Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis

Yeah... in the real world Ive played a number of shows with a 610 and a 412, or a 610 and a 215. overkill? NAH!
@mc_muench if it makes you feel better I am really interested in Mark's new 18" loaded cabs. He really loves the woofers used in them.
One day I will gig two 3620s, one powered by my Vulcan and one by my F800. Max will feel the vibrations in the soil, acknowledge, and be pleased.
Always good news! Not into the whole "creating a child" thing yet.
Noiiice. Really into this.
What Askrere said. I watched it, but can't say I was terribly pleased. They put SO MUCH effort into the costumes and what not and then totally frelled up the equipment side of things. Noel Redding's Jazz has a white pickguard on it, it should have been tort. When there's the scene where Hendrix jams with Cream, "Jack Bruce" is playing a bloody Fender Telecaster bass, the version with the big humbucker that didn't even exist until 1972. Ugh.
Pshhhhh, who needs small pedals? Gimme some big monster size ones, they store way more tonezzzzz in them. Plus, I think the Sublime is also smaller than my Parachute Wah. Now THAT'S a big pedal.
Awwwwww yeah, here's hoping that thing sounds as dirty as it looks when cranked.
So am I
My dream non-Henge rig is a Bear Amps 300 tube watt w/SS PVY pre amp pushing 2 of Marks 218s. A full time job and that may start to become a reality in 2016.
Im thinking about doing a HUGE gear dump.
Ive already got things on Reverb.. but Im really tempted to unload about half the weight I have.
dumb... maybe.

I've been selling off a lot of random gear and unused pedals lately - not much bass stuff 'cause I don't really have that much. Considered selling the LH1000 but now the passive input is acting up and I need to figure out what's wrong with it. Might just hold on to it as a backup, though the 2-pro has been solid.
Thinking about picking up a new dirt pedal - either the MXR/Fuzzrocious bass Rat that's coming out soon or the Moog MF Drive.
If I got the MF Drive I could get an expression pedal and do that awesome dirty wah/filter thing.
Or I could get nothing and be happy with the OD on the 2-Pro.
That amp has really killed a lot of GAS.
I should probably get a decent cab instead of more dirt.

I'm at the tail end of one myself, though it feels like it's about to cut a little deeper soon. There's only a few things left that I don't use regularly. Got my Traynor and a few pedals still up for sale. I've been considering unloading one of my bass cabs, since I have 3 that are good enough to gig by themselves. Just found out on Tuesday that the insurance company for the driver that ran a red light and totaled my wife's car was only going to admit 20% liability and we have to go to arbitration. So I had to empty out my gear fund again to pay down all the stuff we put on our credit cards when that happened, because we figured it was a slam dunk to get paid back as soon as the police report was released.
I did notice gibsons seemed to be legit gibsons, while all fenders were clones with no names on the head stocks. I don't know why as a music company you'd get wigged out about people watching a movie about a highly influential musician playing your gear?
And thanks. Apparently this amps easily modded into a tweed vibrochamp capable of more low end, and some good tones clean to dirty.
Most likely Gibson told them that they couldn't show any Fender logos if they wanted to use Gibson instruments. They are weirdly protective/combative/restrictive about their branding.

I have been digging the grind of the GK 400RB so much that I haven't been kicking on my dirt pedals that much. Probably trim them back some.
I'm considering liquidating my C rig. Dunwich Preamp > Crest Pro-Lite 2.0 > Eminence 3015 Dually. I still have the Faital loaded Dually, Mr. Grumpy when he arrives, my GK MB800 and my Ampeg 810 after that. It's a pretty solid rig all on its own, but I don't need 3 full size gig rigs...seeing as how I haven't even played with other people in like 9 months.
Bummer, but understandable. I was kind of hoping for a Mr. Grumpy > dual Dualies report.
