Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Turkeypills]

I use dunlops. Love em.

As for the speed, I take adderall daily and usually an energy drink. That + smoking I may make it to 40.

I put schallers on all my basses, and on all the straps I have. Best strap lock system out there IMO. The dunlops are cool, but if that retention spring fails, your bass is taking a dive.

I dont smoke, nothing against it, just isnt for me. I drink 1-2 energy drinks a day (easy to do when a case is $250) and drink a couple gallons of Scotch a year.

DOD 250 is a awesome pedal. I sold it because I got burried in the mix.

Beer on weekends majority of the time in social settings never alone (I fall straight asleep). Chopping down Trees is on pause, but that's my only real vice. Cannot Stand energy drinks, one cup of black coffee makes me jittery if I want it to, no sense in flooding my system with excess sugar, caffeine etc.
Aside from a two methods of tobacco use, I find it makes me physically ill and tastes bad. So it's largely ignored too.

Psychedelic experiences are awesome, but only once in a while, By no means a daily/weekly/monthly thing.

DOD 250 is a awesome pedal. I sold more be cause I got burried on the mix with it so I sold it.

Like it took out too much of your lows and left you with more of a guitar like tone?

 

[CL400Peavey]

I am running on about 30 hours of sleep a week right now between both jobs. The stimulant of coffee/energy drinks is keeping me moving.

On top of that I just love coffee.

Not doom.

I pretty much love anything Tony Levin plays on.

I pretty much love anything Tony Levin plays on.

Someone gave me his signature bass for free once, but didn't fall in love, just not a fiver fan.

I sleep, a lot.

Weirdest argument I've ever heard. Not that this is the first time hearing it.

That's what's known as a joke.

Could you shed some more light on that?
I like my B3K, but I'm not 100% satisfied and I thought I'd venture some more into overdrives.

Also, I think my DBA Fuzz War is going to go. I get buried in the mix with one guitarist. Maybe I should go for something non-muffy.

 

[CL400Peavey]

Reiner JGR, best overdrive I have ever used.

Its like seeing your girl out with another guy.

Sorry for my broken English only one eye open. Saying that it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for other people. My friend ran a late 70's JMP with a rat so tons of mids. With the Dod having good mids they just canceled each other out and kinda sounded like mush. But for how cheap they are i would say try it out. With a ric it sounded just like the tone from sonic Titan.

And his rig is bigger?

 

[bassboysam]

JGR and a 200 watt Dunwich power amp....that woud be amazing.


on a sad note, I'm selling the SVT. Unexpected bills...maybe I'll just find $2000 on the street and not have to sell.

you sold him yours??

JGR and a 200 watt Dunwich power amp....that would be amazing.

I am digging it with the ProLite 3.0. Effortless power.

That blows dude. At least there is hope of finding an SVT again at a later point.

you sold him yours??

Yessir.

 

[D.M.N.]

how do you guys do your guitar straps? straplocks? grolsch beer seals? screw it directly onto the guitar with a washer?

I live life dangerously, no straplocks of any sort. But only because I only have one strap, so I rotate that through all my basses. When I pick up another, I'll use the figurative ton of grolsch caps I have for home brewing to secure them.

 

[ampegfuzz]

Wow didn't know you sold it EBK. And Sam I say sell it while it's running. It's given you so much grief plus you have other amps. I think of selling mine from time to time. Still got that sweet spot for my 800rb.
