Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part 82: Comfortable with Derision

I am the exact same way, kinda why this 2 piece thing is a challenge for me, playing guitar a lot more is helping that a bit.
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
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"
MCM...easy to remember, they're my initials.
Also just slept 12 straight hours after Forza drunk driving with Egg nog and whiskey...
G3 in the classifieds.

I saw a G3 the had a 5th tuner added to it to make a custom 5'er. The dude at GC was all "It's a really rare one!". I did not abuse him.
Half-retardded with goals right there. How can I properly destroy a vintage instrument, hmm, I know, one more string should do just nicely.
So no practice again tonight. Nobody's fault, it just happened. I'm still waiting to try out that new fuzz.
Maybe on Monday...

Hey you Minnesotans, any good shows coming up in the next month? Or anyone have shows coming up, up there? Im taking a trip up to the twin cities into visit a friend going to the U of M sometime after the 15th. If there's something awesome I'll plan my trip around that.
B-prac was fun last night. We set up a Tascam 8 (maybe 16?) track to record which was a new and pleasant experience for me. Recording practice kept me pretty focused while playing and on-point with effects, i.e. I used them as I might for a gig and didn't just causing chaos for the hell of it. That said, I was in a phasing mood after our recent phaser discussion here, so that made an appearance on most everything. 
The TFR was squealing something fierce and I wasn't in the mood to troubleshoot it, so I went with my Fender Sublime, which never disappoints.

Even the big gals get pulled out on the dance floor every once in a while...
Oh yeah! The TFR is a big greenie, too, but the Sublime is the big green b!tch. She's a staple on my board, even if she chews up an acre's worth of real estate.

The Fender Sub-Lime and my Ibanez Weeping Demon Jr are the biguns in my chain and even if I didn't love them I could never sell them as my Micah Chicken Neck loves to "control" those pedals the most, if it has a wheel, or a treadle, or a blue led he is down like a clown.
WE can update a classic!
What do big pedals, fat gals, and mopeds have in common?...
Plenty of great things! Look for an "Up the Mountain, Down the Mountain" show (best doom in the land!) And "the funeral and the twilight" is killer too....I'd link you, but I'm on my phone at work
Over-sized pedals are the best.
Besides the Sublime, I also have a Morley PWB, an old style EHX Microsynth (the big one) and one of those huge Digitech Whammy DTs. I used to use the big silver Big Muff before I got the TFR.
Haha, when we first started playing as Supervoid, people kept telling us that they "really dig our music", so we would use an audio sample of that part of that movie before we'd start playing our set live.
Glad you dudes dig the design. I love this artist and hope to use him again in the future. I think we're gonna do a preorder on bandcamp with several style options (likely both the grey and two color designs I posted) to get a good idea of how many we need to order. I'll keep yinz in the loop.
