Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Okay men, this may be of interest to some here...hopefully. I've been poring through the record collections of friends, YouTube, reviews, general research, etc....why? Trying to compile what (IMO) are a couple discs' worth of some of the heaviest music of the early 70s I could find....

PS-- If anyone has any suggestions for additions for a possible third disc, I'm all ears!

First off, thanks!

...might be time to write off those guitarists and look for others...

I JUST WANT TO PLAY SOME SHOWS.

Envision this: forget about guitars. Drums and two basses...drums, bass and keys...maybe drums, bass and amplified violin.

Hell, didgeridoo and glockenspiel through effects.

Personally I'd dig on seeing some more heavy bands without guitars.
 
Been in my, once I get money, list. How you like on bass?

Sounds good on bass to me. I actually haven't been playing much guitar at all lately to concentrate more on bass, so I only used it on bass. It doesn't sound as good as the EHX #1 Echo or thr Aka
i Headrush but it still a nice sounding delay and is way smaller then thr Akai. I am digging the analog setting the best but the straight digital settings is the most clear. The modulation setting is nice and subtle compared to what it sounded with guitars in the video demos. I think it was definitely worth the $65. I probably could of just got the Joyo Analog Delay and been plenty happy with that for $30 bucks but I wanted tap tempo.

Thanks for joining in on the Heavy Seventies playlist.

I know UFO of course, Lucifer's Friend, Pink Fairies and Tin House, but several others here are new to me...Necromandus, Alamo, Strawberry Path...very cool chit. Love this stuff. Reminds me of days long gone.

I was born in '68 but I have two sisters 7 & 9 years older than me. I have vivid memories of parties they had and times they had boyfriends around and hearing music like this jamming on their record players, the smell of funny cigarettes...all floating out from around the edges of their bedroom doors.

I distinctly remember one of my older sister's BFs showing me Killer and Love It To Death by Alice Cooper and playing those one day.

I could get my mom to buy me Kiss albums but I could never talk her into scoring me some Alice Cooper.

happy accident at practice, just came out of nowhere. It has promise, needs a few more twists and turns though.

Great holy crap! That's pretty sh!t hot! Real tight for something you talk like just fell together. Sincerely dig that. Sounds majestic, like the soundtrack to a one man spacecraft being shot into the sun.
 
Love it to death is quite simply one of the best american rock albums of all time.

Had practice with one guitar player, it actually went really well. We got most of a song written, plus the skeleton of another that the drummer wrote, very Crover-ish with mildy odd timing, should be pretty good once it's fleshed out. Ended with a cool jam that we may use as an intro piece when (if?) we play out. Recorded a bunch on my phone, probably blown out but at least we'll be able to remember the riffs.

Felt good to get loud, can't say it enough- the 2PRO kills. That combined with the Hovercraft + a top notch pedalboard and we sounded really good tone wise.

haha. thanks. it was literally something I just randomly played to test my setup before we started practice. the other guys jumped in. this is why our recorder is always on once we're in the room. :D

Struggling to remain professional today. Was just in a meeting where someone was asking me questions, and then proceeded to interrupt me halfway through each sentence. I started snapping my fingers at them when they were doing it.
"It is rude to snap your fingers at me."
"It is also rude to interrupt me when I am trying to answer your question."

What I wanted to say was more along the lines of, "If you are going to act like a disobedient b!tch (dog) then I will treat you as such."
