Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Now that is a band that is worth seeing. I've seen them twice and they blew my mind every time.
I work on a french flat top going full blast. Hard to get away from the heat once all the iron is at its max. I loose about 10 pounds each shift. As long as I have water, I can keep going. 40k comes out of working 6 nights a week, which is taking its toll with my day job.
40k is pretty damn good for a cook, but your at a nice place. I wager most cooks are like $9.50hr
And at 80k you should be banking, isn't it super cheap in MI?
Ya know...there are definitely more expensive places to live, but it's not as inexpensive as it should be, given the state of the economy.
Home prices are reasonable, but taxes and utilities add up.
Insurance seems more expensive here than other places I've lived.
But the job market is frustrating and depressing.
The old guitarist me and the VEGA drummer used to play with, his new band Lord Montegue, is under Nasoni records I believe. I remember him saying they make like 300 vinyl and give you 50 to do with what you please and make money off of, and they sell the rest for themselves. They repress another 300 when they sell out of their 250 and you get another 50.
Its an always on for me, gives a volume boost and bit of grit to my super clean Dunwich preamp/DI setup. Also used it to boost a VTM60 into JAWESOME territory for overdubs for Galactic Hatchet.
I live risky and dont use straplocks. I smoke but have been cutting way back, down to a pack a week. I partoke, not as much as i used to. I drink Wisconsinably. But I still think a Peavalanche is what will kill me.

Peavey content soon as I get home and out of the hellhole known as dallas.
I assume insurance is related to crime and weather, and you got both. You guys shot Clint eastwood

i haven't smoked in about 3 years, picked up vaping about 6 months ago and it's a great substitute while drinking. nicotine with no physical downsides, aw yeah.
If I wasn't dumping huge amounts of cash in to helping my parents then I would be doing very well. When my moms disability kicks in it will take a lot of stress out of the picture.
Just got some good news. We're opening for them in Houston!
Well that alphabass wasn't cutting it, think it needed new tubes and it weighed a ton, and no one wanted to drive to denton to get it. This guy always hits me up to trade stuff, but lives on the far side of dallas. Well I went by today as I was in that area, and he had tons of peavey gear, mostly guitar oriented, but still wow max would be jealous. Anyways I wanted a straight across trade no money spent (or I'd of walked out with a roadmaster or the classic 400). Well it was between a vtm 60 and this guy. In the end it's like almost half the size of the vtm it seemed like and is 120 watts so that's that!
I put Dunlops on every instrument. The ones on my SB2 are ~9 years old, the ones on my Parker are ~16-17 (oi vey). I have never had a set fail. But hey, as long as you're happy

I used to have Grover strap locks on multiple instruments but that chrome knobby thing eventually unscrews itself. I found these a much simpler solution and I haven't dropped anything yet:

Hey a guy wants to buy my demeter pre on reverb. He's in Canada and wants to know shipping estimates (willing to pay whatever).
Should I go to fedex or USPS?

It's damn near pristine as the chassis is concerned. It's not the original head box, but a home brew shortened peavey encore combo box or something.
The grovers must be Schaller copies or vice versa, look identical and I guess that's what I have.
Got my beta bass out of the shop yesterday. Spent the morning turn knobs and trying different combinations of speakers, slave heads, and cabs.
Beta running both channels. High gain / low gain. 80/20 mix
The winning combo:
beta bass > ampeg 610
Master out > VB2 > ampeg 810
Second place was
Beta > 610
A out > Terror > marshall 412 (dirty)
B out > VB2 > 810 (clean)

Listened to some live soundboard mix from the public radio set...that rig sounded great! Had a mic on an 18 and a Countryman b/w the Vulcan & 3620. The F800 was backup.
I've been really happy with P + picking > Sheehan OD into Vulcan lately; tons of attack. I'll click on extra dirt (VT or BB) here or there as needed. Last night I used the Ruiner and it was mui tasty.
As for straplocks, Schallers.

Just picked up a Line 6 HD500x. Been eyeing one for a few years, well the model before anyway. Should be fun
Now I should do something responsible and pay off some debt with the rest of my tax return...
Schallers on the Ric, Grolsch tabs on everything else.
