Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

It's official. When you have this in your possession, you'll have the world's best collection of Peavey amps.
It's only my favorite brewery. It's the only real thing I'll miss about being on the East Coast, as they don't have distribution out in Washington yet. Their Breakfast Stout might be my favorite beer period, and their Scotch Ale is damn fine as well. So is their Old Ale. Hell, pretty much all of their beer.
That's because it sucks.
Saw them on that tour with Crowbar opening of all people. Billy Milano was HUGE. At one point he dove off the stage in an attempt to crowd surf. Well the crowd saw it coming and parted like the Red Sea, Billy hit the floor. Hard. I laughed. Good show though, they played the ballad of jimi hendrix like 8 times in a row.
"YOU'RE DEAD. Wanna hear it again?!"
1965ish Peavey Musician unofficially No. 1 of only a handfull...Hartley Peavey made enitirely himself. If you thought the Vulcan was rare, OOOOOOH mama.
Maybe, but its not complete yet...
See it is usually the other way around for me. I have 100 orders hanging, and we sold out of all our prep on the first 200 people of the night. That is when things get interesting, prepping/scrambling to get things out on time.
I can walk to founders. 6 Dirty bastards will make a mark.
Well, my plan to get a booteek RAT fell in ruins for now. I became a designated almost-permanent-if-nothing-changes-and-most-probably-nothing-won't singer, so I have to invest in a vocal delay/reverb unit. Most places we play have mixers and PA, but no effects. Fortunately TC Helicon makes a cool pedal with a lot of bells and whistles. Unfortunately, it costs around 130 bucks. Oh well. At least I'll sound cool.
Got one for $30, the up button doesn't work so I can only scroll down. Seems decent, i let a neighbor use it on Halloween to scare kids. Other than that, got drunk with friends and took turns saying crude things about each other's mother in the octave down setting.
Yeah, that digitech one has been around forever, not the best but it gets the job done.
If you already have delay and reverb pedals you can get a pair of these and use your guitar effects:
A85F Line Matching Transformer | Shure Americas
Edit: you would probably want to use this one on the pedal's output.
A95UF Line Matching Transformer (XLR to 1/4" Male Plug/Female Jack) | Shure Americas
Dude from sons of otis was using a boss dd5 on his vocals when i saw them. Had a pair of these shure adapters, sounded awesome.

drums and bass finished. guitars still left. got to do some fun synth fun and the Rainbow Machine made and appearance as well.
We got a cameo from a rainbow machine on our recording 
Exactly. How many Americans were going to Thailand and getting whooped by legit kickboxers in the 1980's? They had so many movies about it.
some riffage from yesterday. it was a lot of fun, and recording in a "real" studio with proper isolation was soooo much easier.
Close! But no the one that I had in mind. Guy has to train to defend some series of moves that the main bad guy uses.
stop everything, time to reconsider combos
last night i saw a new wave band called cellars with a very small and brutal bass rig
it was a tiny sunn alpha 115 combo modded with a "high quality speaker"
this thing was loud, loud, and loud
paris the bass player told me that the thing gets even more volume when drivey
this kind a woke me up, cause i always play 115s and the orange cabs seem to get
heavier and heavier every time we play and i have been kind of intrigued by
vintage solid state amps after playing tube amps for the last 18 years
