Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[mbelue]

I think @mbelue and I are a little miffed. Pricing on the MiniMega shows a $600 increase. After months of vaporware status, this is the final straw I think. If I get another regular gig and need a micro it probably wont be the MM1000.

Yep I am officially on a witch hunt.
It's lynching time.

That kind of price hike just kills the amp. Same thing with the VB-3.

Yep. I'm not buying. Dead to me.

I just dont get why they would price their project out of existence. After all this time in development, the project is doomed. I know Peavey is a big company, but even they have said that is PA market share. They are a name, but not held in the same regard as some of the other companies in MI amplification. Most people are going to look at this and say, "I can get an Ampeg/GK/Markbass micro for less." and go with that, regardless of feature set.

New word from bbybld: price listed is atypo.
It's 599.

The amp is now Jesus Chris, back from the dead.

I prefer thong line indentions in the yoga pants, leggings, etc., as long as they don't interfere with the rear.

All good now that I'm getting kind of partial to these D'Addario EXP. Jason from bass strings online has been waiting for one string to complete the order.

He changed it today to two 5 string sets and refunded me some money, didn't think of seeing if going that route was cheaper but it is... NAMM was a bit of a distraction. Plus any single order from D'Addario takes 12 to 15 days or some crazy ****. I'll get it setup before next Saturday.

We have another guitar player trying out apparently... I didn't get the memo. Well see how long this sets us back in time going to record. :/

Im still waiting for my labella flats for the bass vi...apperently theyre backordered or something, i thought bassstringsonline was suppose to be THE way to buy strings now.

I love this color Ric. I wish there was a white one with a maple neck... I'd totally need that.

I owned a 4003 that color for a hot minute. At least I think it was that color.

Freaking exhausted this morning. Got most of the stuff moved into our new house. My wife has so much CRAP. Legs are killing me from going up an down the stairs a million times. Now for a difficult 2 weeks of living with her grandma while all of our stuff is packed up and jammed into the basement and garage until she moves out and the house is officially ours.

Dig it and look at where those pickups are placed!!!

its been proven that all the tone you hear is produced by invisible elves housed in the headstock. Therefore extra headstock means they produce more tone.

Didn't even consider that. Poor man's Ric? Although I don't know about poor. No idea how expensive these would be, can't find any info. Wikipedia says Teisco is owned by Kawai which is a Japanese company, so who knows.
