Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Squanch72]

You could probably toss a different pickup in that bridge position without too much trouble anyway.

Yeah, true, I still dig it on it's own, plenty grindy, and it blends well with the neck pup.

Ate all the mini cupcakes left in the shared kitchen area at work then took all the TP that wasn't locked down.

Feels good.
Time for 80's talking heads themed birthday party.

Karma To Burn @ Desert Fest, yesssss!

DUDE!! I just saw this post! That's my buddy Eric! He's the guy I told you all got the gig with KTB and was wanting to borrow a bass as a backup.
He's such a rad dude and Im totally happy for him.. and a little jealous ;-)

Now, if only Julian could rustle up another 3620 for me...

Golden is a smaller town suburb of greater Denver.

Well I hope it doesn't suck and I hope it's not as expensive as, say, Aspen.

It was pretty grueling, but I just finished writing up a cover letter, revising my resume and filling out the long-assed online application for a really good job there in Golden.

Mojo me, dammit.

Final exam is done. English can shag off, I'm on summer vacation. (Summer vacation meaning that I'm just working full time, but still -no school)

...and I'm installed on the screened porch with jim beam, beer and Colour Haze, watching it rain.

SUMMER.

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.

A couple weeks ago I cut out parts for a proto 218, but wasn't thrilled with the baffle layout. Those are slightly on the back burner just until I get the sealed and ported 1822's dialed exactly the way I want them. Getting closer and gigging my sealed 1822 a lot. Like Julian, I don't have a preferred speaker size. I just happen to really love a driver that happens to be an 18. Works great with sealed designs too which was a pleasant surprise.

I'm seeing some good cab deals on gc used. Peavey 8x10 for $200. I've had them ship pedals to my local store for free, i wonder if they'd ship a cab.

 

[Blank_0101]

Wow so this girl added me on Facebook who was going to the 80's party. I asked if she wanted to costume shop and go with me. She said yes but was already dating someone... So I pick her up and she says they broke up... Oh and she just turned 21 and got a dui.

More red flags than a game of mind sweeper

Ah lucky days. I'm stuck in the middle of exam and essay period. Also filling in playing for a crappy musical. Doom has been on hold for too long.

What a steal! That's a lot of cab for $200

The b15s I sold a long time ago came back on the market and I kinda want it. I need a major gear dump myself to justify the purchase. Is reverb expensive? I just can't stand eBay. Need to re up on hereI can use the classified but I got some guitars to dump too.

3.5% after it sells, free to post.

Pass, on anything long term/don't let her know your address

Really? What version? Their new one sounds killer. Not that I need one.

Not sure, looks older and has one mismatched driver.

Been a rough couple of weeks for me. Most of it is stupid and don't want to go into it all, but I need some opinions about one thing in particular.

Got my SWR preamp back from the tech that was working on it yesterday.

I left it with him to replace an output jack that was cracked, but functional.

I was rushed when I picked it up and didn't get to check out, big mistake apparently.

It no worky now. Like at all. Doesn't come out of standby.

Do I give el dudeo another chance?

Also my custom neck is running behind schedule so I'm feeling pretty bummed about gear in general.

And @askrere are you trying to find a wife steady?
Go have fun kid, just don't end up obligated.

 

[Korladis]

All this talk of Peavey basses... If one were to purchase a Peavey bass, what are some cheap, decent options? I went to a local place yesterday that had plenty of old Peaveys, and fairly cheap. (Assuming they're good, of course.) They also had an old-school flip top Ampeg B-15 from the 70's. Pretty awesome.

All of them.

Hot damn the recording is going great. Drums, guitars, and bass are done. Vocals soon I hope.

After a poopie-ton of trial and error I ended using my Mesa Bottle Rocket into Sansamp Bass Driver into the slave input on an SVT to an old Fender 2x15. My signal was a mix of clean DI, Sansamp, and several mics on the 2x15. All of them sounded killer. Tried to go will all miked bass amps but it was too wooly for the new Asthma Castle tunes.

Edit - I did not write the word poopie. TB must have some new filters.

Damn word filters. What is a Mesa Bottle Rocket?

Well...put my Traynor YBA-1 up for sale. Mr. Grumpy should be here before the end of the month and there's not much reason to keep the Traynor, beyond sentiment.

Everyone sells things when I have no money.

Ditto. Good luck and hope it's a poopie-free transaction.



I love camping, but can hardly do it anymore. Wish I had a little RV or something. I can't handle sleeping on the ground regardless of how much padding and I've yet to beg, buy, borrow or steal an air mattress that was worth a damn or didn't blow out after a half-dozen uses.

There was a day I could have slept on a bed of sharp rocks, and I used to camp all the time, but 46 years of spills and thrills and breaks and boners and insomnia and aches and pains means when we "rough it" any more, we just rent a cabin somewhere in the boonies.

Hope you have a great time.

Tried a cot?

In regards to muffs, what exactly is a tone bypass? What does it do?

It skips the tone knob. There's no position on the muff's tone control that's not a mid scoop, so the apparent effect is a lot more midrange and some more volume.

Just dreaming but as far as cabs go, what do you guys like for speaker sizes?

2X12...4X10...15s?

Just curious because I do often see cabs on CL that seem reasonable and lust about my unobtainable rig a lot.

There's an old Peavey cab for a bill that I think is one 15" Black Widow with an horn...only 250 watts though.

I currently use a 2x15. I'd probably be happy with an 8x10, too. It doesn't matter that much, but it seems that 2x15 cabs, at least the ones I've mostly played through, are designed with more midrange. Maybe that's something people expect from a 2x15, so they design them to sound that way. I don't know.

@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.

Wait. What?

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.

Please don't sell the dually before july?

lol not trying to get hitched at all. I do have fun, if it goes well I don't share much. I only talk about what I find funny in my life.

Normally patience is one of my virtues, but the motherfvckery of crooked insurance companies has me on the ropes right now.

Anyone who meets someone from Facebook at a costume shop isn't looking for marriage. We all know the score.
