Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I bet even if it had a very strong hi pass it would still sound good. But I used the Ormat side of the pre for mid cut n grind.

Though as cool as that pedal is, If it isn't Ormat or like the newer FMV is it even really an orange? Looks more like an SVT pre than the sansamp.

Even if it high passed at 50hz it would be fine for most, The real question is where that low tone control's heal is set at.

I hate trying to use e-drums in any type of jam situation, the weird double-trigger events, the no-trigger events and the CLACK CLACK THWAP of the pads overpowering the amp/pa that's amplifying the drums made it really hard to focus on the music.

For solo practice I think they're the next best thing to having a real kit.

I hope to get a cheap drum machine again. I use them for writing sometimes and have in the past for some recording projects.

Nothing like real drums played by a real drummer, but since that's outta the pic until I can scare up an amp maybe I can do some more home recording in a poppier style or something.

The one thing I DO have is a couple of multitrack recorders.

I am wiped after this weekend. Too much whiskey. ;)

I will spill a drop and raise a toast to Molly next time I get to drink.

Fun show with some locals and Brothers of a Sonic Cloth this past weekend. More sound issues and the sound guy didn't seem to get that, when I say I want SHJT loads of guitar in my monitor that it means I want my face being melted. That's the 2nd time we've played this venue (absolutely awesome venue, btw) and we've had hearing issues.

Brothers of a Sonic Cloth were pretty dope. They did a an almost 3 song soundcheck, though, so when they got on for their actual show I felt like I had already just seen them a half hour prev. Lol. I guess that kinda sound check is necessary when you have a billion cabs and camps on stage
 
Crossover fried in my 1820 cab at prac last night, but thing is...I dont miss those 10s too much, had to plug into the just 18, sounded massive.

So who here thinks I should stuff my 800 Booster amp into the area the 10s were? I will need to trim about an inch off of the face and back of the booster to fit it but then ill have a space saving cube of DOOM.

This is the Stoner/Doom thread bro, you can't post here about combo amps. ;)

Seriously though... why not? Is that 800 Booster the type of old Peavey that has the preamp circuitry bolted to the front panel, the power amp circuitry on the back panel, and just a wire harness between? Maybe you could just get some sheet metal the right size, and drill some holes, and there you go? Then you wouldn't have to hack up your valuable Wealth Building Investment Portfolio.
 
Don't know if anyone remembers the Sunn cabinet I asked about a while back. It looked like an 18" to me, but I basically confirmed with the group that there's no such thing. So I ordered and received a new BW 15" to replace with. last night I finally got around to spinning the nuts to get the dead driver out...
...
...
... and it's an 18". The cabinet has been hacked, and the baffle hole cut bigger to accommodate an 18" driver.

Not sure what to do at this point.

Can you remove the grill, punt out the baffle and put a new one in?

Also in the future listen to no one but your tape measure

Got my pine P bass body back, with a smooth satin black finish on it. I've got all the other parts ready, just have to find some time to get it all together.

Hot hot! Love the satin sort of matte finish. Don't see that often enough IMO.

Do you know what pickup yet?

*cough GZR cough*

Rosewood or maple?

Must...know...plans...

Dimarzio Model P pickup, maple board. My favorite pickup with my favorite color combo (well, tied with 3TSB/Black/Maple, which is what my Carvin is).

I did a dry fit of the parts a few minutes ago.

Lordy. So beautiful. Allparts neck? Warmoth?

Yeah, black on black with maple is hard to beat. That old SX P copy with maple neck I have, trying to decide between a b/w/b or red tort guard. Probably go with a cream pup cover too.
