Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Might play bass with my old drummers rock band. It's got me thinking that i need a squier p bass with rounds. I've got flats on the ATK for the doom band, probably wouldn't be right for fast punkish rock....

Kind of surprises me...flats for doom, that is. I haven't run a set of flats in many years but I plan to put some on the old SX P bass I'm putting back together.

I like the old-school Geezer Butler-esque sound that comes from flats. Sounds awesome, but maybe not ideal for every situation.

Was thinking about the rock/punk band last night - I think I'll use the ATK w/ flats, but switch to the bridge pickup, use a pick and dial up some aggressive dirt with an OD pedal. I never use the bridge pickup, maybe it's just what I need for this band. We'll see.

Just my lonely MIM P Bass for now, although i'm gassing for a Carvin PB4.

No band at the moment, so i'm just using a Fender Bronco 40 for practicing and recording.

Really digging this album lately:

 
You know, every so often, I get a craving to get another fuzz pedal. TFR and Supercollider are always at the top of my list. Cloven Hoof was added today. But then I start looking at clips and the Pharaoh inevitably comes up. It always kills that GAS. Love my Pharaoh! If I ever get another fuzz, it's the Pharaoh Supreme. Just felt like sharing.

In other news, I found a local shop today that stocks Joyo and Earthquaker Devices! It's a few bucks more than Amazon, but it's an actual local place, so worth it to me. Might have to check them out for more stuff in the future.
