Well today was going to be NCABD (new cheap-ass bass day) but the bank hasn't cleared the CASH deposit I made this morning. I don't understand that one. It's CASH. Going to have to wait until tomorrow.

Stoner/Doom Bassists thread 31: We never sleep
- Thread starter ampegfuzz

Awesome! I'll send you a PM as soon as the payment hits.
My .135 goes out of tune alot even in B and it warbles too which makes for a PITA tuning and setting intonation. I also like more tension on my strings (atleast for bass, i play a little undersized on guitar) so this should work out well.
You guys use some huge strings! I tune to B on a 4-string and I've been using .125. Plenty of tension. Guess the instrument makes a big difference.
I guess it depends on how hard you pound on the strings. I always felt .135 was too sloppy for B. I beat the ish out of them though.\
Here is a sweet little piece.

Am I doing this right?
I almost just spit Indian food all over my keyboard.
So yes.
circle K makes strings above 200 for guys who tune to Eo. pretty nuts, i assume you gotta have a special bridge and tuners to make sure it all fits, unless theyre insanely tapered at the top and bottom.
Aladdin is one of my fav older styled Disney movies.
I should see if the guys want to cover this.
Edit. Never played the game. I need to though.

Haha. That SNES Aladdin game actually kicked some serious ass. One of the best 2D side scrollers for that system.
What kind of bass are you using? I'm using a franken P and it's got usable tension, but too much warble and no tuning stability.

This is where I'm at right now. I finger bang em like I'm in middle school.
My flatwound strings arrived today. I really quite like them. The biggest difference is that the decade switch on my P bass now seems to do a totally different (and less obvious) job now that it isn't just removing high end.
I also had my first rehearsal with my drummer buddy outside of a (horrible) rehearsal studio yesterday. He played his V-drums, and I used the 'mixer out' on my Digitech pedals. All of this went into a powered mixed. I don't think we could get further away from the stoner ideals of huge tube stacks and 26 inch bass drums, but it works at the moment and we can control and record everything as well which is useful at the moment.

I had one of those warlocks as well up until a few months ago when i sold it to Sonny, great basses and the pickups arent too bad! Yeah i believe they are 34" scale length, like my P. horses for courses i guess when it comes to strings.
Interesting. I forget what brand I had on there, that can make a big difference too. Those pickups aren't bad!
Well guys I'm off to NYC, if anyone lives in the area we are playing at the Delancy in Brooklyn for the CMJ Music Marathon.
Our set time is 1:30am though. :scowl:

what set list was primus rolling with? was it another full album kinda deal or just an overall mix of their career?
