Stoner/Doom Bassists 84: Name That Amp!

MDB30002_zpse67a3001.gif

My DOOM axe. Actual pic of mine rather than the ad one I posted a couple of threads ago. Sounds as evil as it looks.
 
Good suggestions, I'm digesting them. Naming an amp a regular person name is right up my alley, it's my go to with kittens too.

Here's a shot of the Warp Rig practice space, as promised.

Not much to see of my rig right there, I take my amp with me every time we practice. Just have the Eminence loaded Dually in there and my Beta Bass, which I sometimes let the guitarist use and sometimes use myself when I'm doing dual rigs. Our guitarist's new blueline SVT he got for his other band sounds killer through the flatback 810. I didn't try it through the Dually yet, but he wants to hear it so probably next time. We had a good practice tonight, got most of a new song written. We also compared notes on comments we got on the demo, so thanks again for everyone who listened and had nice things to say.

What's in your rack? Looks like tonezzzz all other the place.


The demo is evidence of that.
 
Diggin the practice space! Bookmarked your bandcamp to listen to when I get off work in about an hour.

Cool, thanks. I really want to get more stuff recorded pronto...need to keep writing first though.

Our guitarist and I are both gear nuts, so there's usually a lot of amps, cabs and pedals in the mix. He keeps all his stuff there, I just keep a little bit. If I brought all my amps and cabs there might not be room for anything else lol. It's actually pretty sparse right now, compared to how it usually is. Our guitarist is liquidating some gear, because he bought the SVT head, and most of my gear is in my warehouse since we recorded. It's a pain to move and we're low on space. That box is the road case for the SVT, there's just no other place to put it, because the opposite wall is filled with gear the other band who we split the space with uses. Our guitarist plays bass in that band, so he has the SVT and his flatback 810 there for his use. I've just been using my MB800 and the Eminence loaded Dually for a while, since it can easily drown out everything else in the room at less than half volume. Once we start gigging I will probably bring some more stuff back in and I definitely plan on switching some things around when the Dunwich amp is done.
 
Uranus Is Doomed

Slave I I hope people recognized as Boba Fetts ship, which I'd totally have a head or bass in OD green, red stripes and chrome and such to look like him.
I was about to say that I don't know about naming a main head the Slave I, but Ron beat me to it.

Corellia. Han Solos birth planet, and kinda your name
That's also cool. Lots of sci-fi names are pretty sweet.

God I want a slave amp called "Slave I" so much now...such a good idea.
I was about to say that. Wouldn't it be awesome? Especially with the same funky paint scheme?


On the subject of Game of Thrones references, you could name it after one of the dragons.

In case you've forgotten what the names of the dragons are, here they are. Ahem.

Balerion - Aegon the Conqueror's dragon, and the largest of the dragons
Vhagar - Visenya (Aegon's sister) rode this one.
Meraxes - Ridden by Rhaenys (Aegon's other sister).

Daenerys' dragons are:
Drogon - the black one.
Viserion - the pale and goldish one.
Rhaegal - the green one.

/ridiculous amounts of nerdiness.

FN A nice toys!!!

Oh the 800RB works and is still available. The gamble is will it still be there Friday when I am down that way. When it rains it pours as it may turn out to be a two bass heads in the same week for me, JMac hooked a brother up, tracking says it should be here tomorrow!!!

Here it is! (actually took some real photos of it, versus the crappy cell pics, I sent You). All I can ask for, is some awesome shots of it with the cab, when it lands and You get it unpacked and jam on it a bit.

In other news... Man You fellas are moving along quick. Hopefully, I'll get some time to play catch-up and give everyone's new tunes a listen and all. Been uber busy lately with a lot of projects so I've had My head all wrapped up in that stuff (some gear related, some not), so I'll post some photos as soon as timing allows.

Man I can't wait for it to land. Will gladly take pics, bought the girlfriend a new digital camera for XMas so will take shots with that.

Awesome! I hope You dig it. I'm thinking it'll sound really nice with Your faital loaded Bassic. It was a great amp for Me, for the year and a half I used it. All said, if I hadn't bought the 1000 watt version, I totally wouldn't have sold it. As You know, I was planning on keeping it (can't have enough amps, haha), but You were looking for one, so I figured I'd hook You up with the best deal I could on it.
