Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

One on GC used, $150 right now...
I need to commit to the VT-RM rig for a while.
Was just messing with the toke machine pedal some more.
I wanted to do a crappy cell phone video demo to give an interested party some ideas.
Daughter has a science test tomorrow, needed to help her study. Priorities. I want to see this kid get 6 honor roll trimesters in a row!

so Day 1 I freaked out when she snapped and chewed on me. Now I realize she's supposed to, learning to judge pressure. Well damn as a dude afraid of dogs that's like the ultimate facing of fear. I let her gnaw me up until she pressed to hard then yelped, and put her in time out if she didn't stop. Time out is a corner with me back turned to her.

Dog language based training I heard on the youtube.
 
Yeah, found out from another forum that the switchable boost was almost NEVER turned off, so they just removed it. Makes sense and all, I was just wondering why mine was different when I knew RAG was all about keeping things identical as much as physically possible. Definitely not something to make me complain about my 400RB, that's for sure!

For some reason I love the word "gnaw".
 
Morning, Squanch. I watched a couple of foreign horror movies over the last couple of days: "The Babadook" (Australian), not bad, good pace and direction, let's call it an 8/10. "The Canal" (England), about the same evaluation and rank. this one does have a cutie babysitter in it though.

Took a few crappy pics, lighting is terrible in that room. It is still horizontal power switch but has plastic jacks I think the seller said 1991 for the year. You can see the footswitch jack next to the boost knob.

Morning Kawai. I fell asleep watching Babadook, not because it was lousy, but because it was late, so I need to finish that. I will check out The Canal.
I rented Cut the other day from Redbox, not monster, low budget, the idea is to scare people on film which of course that gets out of hand.

And I just found out about a non-horror bigfoot called Letters from the Big Man. I just want to watch it to see Lily Rabe in shorts and tights mostly.

Oh Voices was fun too. Anna Kendrick is a sexy little bite-sized front-seater IMO.

LOL that was my first thought too but I thought I would restore it to the normal ones for some reason.

Man that amp does have some sweet grind and that was at low volumes. I dimed the pre gain and went heavy on the boost and that was wicked. I like it even better set for a thick clean sound then cranking the boost, so the footswitch will be useful. Got it to play better with my pedals too, just EQ'ing issues I guess. Need to get the tapewounds off to really hear it though.
