Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Morning dudes. Its been a long night; these massive orders feel a lot like I imagine a 30+person gangbang would. I am starting to get sick again. I came home yesterday and made it 20 minutes through an episode of Spartacus before I started passing out into my waffles. Proceeded to literally sleep until I had to shower and leave for work at 10. I felt like hell all day today and had to deal with a mexican being a cry baby because he feels like he works faster than some of the other guys. Buncha drama and bullsh. But as hefe thats what I get to deal with. Valley has a show this saturday, probably the biggest show we have played since I joined. No touring bands, just four local outfits, but it is sponsored by a local brewery and will also have Strange Donuts (local late night donut place) and a street food food truck in attendance for the celebration of the venues 6th anniversary. We are closing the night and I am pumped.



And she doesn't even know you can cook.

This is my go to cat call, "Aye girl, you cook?" Trust me... works like a charm.

You want to improve your forearm strength past what bass playing will do? Shuck oysters, and sling heavy saute pans for a couple hours every day. Or roll bread. @TurkeypillSLEEP is probably all forearm....

All forearm, but not from baking. In all reality we have machines that do 90% of the shaping that my product responsibilities require. However, lifting hundreds of sheet pans, hundreds of full bread trays and hundreds of pounds of flour, sugar, oil, etc. has made my back incredibly strong. My back makes it look like I actually work out, a lot.

I am very quick with a knife and can deal with the pain of heat and chemical burns like a champion as well. Those are my backup pickup lines.

Woop woop filled out the w9 in the interview, I am employed as a marketing analyst! Doing what I actually majored in exciting!



You can't afford an amp you probably can't afford life, or maintain one. Proceed with caution, especially loaning stuff to him. I wouldn't let him take it home.

Congrats buddy! Glad to see the job market opened up for you in a way that allows you to justify the expense of your education!

Also truth to the second part. I ain't loaning shite to a random guy. Last time I loaned an amp to a friend, he was supposed to have it for a week. I got it back two and a half months later after relatively frequent badgering.

Nothing says, "You're still alive" like some acid/base in your open wounds...

Tell that dude ¡dejaraste Las vergas! -quit dicking around

And thanks. I've been looking at jobs for about a week. Glad something finally panned out.

my favorite part of my major was getting assigned random companies and coming up with plans to make them more profitable. I really worried if I got hired by a company id get super bored just working for them. This company buys other companies and makes them more profitable, so it's like my favorite part of school, never to get old I hope.
 
Ack, just finished up a consulting gig on a historical rehabilitation project that I've been working on all week. I spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday on site at that creepy abandoned convalescent hospital, all day yesterday doing data entry and compiling my 180+ page report. Just finished writing up my cover/summation letter and waiting for coffee to arrive. My brain is friiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeed.

I want to make loud noises now. I need some venue for this.
 
Well, there goes my morning:

Good stuff, been getting into these guys lately. I am always torn by my love of roots music, and my need to rock.

Awesome!! Go get'em buddy!

And in conclusion, zoinks it's like haunted scoob.
 
I left work on my lunch break with my not-used-in-two-years Ampeg SVT-3 PRO head in the back of my car. I came back from lunch break with a sweet, clean early 1970's Pioneer SX-626 stereo receiver, a pair of Realistic Nova 7B speakers, AND enough scratch to pay for the mixing of the debut Hex Volt album. Great Success!! Yay craigslist. Now I have a sweet sound system for my garage, something worth plugging my new turntable into.
