Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I only know of 6 Vulcans internet wide. This thread owns half of them.
In reference to my previous inquiry about Peavey guitar gear: any info or advice on a Peavey Supreme head? I've done a bit of a quick look and it's a toned down version of the XXL or something? Anything will help, and thanks again! Now for cabs...
My amp blew a fuse tonight. Luckily the bassist from Bloodmoon is a stand up guy and let me use his for our set. New drummer was solid, though.
It's a solid state head based on the transtube technology, basically a very loud bandit.
What's your bass amp, a 400rb? I'd play that pushed with dirt before buying that... Though my first amp was a transtube rage 158 pushed with a fabtone, and I didn't judge it. I played that until I stupidly tore it apart to paint it orange like those "orange colored amps" I'd seen people play on lol.
My friend used krylon, it was cheap, but gross. If he actually tried and followed directions I bet it would be "ok"
I'm not a car dude, but It would really depend on what your plan for the car is and how much of the car you plan to paint.
I bet if I traded for the vtm 60 I could trade again for a vtm 120... I'm sure someone regrets buying such a loud amp for their Judas Priest cover band and wants the lower wattage one.
Neurosis and Sepultura. Also Dragged into Sunlight to some extent. Also my band at times.
Yep... I think the song "Through Silver in Blood" goes on for about five minutes before the drummer even really hits a cymbal.
Dude, nooo. This is all bad.
I want to play in Europe.
It's always funny when we're on bills with power trios.
Form a band with another bassist?
Yeah, when I learned that, my GAS for one vanished.
Same. I can work around the Fender tone stack on my amp because of the graphic. The Meatsmoke doesn't have that, though. For my purposes, the mid control may as well not even be there.
I wonder if they still do custom stuff, though? Still, if I was getting a custom tube amp, it would probably be a Dunwich.
What Dictator cabs you getting?
I hope you guys can do a show here eventually. I was a bit disappointed not to see your name on the California Deathfest lineup.
Mountain of 1x8s? Endorsement deal with Phil Jones, then?
I am still playing a Peavey, but not through a Dually.
I like some older country. Newer country just sounds like pop/rock with a fake Texas accent to me, though. Most of the time.
Back when Ibanez made basses I like. I miss their passive basses and their old body shapes.Hah! I actually owned an '84 at one point. Great bang for your buck P-Bass.
Doesn't need to look great. Mainly trying to make it look more derpy/unique. Also just needs to hold up decently. I'll hopefully have the car long enough that its resale value will be almost nothing by the time I get rid of it anyway. It's an old minivan. I want to paint the whole thing, basically. Weird colors.
...And the drummer cancelled on us again.
I'm still hoping it's really an emergency and not one of gazillion of his stupid excuses, but we haven't seen the guy for almost a month now.
There's a saying that everyone has an a$$hole and an excuse. Well, he must be some kind of mutated superhero with a billion of a-holes.
We're starting to search for a replacement. Enough is enough.
Here's hoping he'll come to his senses and we'll be able to practice every week as we used to as we don't really know many musicians. We'd probably had to go on a hiatus and pretty much start from scratch.

I have seen people looking to make that exact trade before. Not recently, granted, but the 60's are definitely not as proliferated as the 120's.
Yeah to be honest the scoop doesn't really bother me much because I play in a 3 peice with a guitarist that uses a ton of mid boost. I have plenty of low end to be heard. Im pretty sure that they still do custom. I think I saw a meatsmoke with the skyhammer pre section in it for sale awhile back, I wonder what that sounded like. Despite the handicap of the fender tone stack I still love my meatsmoke.
Well this weekend was killer. In two days we managed to track our side of the 12" we're doing with Ripple. Even just listening to the unmixed tracks I think this stuff blows away anything we did on Filaments. Now for the worst part, waiting months before anyone can listen to it 
Recording with a click for the first time actually went really well. Proud of my drummer for nailing it after 20+ years of never playing to a click. Here are some photos from the weekend.

Managed to get some workbench time yesterday - got all of the front panel controls of the Altec power amp removed, used the face plate as a template to drill new holes on the chassis and re-mounted the controls and faceplate to the front. Also added the 1/4" input jack. All that's left is to wire up some speaker jacks. Trying to decide whether to Speakon or just cheap out and do 1/4". It's only 100W so it's not like I need speakon. I'll take some photos tonight - it's looking pretty decent.
It felt nice to do something that wasn't work or school related for a couple of hours, even if it means that I'm behind on school work now. Oh well, that's what Monday night is for.

Didn't know the Carvin was also in a green shell, that looks great. @Lazarus.Bird
FN Sexy Bari!!! I want to build one with a telecaster body and strat headstock. I am always trying to find dirt pedals with higher gain because I just play at bedroom volumes and standard tuning. I dropped my guitar to C standard this weekend and man my dirt pedals really came alive. Felt kind of duh from listening to this music, hanging on this forum, and never bothering to down tune LOL. Strings felt like noodles so I think I want a baritone scale length instead of just using heavy strings.
Wired up a full proper three amp PVYHenge last night, with the biggest pedal board Ive ever used!!! Im gonna be a tap dancer!!!...Phase Wizard controls it all. Vulcan straight in as always > 218. BF2 > Rat > Muff > Bass 300 > 810. Lucifuzz > DOD250 > Echo Shifter > Dunwich pre/800 Booster > 1820 + Folded 18.
Its 99.9% complete, just waiting on Janitors footswitch extension...

Jeezus, Mary & Joseph in a tiny canoe that could cause some havoc.
Yeah... playing in a band with sometimes three guitarists, I really need to cut through. Though I had a midrange heavy tone even playing in a trio, too, as there I was performing the functions both of bass and rhythm guitar really.
