Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 82: Comfortable with Derision

didn't Rushing already blow a fearful cab driver awhile back?

I read the threads (Toastfuzz's and the BAD fearful stack for sale) and im kinda surprised how silent the fearful majority is on those (talking about the rest of TB, im not trying to rile up CL400Peavey)

im a non-believer not because I tried them and didn't like them but I cant believe that anything could sound better than the ampeg 215 (v6b) with delta pros that im running now.

YMMV


i had two V6Bs with a V4 running into it, all stock speakers. when that V4 was working and fuzz was a runnin, it was pure boobies in a can. great 215 cabs.
 
7 degrees here this morning. I think we'll miss the worst of the ice storm.

In band-related news, I let loose with a rather blunt email about our recording situation last week. (Would have liked to have done it in person but everyone was busy with holiday stuff)

After some back and forth and details that I won't get into here, the plan to record new guitar tracks has been scrapped. A few new tracks have been recorded, but were pretty much unusable (hey, recording isn't as easy as just putting up a mic and hitting "record").

Kind of what myself and the drummer expected anyway. Oh well, onward and upward.

Happy Friday!

Sometimes you just got to let a person go full retardd and learn on their own. Glad you are back on track, pun not originally intended but like it now!
7 degrees, chuck that! Maybe Virginny ain't so bad, lol.
 
thats one of the big reasons i find the fearful club funny, because most of the threads i see about them is guys running them for anything but doom. aside from the few in here that do it, the majority are not slamming them with fuzz and massive volume. hopefully you get your stuff fixed/worked out tho, being amp/cabless is lame city.

Pretty sure the majority of TB isn't slamming their rigs with fuzz and massive volume. That's why we're in this thread.

Well, pulled the crossover out of the dead cab and I see no issues. I meant to take a picture of how I have everything wired up but that bottle of Canadian Club was calling my name. Need to take apart the rear jacks to see if maybe I wired something wrong or used too thin of wire. So far it appears the only issue is with the 12" driver, so maybe it was a lemon and couldnt take the heat? Then again I have been playing this stack for about a year now, maybe it just died. Ho hum.

The Hartke was running smoothly through the 2x15, so I'm taking that to practice next time.

I have this beat old Peavey 1x18 cab with a crossover to output the highs to another cab... if I can get this 4x12 guitar cab fixed up, I could build a 4x12 + 1x18 stack with some bi-amped flavor. Have no idea what it'd sound like.

I may end up trying to just sell the fEARfuls for whatever I can get and put that cash into another 2x15, do the Weedeater thing :bassist:

Max what was that website that we were getting cheap-ass drivers from? It was a 3 letter word thats escaping me now

Despite the fact I was experiencing MECHANICAL ERRORS in my rig, the most popular suggestion from the TB majority was simply to turn down. I was half waiting for someone to say "Jaco never needed a 1000 watt rig"
 
I'm glad things worked out the way they did, this is what we expected to happen. Part of me thinks I should have kept my big mouth shut and let this all happen naturally.

But in the end I'm glad that I did. I could have been nicer about it, but I'm glad I didn't just let him walk over myself and our drummer. Drummer was too nice to be confrontational about it, but I know he was pissed off big time. I was able to assert our position and let guitar player know that we won't be pushed around. So I guess in this case my big mouth and dickish tendencies were a force for good. I'll try not to let it go to my head.

10ish degrees here in the heartland, but it's windy so it's more like zero. There aren't any degrees.

Glad you can move past that road block!

if youre gonna go with 215s id suggest any of the old acoustic/sunn/ampeg cabs. Peavey made some sweet boxes but im not a fan of their speakers (their 218/210 cab is so epic, wish i had mine back). or you can man up do a 415 either the 408 or the sunn version which is very similar.

Man growing up in Northeast PA, I thought I lived in a cold state, but hearing you Midwesterners talk, I guess I had it easy lol.

The wind and ice are the real killers, not the temp. Soon I'll be putting on my cleats for that ol' wintertime outdoor running!

You sir, are crazy. I need to figure out a winter exercise routine but I can't imagine running in the cold.

I did just sign up to do volunteer work at a food bank warehouse a couple of times a week, should burn a few calories doing that. I actually kind of miss unloading trucks, stacking pallets, etc. I'm sure I'll get over that pretty fast, though.

Reminds me of when I worked at a meat market for a year. I often got the early morning shifts unloading truck. I don't remember if it was two or three times a week, but I do remember that it was a) also freezing and b) very early!
