Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[bassboysam]

when I saw Orange Goblin, he was using an SWR 410 with an Orange Terror amp....it sounded pretty terrible in my opinion .

but who knows why that was. too many variables.

 

[Boone_Mc]

Thanks for the input. I've looked at the ampeg 410he the most before now and seems solid. That Peavy looks pretty alright aswell. any swr in particular?

Right on thanks.

Anyone make a cheap yet semi accurate Dallas range master treble booster?

 

[kleinenenten]

Any word yet on a visual way to discern whether or not the Daddy-O is a surface mount or not? Currently, I'm under the impression if the TM is high on the "O", it's NOT surface mount. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Sorry side tracked with puppy and work. Heading home after a haircut to confirm. I'll take gut and logo pics.

Awesome! Thanks! Just no gut/logo pics of the puppy. She looks nice and happy as is!

Sent the PDF of instructions to my dad to see if he already has the guts required. Otherwise neato that's what I need to buy!

In contact with a tb'er who did my bass vi pickguard. About to start dropping some gear to fund all the parts for it then he's gonna rebuild and set it up and reword it. It's a mess and I really want it working right and how he has wired them before. so for once, I'll not be doing my own work on a guitar...

Also determining my pedal boards. I still need a cathedral for the dano board. Then the rangemaster will go with a fuzz face and bad stone phaser in parallel with the Joyo UD, Bluebeard and ? For the stereo/blend/shared board.

Gonna rid myself of all full scales potentially, need to wire up the jaguar to determine that.

Although i thought Stevie Ray was talented, i never really got heavily into him because i had already heard this:



If i listen to blues these days (which is rare) it's someone like Lightnin' Hopkins or Mississippi Fred McDowell.


I saw Judas Priest on the Turbo tour in '85 or '86- don't remember much about it, other than that Dokken was the opener...

That's fabtone, but both say 1996.

Fabtone guts

Daddy-o guts.

I've kept all that I've bought and never peeked inside others to judge really though. So if you can tell what mine are, then cool!

Can't really tell. You might have to take a good look inside by taking off the entire bottom. Thanks for the help, though. Anybody else able to tell from this if it's surface mount or not?

New fuzz pedal on its way. Sovtek muff style, 3 way mid switch, self oscillation switch with variable control, and sweet Tarot card etch.

Should arrive just as I finish my exams. Hopefully my boss doesn't send me off to Melbourne or Sydney or something before I get a chance to use it.

 

[kleinenenten]

Well, dang. Tried reaching out to Dano directly to find out if there's an easy way to determine the version of a Daddy-O. Kudos for the quick response, but not good news! Here's the response:


I actually do not have any documentation on revisions that were made to this pedal. We don’t produce technical specifications for any of our products and if any revisions are made this is something that might be documented at the factory where these are made but we don’t have that information here in our offices.

There isn’t any sort of information anyone at our office would have on this.

I’m sorry I’m not able to help you.

Yeah, as mentioned, Buddy Guy and Albert (The Iceman) Collins both really go for that high-pitched, dog-frequency, all-treble sound. I don't get it. I agree re: Luther Allison too. Blues based, but took off in many directions, ending up with more of a gumbo. I don't mind pretty straight up blues, but I like it a LOT more rawboned than the way most players from the past 30-40 years pull it off...once you get to middle-aged white dudes with horn sections and backup singers doing covers of already watered-down stuff ("After Midnight...") I go beyond losing interest.

Jazz is like that for me too...so much stuff recorded after around 1965 just seems so rote and clinical and sterile to me. My ears HATE pretty much all fusion stuff I've ever heard (although sometimes it gets a little wilder) and even when I hear post-60s jazz that strikes me as decent, I always think "Why wouldn't I just go back and listen to the original cats doing this..Coltrane, Monk. Mingus, Dolphy, Sam Rivers, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman..."

It's true I am a music snob I guess. It's odd because I am not that way at all with other art forms. I love all kinds of Grade B-to-Z movies and can enjoy decent pop fiction that goes down like a candy bar, but my criteria for what is worthwhile is a whole lot more stringent when it comes to music.

What's known as fusion now just blows. Give me Miles Davis' Bitches Brew / On The Corner.

At the Priest show, Saxon was the surprise opener. So far so good!

 

[kleinenenten]

Here are "open" gut shots of the Daddy-O. At least they're on this page here. If yours match, @askrere , I think I'll go with it. TM on the bottom, it MIGHT be!

Invalid Link Removed

EDIT: And here is a page with gut shots AND the TM high on the O. Dang it! No consistency!

Invalid Link Removed
Another EDIT: TM on the bottom again, but with gut shots that show NON-surface mount. It's now 2 to 1 TM on the bottom...

Cool! One of my first big concerts was Saxon opening for Rainbow. Loved them ever since. Even their suckier stuff.

The continuing saga of trying to keep a band on track. Studio on the 24th is iffy now due to lack of internal communication. We should all be there and now personal schedules are clashing. Gahhhhhh....
Have a new song brewing though. Little different from the other stuff so that's a good sign. Practice amp time is helping keep everyone in check.
I'm really focusing on muting strings that aren't needed to keep open drone out of the mix.

the lb100 arrived a day early around 3:30 today, i was kind of horrified by the super high action, but it set up really nicely when i got it back to the house, it sounded weird with the new strings clean, but it really sounded great with the heavy tube od of the mesa, gonna try it with the rat tail tomorrow, i'm thinking i may just hold on to this bass and the sb-2 and get rid of the other basses to buy a new camera body, the sb-2 has flats on it and it does this kind of dark souped up cutting p bass thing i really love, i haven't played it with the doomy project yet, but it sounded sweet with the psych instrumental fellows
