Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread 29: "Please Huff Responsibly"

Any Tomahawk fans? They just released a track for their new album. Invalid Link Removed

It's okay, but I was hoping for some Mit Gas type tracks. Love that album.

their first record is ok.

i cant get into anything mike patton related aside from bungle. i missed the window on FNM when i was a kid so i just cant get super into it, but most of his work now is just him making stupid noises and calling it music.

and its a shame too, because california is one of my favorite albums of all time, and i wish he'd go back to making music like that, instead of farting into microphones and recording it.

I agree with this to an extent. Mike does some really off the wall stuff that IMO is unlistenable, but on the other hand, he's done alot of really awesome stuff, too. I really like the score for Crank 2: High Voltage.

hes a genius musician, and one of the best vocalists of the 90s/2000s. i just hate all the stupid noise garbage hes a part of. its mostly fantomas, **** is just straight bad.
 
Anyone know the story behind the volume drop in the bass solo at the beginning of basically/NIB? I wonder if he had a volume pedal that he was backing off during the solo. When the song starts after the solo he's pretty distorted, and you can hear the volume jump back up slightly after the solo. Maybe he cranked it back up to drive the tubes in the amp?

I'd always heard that it was just a dude adjusting the volume directly on the amp, as it was a little loud solo. Then someone turns it back up at the end. I always had the impression that Bassically was kind of an improv thing, not a planned track for the record.
 
Volcano all the way... Best decision, never looked back though I have been peeping the polite whispr for portable applications.

Also, micro pog is the way to go. I went from og pog, to Hog, back to micro pog. Best price was 139 on gc used so 150 shipped should be right about there.

Damn, I completely forgot about GC and used pedals. Their prices are normally a lot better than their basses. I just found one in Florida listed at $119 and was going to check on the Jeremy discount, but its already sold.
