Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Indy show went awesome yesterday. Wish we wouldnt have played last though, a lot of people basically left after hometown riffers Apostle of Solitude, who played right before us, finished. So we probably lost out of some merch sales that way...and I dont know how you guys/your cities scenes do it, but locals dont take the cover, we give it all to the out of towners...well the cover was split 5 ways and we were the only touring band...the AOS guys kicked us a bit more so that was nice but between our share of the cover and the bit of merch we sold we almost broke even for the trip. Woulda been AWESOME to come out a head but thats how she goes sometimes. It was blast either way.

Played some new songs and got good reactions from the people that stuck around.

Smelled something burning on stage throughout the set coming from around where my amps were, smelled em after every song and it wasnt coming them or my cabs. It got worse and worse as our set went on, but it was none of our shvt so we kept going. Finally when we finished and they turned the lights on, we found smoke pouring out of the stage drum monitor, we lit the midrange on fire...

Quick delay question - Aqua Puss or Carbon Copy? Seems like the main difference is delay time, with the CC having 600ms and the AP only 300. Anyone have experience? Is the extra time missed?
I've never used the aqua puss but it's really hard to go wrong with the carbon copy. It always sounds good. That being said I think that the next delay I get MUST have a tap tempo. It makes it a lot easier to get the delays to be musical. Currently I'm using the manic conceptual isiah delay. While it sounds great, using the expression petal to set rate is kind of hit or miss when your changing tempos mid song.
 
Ugh got drunk with my drummer then lost my keys so I kicked my door in to save my puppy from a night of soiling herself in her crate. Then I made out with my drummer....

Night of fail... Broke my door and my rule.... Now I have to have the land lord fix my door then pay the exorbitant pet deposit...

Just yesterday I got the number of a viet/italian girl who published articles while working at a mental hospital.

Arghhh it's all gonna be ok, it's all gonna be ok.

We normally give the out of towners a chunk of our take or all of it if we set the show up. We also ask the out of town bands if they would rather play before the local "fave" or last to possibly a smaller crowd.

Yeah, I've heard they're both phenomenal. Ok, then, what would be suggestions for good ones with tap tempo? I know the D-Seed has one. Don't you have a D-Seed, askrere? What are your thoughts on it?
