Stoner/DOOM Bassists Part 83: WHAT YEAR IS IT?

[DethByDoom]

Yeah I push my pre amp till it starts to break up. Then use various dirts/fuzz'. I LOVE how touch responsive my rat tail & demon is. I'm pretty heavy handed but that thing makes me a bit more conscious of my playing dynamics. Filters into the rest of the band.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

Yep, for normal aggressive tone I play over my bridge humbucker with a heavy attack. For cleaner parts, I just move to the neck pickup and play lighter.

 

[MICKUSS]

I never played clean until I started using flatwounds. Sometimes there's nothing better than a big, round, clean tone with flatwounds on a Fender. You have to be able to bring the DOOM with the click of a pedal though!

Round two of neighbor naughtiness! Now she says it helped her sleep better, calms her and she didn't get a headache, so she has determined I might as well continue the trend as I'm helping lol.

Now I'm reminded of John Redcorn.

Oh and high action, play over the fretboard. Hard or soft dig in or nails. Without a band and my gear in such a state of flux, fingers are the one constant variable. Pedals are always the same but I'm still waiting on my new dually rig so I can crank up and make some decisions about what will do what. Personally I really like dynamics. Maybe because shoegaze/post rock and the whole 90's rock "loud quiet loud" thing was always what I started playing with people first.

So John, are you charging her for the usual Spiritual Healing rates or writing it off as Community Outreach?

So is the first official date going to be a trip to the chip factory to eat a potato chip fresh off the line?

I'm banking on Lawnmower Convention / National Boggle Championship

HO-YEAH!

 

[eyeballkid]

honestly i was never in a band that could do dynamics til we started playing with our latest drummer. his goal in life is to build up and come down fluidly, and hes so damn good at it. its amazing how much cooler your music gets when you have a drummer that knows how to do it and do it well.

dont tell Larry that, itll go to his head!

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

I'm kind of kicking around the idea of trying to start a heavy blues stoner rock band a la The Heavy Eyes and All Them Witches. I realized recently that every single one of my bands have had pretty heavy metal influences, and would like to try something a little more bluesy...

It's more of a "friends with secrets" kinda deal. Not causing any "Dale" true harm, but we have several mutual friends who really want her bad, and it's easier to just keep it hush hush, than disappoint and lose our friends.

Max must too then

She did my dishes and actually made my bed while I was out grabbing the mail.

Taste the meat not the heat

More and more lately that style seems to be my comfort music, I love so many different styles of music, but heavy blues seems to be my ear palate cleanser. Plus I think my musician friends who play jamband stuff and sublime type alternative stuff would be willing to try this out with me.

They all do that...at first

My '75 Ibanez will do just fine...

 

[Blank_0101]

Jamband makes me want the Jambalaya and garlic butter bread at green mesquite in Austin.

It's like they put butter and garlic right in the blender so it's garlicky to the point of spicy almost. So goddamn good.

She lives 20 paces away so I can always just say go home

Oh and she digs on the stoner doom a lot.
