Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Yeah, the winters are long and ****** - but oh man, the spring, summer and fall are INCREDIBLE. Lakes, rivers, hills, forests, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, swimming, awesome.

We have land in the driftless area (lots of hills and valleys, much of it forested), 40 acres of private forest that we use for camping, hunting, foraging and gardening. A few hours north is all semi-pristine lakes and forests. I can drive 4.5 hours and be at a secluded spring fed lake in a national forest with old growth trees. Not too shabby.

The former lady hailed from Eau Claire and had grandparents with a lot of property out in the farmlands and rolling hills. Current lady is from the Sparta/Tomah area. Also relatively rural country. As such most of my experience is with hmong people and rolling hill, glacial river/lake rural Wisconsin. The hills are my favorite part. It reminds me a lot of the country in Missouri where I grew up. Ozark foothills of southwest St. Louis.

Spent a summer at Ft. McCoy doing Army stuff and drinking Leinie's Red along the river in LaCrosse. Don't know what it was about that area, but I absolutely loved it. The rolling hills, friendly folks, good beer, and cheese curds. OMG, I'd do just about anything for REAL cheese curds. The ones at Culvers blow. Also Daves Guitars in LaCrosse is an amazing shop. I was tempted to move, but the GF(now wife) wasn't down for the winters.

I'm about that curd life. Also +5 to the friendly people and beer. Ex ladies family started and owned Walters brewery. Leiny was an eventual offshoot of Walter after it sold.

I don't need another bass. I don't need another bass. I don't need another bass. What I need is a bigger bed for more under bed case storage space.

@Pelham Bleu It's a Sword of Nines Tyrant Fuzz. High gain silicon fuzz face that works with a normal adapter. Only diddled it on guitar so far but it is the highest gain pedal I ever owned for sure, one track pony of Doom it seems, but that is what I wanted. Jazzguarbird still needs the electronics redone so no bass through it yet. It is super low middy though, so I think it will work with bass, I hope so. Trying to figure where to put it in the chain, it farts some of my drives out, so they need to go before it. It is wicked with my EQD Speaker Cranker right after it. Cheap too, $79 shipped from England. Took about two weeks to land. The builder was cool to deal with too.

Great GH practice last night, we only need one more song to have enough for our debut full length, would like to have that out before 2015 closes.

Did some board rewiring and actually using the FX loop on the Dunwich DI/preamp to lighten up some of the tap dancing. Starting to solidify what gets turned on where and when for each song. And getting better at singing and playing at the same time on one of our songs, only a struggle with a couple words in the verses. Next practice I want to actually start singing through the PA. And I would love to be able to sing that song when we play with Pelham Blue in laterish March.

We talking husky roaring, harsh barking or lush crooning vox here?

They've got some really neat sounding stuff.
The Satanic fuzz ritual is nifty. Sounds like a(good) fuzzy bit crusher.

Yeah he makes some wild sounding stuff. I probably should of bought the Altar Bass Fuzz since it looks like it has a master volume and I already had the ol' lady yelling at me for cranking it up and the Micro Terror was only on three with the gain set low to hear how much gain it adds to a clean amp LOL. Jonathan does custom work too. He said he has been getting a lot of custom orders from the US lately. I will probably pick up the Altar Bass Fuzz for shitz and giggles eventually.

I had the Twin Earth and while really nasty and cool sounding, it didn't have low end at all.
Now that Altar does sound nice. I just bought EQD Cloven Hoof and don't really need more fuzz.... Damn GAS. :D

Yeah I read somewhere that Jonathan said only two of his pedals work good on bass. That EQD Cloven Hoof seems like a great pedal from the videos I caught. There are so many damn fuzz pedals it's hard not to GAS. I would love to get that Black Arts Toneworks Black Sheep or a straight up Bee Baa Fuzz clone. I am flush from income tax returns and trying to control myself to spend it on the house and not gear. Got a hankering for a used Boss DD20 though so I might get that at least. Unless that new Mooer Reecho Pro hits the stores soon.
