Stoner/Doom Bassists 89: Father's Missing Voodoo

Not open for further replies.
My 70's PAF Dimarzio equipped Hondo sounded significantly better than my '78 P-bass. I ended up selling the P-bass and keeping the Hondo.

Those pickups are pretty damn fantastic.

My washburn is the same way.





Ha, I see max's rig

Haha, and now its just more peavey.



Was looking up peavey heads and this popped up first. Man Hartley Peavey is an intense looking dude.



Bearded. That is man you can trust.


With the amp that he made, I wouldn't except any less facial hair.


Now I'm off to VEGA practice, which involves a business meeting with a guy, very important.

Coincidence?
 
I only heard 2nd hand so cant accurately report, but apparently it involved a band crashing at another bandmember's place, alcohol, a knife, and an early departure.

So not the best pic but check out the T-40 I snagged for $100 yesterday! Its actually maroon, not black. Had some dings and scratches but for a well used bass its solid as a rock.

I dont know if I've ever seen/heard of this before... the pickups are coil tapped when the tone is up above 7, as you turn it down past 7 you hear an audible thickening as the full humbucker engages. It took me about 10 minutes of fiddling with it to make it sound pretty much exactly like I have my Ric. It has a really really good P tone with the neck humbucker engaged and solo'd. Think I'm gonna have fun with this one

Toast I hate you.
 
I don't think I've posted in here since it was the Bonekrushing tone club, but I just read through the last couple of threads at work and it's made my day pass way quicker. So, thanks for that guys!

Ron, Evan from Into It. Over It. and I had a long conversation about what I've seen of your rig just from this forum last time we talked and I'd have to say that it's a constant inspiration, especially with that EGC.

The rest of you guys, I need music recommendations, sludge, sludgy hardcore, and black metal influenced stuff preferably! Also, tips on finding people into the heavier side of things coming from a mainly punk/hardcore/emo sorta scene?


Vibrations of Doom, Doom Radio is a good place for death/black doom stuff. I always use bands like Turbonegro to get more of the rock stuff. Then bands like Atomic Bitch Wax, Blind Dog, Nebula. That stuff sorta hit the rock that my punk side needed. High On Fire and Black Cobra got the heavier side. Kylesa, Zoroaster, Weedeater, Eyehategod, Melvins, for some sludgeness. I have really been digging Ufommamut, and don't forget Bison BC and Demonic Death Judge.

You can pretty much go to allthatisheavy.com and pick something. There is the meteor city listening both with some goodies too.
 
Very true

And I'd just say important, since it's not me your meeting. :D

The important meeting went fantabulous, we had it where all important meetings happen, George Webbs. Well see what's comes from it in a few months until then back to preparing to record.

And my guitarist continues his GAS...he bought a Sunn 100s modded to have kt88s last week, and I just got word that his new Orange CR120 was waiting for him at home. And he's putting the Peavey Standard amp into the old Supernova head case so hell have a matching stack with the supernova cab. I think he got jealous from my GAS while he was gone and that I'm completely satisfied with my rig now.

Hah I dont know how I lucked out so well on that one. The ad was posted at 8:00am with a phone number and I had convinced him to take the ad down by 8:30. I was worried someone would blindly outbid me. I'm happy with it and plan to keep it, I'd feel slightly bad if I just flipped it for profit... but if it ever finds itself on the chopping block you guys will be the first to know!

nice snag! I have a friend who has the coils tapped on his guitar like that. It's a cool little feature.
