Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 15: Mr. Personality Strikes Again.

Hopefully Mr Personality calms down when one of his custom jobs actually gets finished and doesn't explode as soon as he plugs it in.
I can do alot with just a handful of pedals. The delay is actually super useful, just adding a tad of echo for long slow Electric Wizard-y runs. Rusty Box successfully kicked off the VT Bass v1 and PD7 od. And a dude is offering my a Moog LPF + cash for my Ibanez 6'er, that big wooden chunk may go where the wah is now sitting.
And Laz you need to try out my pedals I dont have on the board pronto so I can get to tradin that shiz outta here! I have enough pedals hoarded now for a decently epic sale thread.

Yeah, didnt get to try it at high volume, I'll give it a whirl tonight. Seemed to work ok to me, there was alot of electrical tape in there and I pulled it all off / reapplied it, and now it works, so maybe something was shorting out before and its insulated now. Hard to tell.

So I was going to immediately rule these guys out (their required specs are kinda ridiculous) but then I remembered how painful it is to find people on CL, and may give em a shout.
I agree with Laz, who just now summed it up as "On one hand they sound decent, on the other they sound like raging f***ing f*****s."
Cuz they may just be frustrated with the quality of responses they're getting. Oh well, you never know til you meet in person, and they have songs written so maybe a jam would result in one of those clouds-parting-angels-singing moments that I haven't felt with a new band in a few years now. Or they could be raging f***ing f*****s.
How great is it though that you have to have a big cab and tube head, but you're not allowed flip flops and owning a vehicle is merely optional.

No shaved head and a goatee? Well laz is out
. We want you to "be able to close your eyes and lock into the groove". But "were not stoners"????? No ball caps, I bet they wouldn't turn down Dixie Dave if he came knocking.

they seem kind of lame, the requirements are ridculous, for a band that doesnt want to be famous they sure do care about image.
having said that, it could be that they have gotten some really bad responses and are trying to "weed" people out.
I say give them a try, you never now, worst case you only jam once.

Well I'm just as picky with who I'll band up with, so if I meet em it'll either be perfect fit or obvious waste of time. Like if I hear things such as: Tuesday morning practice, my girlfriend's our manager, can I crash at your place tonight (yeah, guitarist asked me that at an audition once when I mentioned I had an apartment bigger than his Dodge Ram quad cab) then I'm out.
You should reply that it doesn't take going to the studio to whip out your 7". Just some dinner and a movie usually works. LOL! (and you can substitue the size to fit)
How ridiculous are those requirements? Made me wonder if this was for real or not. Must have a American/Vintage 4 string? lol. No ballcap. No shaved head/goatee. Who are they trying to recruit? What if you're bald? Sorry. You could be Scott Reeder, but you better not have a hockey jersey... wow!

YES! it's their own fault for listing such ridiculous requirements.
So how often do you guys see doom craigslist ads? I've only ever seen two. Mine and a drummer I played with for a month before the guitarist moved to Cali.
Supercollider in the classifieds if anyone is interested.
