Not a fan of black metal. With old blues and songs of that nature the heaviness for me comes from the powerful dark vocals and lyrics, over a nice thick riff on a janky guitar/banjo etc.
But I'm really into southern gothic stuff.
My Moms favorite artist!
i thought i heard people complaining about the lack of ports on Emperors, looks like that one has a few?
Man if you are looking at a 215 skip the crappy emperor and give Dave Homer at Gigmaster Soundworks a call.
once i was describing to my old man what doom metal is like and after my long explaination he says, "oh like black sabbath?". apparently thats all that was needed to be said.
Nice, Your mom has great taste, the guy was a genius imo!
Not sure if you know, but Scott Kelly, Steve Von Till and Wino released an album with acoustic Van Zandt covers a while back, great record.
yeah blues is the last thing id probably ever listen to. old blues to me is more depressing and sad than heavy haha, but some of it is cool just for historys sake although id never listen to it on my own.
one of the few Emperor supporters in this group is now rockin Ron's Berg, go figure
My wife and I's project, if it ever comes into fruition, is mutating into a strange beast. I had her do a youtube listen party with me last night to try to find bands she dug that we could both agree on. We settled on Tad and Melvins. New plan: play bass with 2 distortions stacking and find a guitard who can pick jangly chords for me in the background while I attempt to sing.
Wait, this is starting to sound like Still valley now. FUK.

****, i gotta buy Michigan dude, i cant even sleep on the mitten discount! i love their goals listed on the website too lol.
I definitely agree that downtuning and heavy fuzz/distortion isn't a requirement to be heavy. I LIKE those things, but they're not required for music to be heavy.
That sounds great Joe, I dig it!

I've been looking into having a bass made for awhile now...99% sure I'm going with Drake for this build, partly due to Corey Young's endorsement of Andrew as a builder and a person...I was looking for a 35" scale 4 string, for occasional down tuning, chambered body and TV Jones Thunder Blade pickups. I also like a fairly wide pickup placement, mostly becase I dig the tone, but partly because I think the Ric 4005 is the coolest looking bass of all time.
here's a sorta mock up
Though I really just don't relate to coffee table basses (I mostly play a T-40 or a Pbass), Andrew was thinking of putting a couple mahogany/maple/walnut stripes in there...still pondering that one. The finished body shape looks more like this;
Andrew also wants to use black hardware, which I'm not typically a huge fan of, but I'm getting the TV Jones pickups done with the 'soapbar mount,' so I think it could look really cool
