Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Man, went to get a sixer of Left Hand (great brewery out of Colorado) Milk Stout...addicted to this stuff...but wasn't on the shelf so I made my own six pack from single bottles.
Yeah that stuff is great.
I ended up with some Sessions Black Lager.

This has been great on the cheap.

Like a dirty Foxrox Octron since it starts with fuzz before adding the octaves. You can bring the gain down a good bit though and cop a somewhat cleanish octave down. It has that sweet MXR BOD tone flavor to the octave down too. You can cop the 8 string bass vibe with the octave up engaged. Much nicer sounding to me then my EHX Pitch Fork.

Dang, super interested in that now... Refinished with an extra stomp for the up octave... Someday

Wow. Them's some big words. I can go a good while without beer, but I miss the 'juana when it's not around. And since I'm usually broke, it's not around wayyy more than it is around.

Gotta try me some of that kava someday soon...

I'm the worry/dwell on bummer stuff type so green just enhances that the older I get the kava is just mellow and uber relaxing but not as intense as grog or green to me. Except the first timr I tried it I downed a lot and it was super euphoric and my whole body melted into my couch. I like the not a care in the world vibe to it
 
Okay, I asked on the Amps Forum but haven't got a response yet.

Has anyone heard of Sundown amps?

I can't find much about them online. Saw a 300w 210 at a local shop but didn't try it out yet.

Just a cheap combo amp...may be sub-Behringer quality-wise. Can't find much info...

Yeah, that was Dennis Kager's company, he worked for Ampeg a long time, was an in demand amp tech. I don't really know all that much about the actual amps though.

Still trying to search up more info. Sounds to me like they used to be reputable and well thought of, then the company folded some years back.

Seems like some Asian concern may have bought the name and are now producing Sundown amps again, but of much lower quality.

The only stuff I see about the brand are ten year old threads on different forums.

I will have to try this thing out. But while I am a big fan of cheap basses if they are decent, I never felt that okay cheaping out on amps.

Who knows...maybe it won't be that bad. Need to stay under $200 and I doubt I'll find anything giggable for that, even used.

If this Sundown is at all passable, one of the good points is that I could pay it off slowly.
 
Can't bath leela for the whole two weeks of healing... She smelled fine until I picked her up from the vet. She smells like sterilized animal sadness which is how the vet office smelled.

Reworking my backpack/camping setup still. Anyone know any cheap super compact tents/bivys/shelters let me know. I have a 1.5 person tent but it's rather bulky in dimension.

It's a very light setup. Part DIY and also kind of an "art piece" for lack of better description. Basically I hate the look of "sports/outdoorsy/activity" stuff, bright neon flashy colors and camo aren't my thing. So simple earthy colors, or just not loud colors. I'll post pics later to see if ideas of what I could do or should get.

Who needs a tent? I'm the "crazy guy" in my group, we've camped many times, and I often just use a tarp rolled around my sleeping bag so it doesn't get dew on it. It works quite well for me...
