Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Drinking and going to the lab to watch my friend perform late night drunk science, educational and fun.

Apparently he's really good at removing mouse brains. Never got to experience that procedure yet... But he was asked to perform it live three times today at another university. Don't get to be a touring scientist often :p
 
So that OD pedal is pretty rad. I recorded a quick clip, hopefully I'll get it uploaded today. It gets pretty thick, and kind of epitomizes what I consider to be that SS growl. Not sure if it will end up on my board, but it definitely pushed my practice set up to doom levels without having to lug my board into the loft at our house.

Cool, so does it sound exactly like church of misery?

So the band met last night to listen to final masters of the demo/first album. Guitarist had some changes he wanted done, which were all mix-related. Curiously enough the notes for every song were "vocals too low, bass too loud".

Now, we had settled on the mix weeks ago, so to hear this sent myself and the dinner into a mild rage. We were civil during the meeting, but as soon as we drove off drummer called me to vent. He's righteously pissed, with good reason.

I brought up the show that we missed out on and dude claimed that he didn't see it until it was too late. I asked why he didn't tell us about it anyway, because it's really embarrassing to hear this poopie second hand. He said he was waiting until we were all together to us know. That reeks of ******** because we all communicate via email and text on our phones.

So i don't know, drummer is going to reserve the bass cuts and drop the vocals back down to where they were. So the meeting shaging sucked, but i had a really good talk with my drummer afterward. We're both pretty much done, there's a show or two in the works, we'll do those then we're going to concentrate on the new project.

I don't think it's "just like" his tone, but I also don't play a ric, and wasn't feeding it through a wah. I'm likely gonna take it to practice tomorrow just to see how it sounds through tubes & with wah. I should be able to get that clip loaded after work In a little bit. Maybe I'll be able to change the settings and get some other sounds out of it too.

Man that sucks, the times I met your guitarist he seems pretty cool, I loved your riffs and his vocals. But excited to hear what else you and your drummer can come up with with a different guitard.

Think I've got my Corvette sold via Craigslist. Only problem: buyer no habla ingles. Mi espanol es muy pobre.
He is bringing a translator who doesn't play bass or know anything about it.
Fun times. Hope I don't insult his mother.
Maybe I'll play the gringo and make the translator do the hard work.
