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

Thank the venue and headliner, name drop your band and any other bands on the bill, announce the last song and remind them to tip their bartenders. That's the standard fare from what I've seen, I hate bands who talk to much especially to each other between songs, having an issue and having to work it out is one thing but your not at the jam spot your on stage.

Behringers boxes are pretty weak IMO but i have to admit i was pretty surprised by their reverb pedal, didn't sound half as near as bad as i expected.

Thanks for the advice. Thank everyone. Tip bartenders. Announce when we are almost done. Got it!

Yeah, the one thing that makes me leary about Behringer pedals is the case (although my BDI21 has held up for a few years now). How hard is it to transfer the guts to a metal box?

Not hard, but you will need a new footswitch and most likely new pots as well as all those are board mounted in Behringers. All you gotta do is de-solder them mount the new ones and run wires to the old locations, relatively simple really, if you have soldering experience.

Don't forget to mention your band's name. I can't tell you how many times I walk in to the middle of a set and have no idea who is playing. And often I never find out, because the band doesn't repeat their name before the end of the set.

(Better yet, get a banner or something to hang off an amp. Or wear your own tshirt.)

I don't think that would help much. How many times have you looked at a band, saw one of the members was wearing a band T, and assumed that was the name of the band? =P

Yeah, I was just kidding about that one. :)

But seriously, I think every show I go to there's always at least one band who remains nameless. It seems especially silly, since your name is your biggest marketing tool. It seems like you'd want to really associate that name with your actual product (your live performance).

Did anyone like the band name Thunder Smoke?

Do you think I could sell a carvin neo 2x10 combo, with the head ripped out if the head was a 2 space rack area? there is a guy selling a BX500 combo and I just want the head.

Also would you be pissed if someone shipped like a boss pedal in a padded envelope?

How did you do it? I read a thread where a guy cut the ball end off, then like crimped and soldered metal connector pieces to the new measured ends. He said it worked, but I'd think I'd tune up and rip the solder.

I have a SS SX p-bass that I'm using with Chromes. All I did was to enlarge the bridge hole for the string, cut the strings to length and tuned. the tuners are standard "open slot with a hole in the bottom" style.

I've had them on for a week or so, and have not had any diffculties with tuning or tension. Note: I'm in Standard tuning.

Kind of figured, but was checking. I got a pedal one that way and it was fine (big old DOD), but yea guess it wasn't the nicest way to deliver.

I ship them in flatrate boxes or if not (cant fit) then a well packed box the post office has lying around. Bonus at uconn is that I can ship **** for super cheap like 4 -5 bucks for a pedal

I like the name Thunder Smoke, but I think it is cooler as one word, ala Thundersmoke.

And yes I would probably be pissed if someone sent me a pedal in an envelope haha.

Thanks

And Matt, yea I'd see a roughed up boss pedal as Ok, (sub $50), but I'd never ship ship boutique stuff, and cheaper plastic pedals or like my Qtrons thin metal case, it's better to just ship in a box always.

Oh, can I have multiple accounts attached to my paypal account?
