Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[The_Janitor]

Max if you're not already Facebook friends with Peavey you might want to be...

Quoting myself, cuz yeah.

Max, I sent your GH photo my Peavey rep just now, he flipped his lid, immediately emailed it to Hartley with my contact info and asked if they could put it on their facebook page. I said yes, so it should be up sometime soon.

If you give me your email address I can forward any response that I may get from Hartley.

On the other hand...

That whole not having a band photo got me thinking. We know each other for like 18 years, so we certainly have SOME photo of us 3 prior playing together.
And lo and behold, here it is!
It's was like 3 years ago, we went to our guitarist's girlfriend's cabin in the woods, threw my tomahawk, shot our guns (those are of airsoft kind mind you, real steel is not really allowed here much), drank a sea of booze, probably burned some trees.

Left to right: guitarist, me, drummer.

That's a great shot.

Are drummers in Poland as psychotic and wishy-washy as they are in America?

I think they are the same everywhere
Our former was just a weird person, he was a long time friend, but the band was at 3rd or 4th place for him after his work, his girlfriend that nobody liked an his daughter (that I can at least understand).
Our present drummer is at least as much committed as me and the guitarist, he had his issues but the chemistry is right this time.

You can, but getting a gun permit is a pain in the azz, you can't own full auto obviously and not everyone gets the permit. The whole procedure is quite costly and in 8 out of 10 cases you'll be denied.

Full auto requires resistration, fee and a wait time. Same as getting a suppressor or cutting down a shotgun.

All stuff I thought was illegal, turns out just costs you like $200. Crazy how things work.

On the other hand, you can have black powder weapons with no permit or registry whatsoever. Go figure.

Killer shot! Head chef? Damn I KNOW that is a ton of work. Get yourself on Chopped and win you some $10K!

Nah, chef isba title someone else gives you. I'm a badass line cook.

Cant kill you, but can make it difficult for you to go through a metal detector at the air port.

Terminator do not fear mortal TSA agents.

Gonna become a musket wielding vigilante super hero?
You sure can't stop Putin's army red dawn style with a bunch of peasant firearms.

If they come here, there will be enough of their firearms lying on the ground.

And our bastard father...

Max if you're not already Facebook friends with Peavey you might want to be...

Oh I am, and I tag them in basically every hipstagram photo...just wishing/waiting for someone important to see them and be like this guy deserves a endorsement. Sig model with an old school SS pre and 400 watt tube power section with matching 218 and folded 21. A boy can dream right?

Some day my hair will grow up and gain sentience and tell me about the aliens too, just like daddy.

...but seriously, that's just stupid politics, I've met quite a lot of Russians in my life and they were pretty cool.

...and then there's this thing.

 

[Burnsy]

We stayed at a old cabin out in the sticks with other family members; there was this sad old nylon string acoustic with only the two E strings on it lying around. Didn't stop me from jamming some tunes, though.

 

[The_Janitor]

Max, do you know when you guys are going on tonight?

Going to practice in janesville after work, just want to make sure I'm back in time for you guys' set.

No clue honestly, ill be there around 8ish though.

In my experience that means you go on at 11:45.

But I did my gigging in the Dark Ages...

So over the last few months I've been testing this coupon code I have for this place down the street and it still works. Gives me two 1/4 chickens, 4 sides, two rolls, drinks and sauces for between $5.40 and $6.58 depending on who rings it up.

Just can't beat that feast of savings. Eat once a day like its Ramadan.

I already ate lunch today and that made my mouth water, now I'm craving some bbq chicken.


Me and the little dude, sometime within the last couple months:

Cool shot. Is this a family cabin or one owned by friends?

It'd be cool to take that guitar and give it a little TLC, string it up and leave it there for future cabin visitors.

Sometimes I think about getting an ABG just for stuff like being outdoors, camping, going to cabins and stuff. I don't play enough guitar anymore to wanna keep an acoustic 6 string for those purposes, and I know un-amped ABGs get drowned out even by 100% acoustic guitars, but just to have something to play and practice and work up tunes on when it's not practical to take an electric and amp or when I'm getting in the 70s folk-bassist mood...

If you ABG with a stiff pick, and hit it real hard, people can hear you...some.
