Stoner/Doom Bassists 54: Big Cabs and Nerd Bombs

the garage/retro vs. stoner/doom thing is very interesting

here's one song by my friends which bridges the gap between the two genres:



Cool song. I like both garage rock/retro rock and stoner/desert rock (and doom metal...and sludge...and stoner metal), so anything in the ballpark is cool to me. I even like the stuff that verges on or is just flat out heavy blues rock, like Five Horse Johnson and a lot of Wallrus.
 
the beginning of the collection!

Nice I love me some Radio Moscow, and Earthless, and, and
 
LOL. Last week I was using the heat, now today I gave in and turned on the AC. Crazy global warming.

No doubt, it was 90 degrees today in VA, 90 degrees! just insane. Going back home for a long weekend, death in the family deal, sucky reason to be back on the block but still excited to hit my old haunts. Wilkes-Barre Musicgoround I got plans for you lol
 
God that fvcking crap bridge! I set up a couple old gibsons and i put the bridge flat on the body and it still played like a mac truck.

Yeah been reading some reviews and they are saying the new Gibson stuff is not what they used to be, so think I might stick to my plan of saving up for 90s Gibby Les Paul Standard or the Epiphone Les Paul Standard, think I could deal with that shape more than a Thunderbird and still have the pups, though that Epiphone Thunderbird Classic IV Pro is very tempting indeed.
