Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

#25,521
Sorry, skipped over the "automatic" part. I had to unplug the automatic parts on my turntable. I forget the exact behaviour, but something like yours, some sensor was busted and the auto motor was going berserk pushing the tone arm one way or the other.

I took the thing apart and figured out how to unplug the motor that moves the arm. Now I have a fully manual turntable, and have to pick the needle up myself, but at least it plays.

Two guitar players showed up to jam tonight and it went pretty damn well. Nice guys, good gear, they can play and have lots of ideas. Got one song down and did a couple of jams that sounded really good for a first band practice. One in drop A that sounded like Floor fighting Melvins at their most sludgy. The 2-PRO just sounds heavy as ****, it LOVES the Palmer Bazz. Far and away the fullest, dirtiest, heaviest, eyeball-juice-vibrating bass tone I've ever had. I can't believe that more people arent talking about the drive on that amp. I run it dirty, with the fuzz set very low on the Bazz and it's magical. Other dirt pedal just ok, but not as good.

All tube amps in the room, one guy had a HSS strat into a JCM800 half stack with a multi fx unit. Second guy had a Gibson Explorer into Hovercraft something or other with a Mesa cab and a serious pedal board with a vintage big box Rat, some strymon, earthquaker and a couple i didn't recognize

That new? MXR Sub Machine seems pretty cool. Reminds me of the Slash Octave Fuzz except it doesn't have a knob for the Octave Up like the Slash had. But this would be easier to control the octave down with your foot since it is on the end. I should of kept that Slash, that thing it was up there with the Octron. Yeah I am missing analog octave, the EHX Pitch Fork is cool on guitar but sounds cheesy digital on bass.

So far she just lays out inside, outside once she accepted the leash is law we ran around and took a dump.

I got a massive cage for her little self too. Off craigslist! Half the cost of the petsmart one and brand new. So she's got yard life, house life and her cave.

What a sweetie! OK, I'll give you my two cents:
1. Pick up her poop on walks. People who don't are not doom and turd-like.
2. Keep making puppy play dates, the more socialized she is, the better.
3. And heed KZR regarding chewing.
4. ONLY let her play with toys YOU have chosen. No shoes socks, etc.
5. Don't pull things out of her mouth, dogs can easily associate pulling with playing. (No tug of war.)
6. Did I mention pick that $hit up outta my yard?

Yeah. I am helping my mom and step dad. My dad hasn't spoken to my mom in 15-20 years.

Now, tell him to drive that like it needs to be driven. Nothing more sad that a nice car puttering about at low speed. And start saving for tires.

Tell you what, I had to get off his insurance when I was in college. He has too many speeding tickets for it to be affordable for me to be on his policy.

How do you remove something from her mouth then? She chews a bit but I stop her always. She nibbles on me a lot, apparently that's how she learns to be gentle I read I should just say ow if she adds pressure.

No barking ever so far, cried a little bit when first crated then stopped. Have a friend checking on her at lunch.

Slept with me all night. Minus pee breaks

Good question. I've never had to train a puppy for that, but have always been told that by trainers. I would get thee to Google, young sir.
