Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Ghs boomers 115-55? Biggest 4 string set they have and have them price match to just strings to get a discount.
I know this is a popular topic but I'm too lazy to search this thread. I need to give my basses a nice setup before the studio next week. What strings are you guys using for C standard and drop A#? Brand, Style, Gauge? Something that can be purchased at GC and hopefully aren't too bright at first.
 
I use this thing, was going to recommend it, but it costs more than i thought it did. I got it from work so it was a better deal.

It's nice but you can put something cool together for way less. Those Danos are just begging for a vintage hard side suitcase from the 50s. Find a board, Velcro is cheap, done.
 
Hey guys, I saw Pallbearer Sunday night in NYC and was blown away by the tones. Anyone know what bass is being used here?

Hes using an old Acoustic 270 on this tour, a 270 that has the OT from my old Acoustic 833 power amp, I sold it to Bear amps and he fixed up an 270 for them...Guys Im practically on tour with Pallbearer!!!
 
Guess I'll order one once I figure out what to do about boards. I need two boards. Cheap as possible but protective as possible. Especially the Danos with their weak ass jacks and knobs. The dano board gets a cathedral too. The other bit is the stereo setup.

So any recomendations? Rondo boards seem decent and protective. But I want the cheapest best option. View attachment 598300

Does the local goodwill or salvation army have any brief cases for sale? Mount the pedals inside.

Fancy meeting you here.

It's an interesting pedal. There are certain points at the end of the knob sweeps where things drastically change which is kinda weird but good tones could be found in those regions.

The manual cocked wah sweep is kinda lackluster clean, I'll need to feed some dirt into it. Or maybe that would just be better tweaked some more, or it's more of a guitar friendly feature and not much use on bass.

My guitarist is always pushing my boundaries trying to make me a better musician which is awesome. Lately he wrote a new song in open G tuning which means I'm tuned to DGDG. It's like I've never ****ing played bass before haha.
One of the main reasons I play 5 is so I don't have to retune. I've played with guys in all sorts of weird tunings and I just make it work on my bass. But it's sometimes a task to figure out the fingering!

Hmm you guys are right on the dano suit case idea they do have that vibe. I like that gator board and bag (don't get the killer graphics hype in the ad though) I might get it for the other board. It had a smaller footprint and looks more in line with that style board.
 
Well, the TB guy contacted me today and it turns out that he actually shipped the amp on Monday, but the courier screwed up and didn't deliver the package.
It's in the pickup point since Tuesday. And the pickup point is like 500 metres from where I live. I'm going to get it in an hour or so. Fvckin UPS.
See what happens when the seller is a moron and doesn't answer his phone? Could have saved both of us a lot of nerves.
