB's.
 
I think this post was casually ignored. Sounds freaking cool.

I'm not trying to push the Mesa stuff, not an endorser at this point or anything, just curious if anyone's tried 'em...I liked the Strategy quite a bit.

Just flew in to Copenhagen. Slept for a couple hours but jetlaggin' like a mofo still
 
Over at ILF, I have a subforum where I have archived lots of the past amp and pedal builds along with current events. If you wanna read up on things go check it out. Registration is not required. Does include information about current and future things that are going on

Awesome! I'll be spending a great deal of time here no doubt.
 
That's gotta be the nicest looking Jazz bass I've ever seen... Major GAS attack! :(
I gave in :D

are GHS Boomers hands down the poopiest strings on the planet?

I got 'em since I broke a string and needed something ASAP. Only fatty mcdaddies around here were the GHS'...I've put about 10hrs on them, maybe a bit more, and my low C already sounds like a giant shvt bag. Lots of "flopping", very little tone.....

Yes. I really do not like GHS Boomers. Partly because their name is very descriptive. When I had some, boom was all they'd do. No real tone, just mud.
 
Oh my gods. Dammit, here comes GAS.

I might have to snap one up...always loved the old 400+ amps...The Strategy interests me on a number of levels...the mid shapes are very cool and cover a lot of different ground...it can be run at 465, 250 or 125 watts and is fairly light for what it is...the 9 band graphic is really helpful for loud upright stuff and the eq points are really close to ideal for what I'm looking for. I got offered an endorsement, which is helpful, but Mesa endorsements aint ever free...still seems worth a shot. It's crazy powerful and lands somewhere between a 400+ and an SVT2 non Pro, which are two of my all time favorite amps
