We practice at my moms house. Pretty easy going, just have to stop by 1130pm. We used to get noise complaints from some neighbors (all my fault) but weve turned down since then haha.

Stoner/Doom Bassists thread 31: We never sleep

I'd be all over that ****. The industrial area is a big plus. I'm surprised the cops havent' shown up at our guitar player's place where we practice. In Albuquerque they'd show up every damn practice. The same neighbor was calling them every time. We'd take turns going out to talk to the police. We eventually starting timing it from the start of practice to when the cops showed up. We could play for an hour and 45 minutes. So we'd shut it down at the appropriate time, the cop would show up 5 minutes later and everything would be quiet. You could tell they were annoyed about having to come out there every week. Cops in ABQ have bigger problems to deal with..
I've never had a single problem at my work. When I was recording full time on nights and weekends in the warehouse, we'd go until 1 in the morning sometimes. We're talking about 100 watt tube guitar full stacks blaring at full volume for hours at a time and that sort of thing. I have CALLED the cops on someone else once though. There's a little "bar" (read: building that serves bottled Coors) halfway down the block that is only open on Fridays and Saturdays occasionally and once they had all the doors open and were blaring Ranchero music out of an obscenely loud PA at 10PM. It was bleeding through vocal takes, so I told everyone to take a dinner break for an hour. Then I called the cops, waited for them to come shut the place down, then we started up again.
Maybe when I say "we can jam at my work", people envision setting up in a cubicle with practice amps. I try to be specific, that I have a warehouse and a good setup, dunno what it is.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE VEGA!!!!!! I'll have a little chat with these impostors. And we aren't online yet, I just have some demos/recordings on my Soundcloud. As soon as we get a bandcamp or website set up, you'll be the first to know, because I'll probably make it.
My guitarist uses a dual rig setup like I was. A Crate Powerblock into an old 70's Supernova 2x12 and my old 70's SS Peavey head with a Madison 4x12. He uses a guitar he made, a modded Blues Driver, and my Carbon Copy.
Hes got an SG, a Fender Twin Reverb head, and an Ampeg 4x12 on layaway though, cant wait til he gets that.
Much better looking than mine..mine is also green and sparkly but a florescent green. lol
Got the Psilocybe, Looks Amazing! Some sort of sparkle - green paint. I tried to capture it.... pics of the board to follow...
In other news.. This looks nice. Don't think I need it $1400 dollars bad, but it looks cool!

A few of you mentioned Salem's Pot was channeling EW, and I am curious what other bands are like the dopethrone/self titled/Witchcult today EW? I am much more a fan of the thick as hell heavy, and actually get bored listening to endless jamming with ambient noise over it all very quickly.
Wounded Kings is another band in that vein. Maybe some Ramesses (featuring two of the original EW members)? I'm sure there's a ton more, but I'm blanking at the moment.
Man I gotta stop clicking links. One click and forty five minutes disappears.

Love the sound, but I am more comfortable with Ps and Js.
haha I posted this a page or two back. It does look sweet, but yeah, very pricey.
lol. Hey LOCOPELAND, are there any good music stores down in the Tacoma area besides the usual GC?
I really liked Sloth, and Warhorse gets another listen. I might pass on the decompose need to listen some more, but I also dislike most growled, screamed gutteral vocals, I know I suck and I'm hard to please. That cianide band, did they record that one one side of a street and the mic at the other? They have a heavy sound, but it's kind of lost because it sounds so set back, like If I was walking by a venue and heard it outside.

I want that natural SG with the bigsby, P90's and fun would come from that.
Why do people do pedal demos for a specific pedal, then have like 5 pedals on at once during the demo!?

There's a place downtown that's called Guitar Maniacs that has alot of really cool vintage stuff. Really fun store to go look at stuff, but some things are kinda pricey. There's also a place called Musicians Exchange in Central Tacoma. The last time I was in there, though, the inventory was kinda sad.
Other than those, there's GC and another big box type shop called Ted Brown in the same area.
Ever been down to Olympia/Lacey? There's a couple great shops down there. Music 6000 and another place downtown. Both have alot of really cool ****.
