Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 11 - "Bath Time"

Like I said before, I don't want to use a dirt pedal.

Also, my D-180 works all right for guitar for doom sounds. Sort of. It gets just barely as overdriven as I want it on guitar.

However, the other purposes I mentioned for having a guitar head, it won't work at all for. It can't be used for both bass and guitar simultaneously, it's just one amp.
 
this thread moves so fast i didnt remember, I still say one of these

5 & 7 head down

EDIT: maybe not the 7th it only 50w, still think you could use a JMP on the low sensitivity to be clean-ish for the treble pickup

I thought of using my V4B for a Ric-O-Sound setup, but its barley a just guitar head for your needs
 
On the subject of More Speakers= More Awesome I need some advice and I`m sure you fine dudes can help me. Even tho I don`t "need" it,I`d like to get second cab(well third cab if you count my old Fender 115.). My rig now as it stands is a Fender 300 Pro head and a Fender 410 Pro cab. I`ve had the cab for a few years and finally got my first tube head(the 300 pro) about a month ago. It`s super loud. I`m totally happy with it. It`s more than I need. I`m not in a band right now and playing with my mates is on hold due to a new baby(not mine).
Having said that,I`d like to get either choice 1) another Fender 410 Pro(slant cab) to make a full matched stack,
or choice 2) a Fender 215 Pro. I`d like a matching rig but I won`t ignore a non Fender 215 as an possibility. I should mention that my old 115 makes weird pops and crackles once in awhile,so buying another 115 and stacking isn`t an option.


I`d really like to try out a good 215,hence me wanting the 215 Pro but after being on TB for a bit one thing I`ve learned is that you`re not being as efficient as possible if you mix & match cabs(although that`s up for debate by some). So I don`t think I`d end up using my 410 with my 215(if I get one) at the same time. I would however use both 410 cabs as a sweet stack. Ideally,I`d like to play through a bunch of speakers at once.

So,any thoughts,opinions or ideas on my best route for my future Doom rig?
 
Ok so I put the Dimarzios P/J pick ups in my Ibby. I bypassed the tone knobs and selector switch so its 2 volumes only. Sounds way better than the Ducans to my ears. Really brings out a clear P/J sound while I thought the Ducans were muddy. So that's the good.... the bad, I blew something on my Electric Amp. I had it cranked and hit the fuzz. It made some noises and shut off. Now it won't even power on. I'm thinking I juiced it too hard on the input and it didn't like it. So I'll be using my 4pro back up till I get it fixed. 4pro is sounding pretty good though
 
Not to hijack the thread but I wanted to share what the United Parcel Service elves left me when they visited today.

The action is a little high for my taste and I need to put flats on it but it sounds so good.

Still have nothing but love for my Squier Standard Jazz.
