Stoner/Doom Bassists #64 - sensitive artsy emo chicks

Hey everybody. I'll go back and catch up in a second. Wanted to share some good times first.

NBD!

...and, just got email from Ryan that my custom OSD shipped.


Stoked, to say the least. :bassist:

Awesome! This is the one you custom ordered right?
 
Oh yeah, NPD with the Tremorslo. Nifty pedal. I definitely hear the volume boost Sam was talking about, it's intense. Kind of weird normally there's a volume drop on most mod type pedals I use. Probably due to the input capacitor being bass tuned or something. I'm going to mess with it some more tonight, maybe even try it before my fuzz instead of after to see how it sounds. I'm thinking it will end up on the chopping block to fund other purchases though. It's pretty cool.

I read where the volume boost was intentional due to what you said lots of mod pedals drop in volume, so Ryan added the boost to compensate. I read where the Boss Tremolo really drops volume and I had the Danelector Cool Cat Tremolo and that really lost volume. Nothing a EQ with a boost cut slider couldn't remedy though. Great sounding Tremolo for sure though.

Yeah a volume control for the booster would have been ideal, or a trim pot... hmm maybe there's one hiding inside. You could do some really trippy psych stuff with this thing for sure.

Thanks gents.

Yes, this was custom order (via bassnw). Non-stock items are the ebony board, black headstock, #12 neck (means 1 5/8 nut width 12" radius), quartersawn neck wood, clear gloss neck finish.

Came in at exactly nine pounds. Balances steady (big relief). Neck has a nice beefy feel to it, and so far no sign of dead spots or any other funkiness. (Now to inform the rest of my family. :hiding: )

That bass makes a certain part of me,...let's just leave it at...boing.
