Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Blank_0101]

Out of every piece of equipment I've sold I probably miss my Longhorn the most. I tried both flats and rounds on it. The flats seemed to bring out it's uniqueness most.
Really cool bass.

Mine came with rounds and was really spanky and unique, I figured flats would turn it into thump, but I bet Chromes would be cool. At the time I had it I had a different peavey musician head, and a 1x15 and that setup did some Really cool geezery kind of tone. Rick-o-sound longhorn would be neato frito

I must admit that after latest acquisitons, I'm completely GAS free. AND pretty broke Probably gonna move a few pedals I don't use plus old combo amp and the Squier PJ with flats I stopped using. Only problem is, it turns out it's easier to buy a lefty bass than to sell it.
I'm pretty much content with my setup right now. It's as close to the tone in my head as I can get at the moment.

Had a proposition to play in a band from a guy I used to know. But it's probably shanties, pretentious radio friendly punk rock or other shvt like that, so I'm gonna pass. Plus, the guy's a douche. A good multiinstrumentalist, but a complete and utter drama queen and a douche.

May 1st is a free day here, but guess what: the weather was great the whole week, today it's raining cats and dogs.

Shanties! What you gonna do with a drunken sailor?

Ah, well played. I'm hopped up on meds today and not in the soundest of mind.

Gerdammit I wanna be hopped up on meds too!

Rip the Eagles and Clapton all you want but leave Bob Seger out of this!!!!

There was a time Bob Seger might have been cool. Then he became a Bob Seger tribute act.

Good luck Joe, we have a safe word here that means run. Fire extinguishers and desk projectiles may throw a shooter off.

I'll never know why, but the code for hide after 9/11 in my primary schools was "*my name* please bring the stapler to the office". Then whatever teacher I had would joke that I was to go off with a stapler and be a hero/martyr.

...holy balls - apparently Solstafir is going to be in madison tomorrow with Ancient Wisdom.

Not really familiar with either band, but was just reading JJ's (The Obelisk) roadburn writeup about Solstafir and he had a lot of good things to say. I'm think I'm going to have to check this one out.

Did you grow up in isolated area with failing crops? Were they feeding you lots of fresh fruits and grains and anointing you with fragrant oils?

New Weedpecker album just came out on bandcamp.

Thanks Laz, this is a solid band and their first release is also great.

That was 3rd period

NPD!

Postman was bearing gifts today. Marc from StoneFly Effects sent me a Grizzly Fuzz for the band to try out and my new bass strap from Couchstrap finally arrived being MIA in the postal system for a week.

Where's the strap?

Builds nice at the end.

Solstafir is pretty OK. They give a good show.
There's a huge hype on them in the net for some reason. It's not like they are something mindblowing.
For me they are kind of metal Sigur Ros.

Yep, was just listening to that. Not bad.

Yeah, they seem cool, nothing earth-shattering. It's not often that an Icelandic psychedelic/gothic post metal band comes to Madison Wisconsin, let alone to my favorite dive bar that's less than a mile from my front door. (Also I worry that no one will show up and that will make the Icelanders sad so I want to be sure and support them).

 

[Muddslide]

I helped a dude out on acoustic gig at one of those new age churches(his sister-in-law was hot and I was hoping to hit it, sell out on my part)...

Look, dammit. No shame in selling out when hot sisters-in-law are involved.

Cheeseburger is the code here, though we joke too much and ruined it, so probably have to yell Cheeseburger for real Run Run Run.

Skál! Wish I could go. I gots a whole side of the family in Iceland I've hardly met.

These codes are goofy lol. Probably have 5-10 fatties think there's free food outside.

But really if I was on a rampage, how dumb would I be to think "cheeseburger" or asking someone to bring a stapler to the office isn't a code about me lol.

Funny thing is a few years went by and when I was dating rich but stinky privates gal and we were at a local spot, I left to go to the bathroom and hot SIL happened to be there, saw me and got all close, grinding me while I crossing the dance floor towards the bathroom. It was hard to not stay on the dance floor with her bedroom eyes and moves but I was already getting the ol' Stink Eye. Timing is everything, already wanted to ditch stinky, and would of liked to diddle and dump SIL since she was always a flirt but aloof and I knew that would never last.

 

[Muddslide]

I have no code word. No safe word.

I want it to be "yellow" and I want to use it when I need someone to help me feel secure.

As it is now, if chit goes down, you'll just see a Muddslide-shaped hole in the wall.

Yeah the code yeller is just definitely taking the first shot anyway.

When I was a guard, all we had on us was a whistle. I used to joke if shite goes down there is no need for the whistle as you will hear the wind whistling through my hair anyway...

My old coworker got me into them. The album I have reminds me of Fugazi
