Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

#21,721
Happy Friday fellers.

Welcome RoadRanger! My advice is to haul the SVT around.

I've known my wife and her family since I was a freshman in high school. She dated one of friends for a couple of years, then we didn't see each other for about a decade, then she hit me up on facebook. Now we're married.

Before that - it was either women that I met through friends or at a show or a bar. I did my best work after the 4th beer mark. Don't talk about yourself too much, ask questions about her. Be nice, but not a pushover, be complimentary but not creepy, make 'em laugh. If they don't laugh at your dumb jokes or get your sense of humor keep moving and you'll find someone that's more on your wavelength. Oh and don't talk about how much of a b*tch your ex-girlfriend was. Lotta guys don't get that last one.

I've been married a long time so might be why but...I never needed a place or a way to meet women. Pretty much found them everywhere, but getting shot down isn't a phobia of mine so I just did it "spray and pray."
Something is bound to stick if you throw enough at the wall.
I'd holler at girls driving by (some stopped, honest) when I worked on stop lights.
When I planted palm trees, I'd talk to girls at the beach.
Every time I was told some girl was out of my league I'd chat her up.
I guess what I'm getting at was, be a man-whore. With respect of course.

I had a knock on my door the other day. Girl from the power company there to do a survey and make sure I know my rights for choosing utilities in MI. She was pretty cute, and made double sure to give me her personal number if I needed a follow up. Im involved so it doesnt do me any good, but that kind of sh!t falls in my lap all the time.

Wow, this thread has 90,000+ posts in it, ouch! Normally I'd read through before posting but that just ain't a gonna happen here :( .

Anyways I might join an originals Stoner/Doom Metal band that just lost their bassist/vocalist and second guitarist :( but found a singer :) so maybe viable. Their stuff sounds like Sabbath so not too tough to play. They have a set down and have gigged. All guys 40+ so no delusions about "making it" or touring.

Gotta say I'm not too keen on humping my SVT rig but not sure a pair of 4 ohm GK 212MBE's will hack it - I'd have to slap together a rack rig to power it if not the SVT head. I still have an old Carvin DCM1000 that can put 350w into each of these 600w rated cabs, I figure I can crank that without worrying about anything blowing up :) . I have an old "Tube Works" "Blue Tube" rackmount preamp I could use, or a Behringer V-Amp Pro, or just run a Behringer BDI-21 pedal.

I think a "P" bass would be fine, what do yous guys think about flats vs the more commonly used rounds? I have a "P" with active EMGs and flats as my primary bass presently but have others I could set up for this project. I don't much care for 5 strings - but I presently tune DGCF and could go lower if needed, or an octave pedal or ?

So meeting up with the sexican next week when she gets back from vacation.

As a single dude I'm curious how you guys meet/met girls. Most girls I meet through friends I don't find attractive or are taken. Therefore most girls I ask out are just perfect strangers I found cute and we somehow interacted or didn't and shot in the dark just ask (because you miss 100% of the chances you don't take). I just I think pickup lines are gross, but how do you start an out of the blue conversation without coming off as a creep or incredibly canned lol.

Anddd something/someone's on my porch slowly moving my gate back and forth and hit my table... sleeping with a pistol tonight. Skull mans back?

When I actually found myself in a situation where there were girls around; home, work, and the practice dont seem to have much traffic...Im a fan of cheesy pickup lines delievered in a satrical "spray and pray" way. The girls that caught the sacrcasm and thought the cheese was funny were generally worth the hawkward conversation that was about to insue. That being said I struck out like 99.9% of the time. If they made it passed the good ol, "how much does a polar bear weigh?" Id compliment them on something theyre wearing or their hair or I dig chicks with glasses, so glasses.

But I met lady friend on match, still during the free trial...ahhhhhhh yeah.

I lost all my fluff... Hell even more than I thought, i shaved yesterday after 4 months of not shaving and didn't recognize the face underneath.

Got an Interview today with a private equity group. Gonna be a marketing analyst intern hopefully, fingers crossed.

Never heard about this polar bear, care to share the punchline?


From out of highschool until two years ago I was with someone. And since then I just kinda see what happens.bi haven't really dated anyone though, just casual fun at my place with people. Find it rather boring tbh, but maybe I'm weird.
