Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I like, but not as much as their early super occult stuff.

I know I've heard the last album, maybe the one before. The only stuff I've heard from them is all the very moody/proggy sounding stuff. Was it instrumental before? I honestly can't remember. I've listened to them a bunch over the past few years, but I don't own any of their albums. They just pop up on doom/stoner/sludge centric blogs, usually the Euro ones.
 
New torche fvcking rules

Trying hard not to groove too hard at my desk. It's brilliant.

Still frozen so I don't start work til Thursday.

Had an epic dream that I was the secret boy King of England during WWII and had been living in the pacific to avoid the blitz, flying around with two friends in unmarked planes avoiding Japanese.

Then landing on a naval base, I realized I should experience and be a part of the war. So I got a sawed off enfield and took part in a raid to save some prisoners with John Wayne as my commander.

Well I shot a big snake on the trail and Marion expressed his disappointment and I woke up... No raid for me :(

Why are you not writing this poopie down and selling screenplay ideas?

@DethByDoom posted this on FB. It is spot on.

hahaha, I only cooked for a year or so, but yeah, I mise at home, I say "behind", and I roll my eyes when people say they have a stressful job. Of course, being in the Army probably accounts for most of that last one. If no one is shooting at me, or is in danger of dieing, it's really not THAT important, is it?
 
2nd input of the effects channel on the musician, everything turned 6 (trem off) so 666+666+666 is great for fingers, nails, clean or dirt and with reverb.

Yup every Peavey I own is run at all 6s, or at least it starts there, maybe tweaked a little.

Its riffs>vox on the first one, I like the rawer production. Less pop more satan overall.

I must have missed something, eBay happened to Mr. Grumpy?

Still waiting on the head shell to get built for Mr. Grumpy. It should be soon, Nick sent me a picture of some progress on it recently from Mammoth. I'm getting some Dunwich pedals to do demo clips on soon. Other than that I haven't been playing music. I quit looking for drummers after a year of no luck and I haven't had any motivation to write anything at home lately. In kind of a slump I guess. A friend hit me up about working on a project recently, but it's nothing stoner/doom related unfortunately. Once Mr. Grumpy gets here and I have a chance to play some loud jams by myself, I might get inspired to start writing solo material again.

I feel your pain Corey. In April it'll have been a year not in a band.

Nothing but flakes in CL responses. I'm going to go jam with the new drummer on Friday. I guess maybe we'll do a two-piece? Is it weird to have a lead singer with only bass and drums?

I can't believe it's so shaging hard to find a guitarist.
 
I spent most of a day at the WWI museum in KC once...fascinating. I agree with your post about the lack of movies covering WWI and I'll add that the US wasn't a major player until the end so we didn't even do much in the grand scheme of the war. That translates to less awareness of it generations later. Meanwhile, US-ran film industry never passes at an opportunity fir self-congratulation for defeating Nazism.
Ironically, though, the USA made a lot more difference to the defeat of Germany in WWI than in WWII, despite much shorter involvement. The USA came in when Germany had just gone from fighting a two-front war to a single front one and essentially stopped the momentum of the last German offensive (which had been taking quite a bit of territory, compared to the previous few years). The main difference the USA made in Europe in WWII was shortening the war, and our involvement resulted in a lot less of Europe being in the eastern bloc after WWII than otherwise would have been.

Hell we used to get -40 or lower in chicago with the wind... Its not all about latitude.
Indeed. Some of the brutal weather in the USA is actually in the Dakotas. Coastal areas tend to experience less severe winters than inland areas, for the reason mentioned... the ocean tends to act as an insulator of a sort.

I'm not big on European history, but if anyone wants to discuss the social constructs of the Incan empire I'm your guy.
Awesome.

I wanted to write a concept of Mayan history, then Xibalba came out. Some of the rituals make the Egyptian ones look like wimp stuff.
Egyptian religion was not particularly bloodthirsty compared to other ancient religious practices (even if they did practice ritual masochism and scarification). Then again, in the ancient world, Egypt was kind of an ideal type of area, as at least at the time, the Nile was very predictable in its patterns, usually flooding the same amount every year, so agriculture was relatively easy and natural disasters were few... so, among ancient deities, the Egyptian ones tend to be mostly pretty chill, at least compared to Minoan ones (which demanded ritual human sacrifice and cannibalism), the Mesopotamian ones, or the later Greek ones. Or, with the Americas, the Mayan or Aztec deities.

The history of the new world is one of the most depressing topics I've ever read.
Strictly for its brevity and lack of depth.

As many unique cultures as Europe and the middle East with little to no surviving knowledge.

My predecessors suck.
Yeah. :(

A continent spanning epidemic that wipes out 90% of people living there will do that.

Somehow I skimmed over talk of a SCPB. I have now caught up and GAS re ignited. Also picked up quite a haul this weekend. Picked up a late 60's gibson humbucker for cheap, a tiesco bass for a bud and snagged a tech 21 RBI on the cheap. I need to start dumping some stuff. Wish they would put that dang train I from where I love to chicago so I can go bass shopping for real.
I want a single coil P-bass with the pickup moved a couple inches towards the bridge.

Oh wow, lol. That's amazing.

I hate smug basturds that quote old PA myths. I can just see the hawaiian shirt and blues lawyer rig.
Ugh. Where is this thread of people being stupid?

That thread is tiresome. I just can't let the idiocy go.
They can keep posting crap and I'll keep responding with insolent quips.
"I may be beneath you, but nothing is beneath me."
Who are these people?

No. just dumbasses quoting the need for 1.5-2.5x your cabs power rating needed to run it properly.
1.5-2.5?

What the shag for? I'd prefer about that ratio... in the other direction. As in, a cab with a power rating about 2.5 times the output of my head.
