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

It's a lot louder than you would think. My Acoustic 450 is only 170w and it get just as loud as my Orange. You just need to use the right cabs
Hey guys I was working on a tune for my band, It doesnt have guitars on the recording. But I thought I'd put it up for some comments. I used my Ric with Chromes through the bluebeard and a flanger at times. used my svt 4 pro with a 4x10hlf since I blew a tube on the EA. I recorded this after a few vicodin and an ambien so it sounds great to me but I need some good opinions I trust. Thanks dudes Just hit my soundcloud link in the ol signature. It's the very first tune. Please give me some feedback cause I've been really working on my sound a lot lately. I think with some mid heavy guitars fuzzed out it should be a good mix
Dixie had a diesel 215 and sunn 215, still quiet and i stood right in front of it. I think the concert might be that exception on "right cab". Now a Kustom K250-1 with a folded 18, Rip your face off!
EDIT: whoops, i thought a K250 was rated at 150w but the 250 in K250 actually stands for 250W. The k250-1 is one of my favorite SS heads.
Also are we talking about the same head dixie dave uses?

just ordered a 7pro since everyone is ranting about them. Ugh.. 600 bucks. Might have to sell the 4 pro
Listened to the track cosmicpimp2 and the only thing I have to say is maybe just work on the first switch from clean, flanger to fuzz, no flanger. Make it quicker, or even just leave it on the whole time. Otherwise its great! Should sound pretty dope with guitar...that's the dope talkin. 
I think bassists in Craptallica are thought of as "stage filler". Trujillo was a BEAST in ST & IG, but is limited to squatting and growling.
Infectious Grooves was one of those pivotal "I want to play whatever that guy is playing" bands that got me started up on bass. Can't hate on Trujillo for joining Metallica, he still gets to play the first 3 albums on tours, and for his experience he deserves a comfy gig. Better than being Celine Dion's new touring bassist (an equally comfy gig I'd imagine)
Not hating on Trujillo at all. He's simply kept under the thumb of Hetfield/Ulrich.
It's as if the death of Cliff allowed them to get "sidemen" to be in the band. Those sidemen were/are instructed how and what to play.
Also, I think being Celine Dion's bass player would be much less of a workout than Trujillo's getting.
Just sit back, play the nice slow tunes, and count the money. Show's over by 10, probably a nice buffet, and plenty of time to catch SportsCenter.

I suffered through their 'Some Kind of Monster' documentary, which turned out to be James and Lars whining into the camera for 2 hours while Kirk just had a puzzled look on his face like "why can't we all just get along?"
Metallica likes to change up their sound though, and like to write what "they" want to write, and considering their best material was written under a haze of Jagermeister in the late 80's and now they spend their off-time with their families and mansions, they're in a different place. They still make the music they want to make, just nobody wants to listen to it.
I've heard them compared as the opposite of Slayer, who continue to make pretty much the same thrash jams they did in the beginning (other than the weird hair metal phase.) I continue to like new Slayer material, Metallica not so much.
so the monolith cabs have arrived. havent gotten a chance to check them out yet but they are sitting my moms garage. i do know they are naked and speakerless but at least i have them!
my sister said the box was big enough and heavy enough to be two dead bodies.
im only like 35% worried thats a possibility.
well to be honest, the way i looked at this whole fiasco was wade undercharged me big time. 1450 for two fully loaded 612 cabs shipped is/was too good to be true. emperor would have cost about 1000 more than that, so by the time i get the speakers in and the tolex on, ill probably end up spending what i should have been charged in the first place.
