Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[JoeVictim]

I'm buying a cheap guitar to mod up for playing some death metal. Gimme your opinions...$110 for satin natural finish, which I can sand down and spray paint flat black or $140 for gloss black? It's death metal, so black finish is mandatory either way.

I'd take the one that's black already, all other things being equal. $30 isn't much to spend on saving yourself the refinish.

Seriously though, flat black > gloss black. Usually. To me.

I really detest and resent the idea that a person has to have certain training or a certain degree in order to be considered a "professional." I myself have a BA and a Master's but I only did it because I wanted to try for a higher salary (so far with mixed success.)

You're scratching the surface here. Dig deeper and you'll find the "if you ain't ivy league, you ain't poopie [1]" boundary. There are many layers of elitism at play all through life.

Turned my wife onto that Tarantel album you turned me onto a few weeks back. She digs it even more than I do. Thanks, man.

Acid king is on Amazon. Never listened to them before.

Really really dig the vocals. Turns out that it's a lady, nothing wrong with that, but I just kept thinking damn this person sings in my range and I could possibly do that haha.

Any other examples of metal vocalists who aren't deep rumbling growlers, but more mid/high range? Mars red sky and Ewiz aren't to low in the vocals.

For starters:

Jadd from Spiritu (also Meteorcity records)






Jeff from Abdullah


Dude from ASG


Jason from Solace


Dude from Witch


Erica from Lost Goat

Gloss black then sand the gloss off?

Neurosis kind of day. Through Silver in Blood.
My fever has finally subsided. My whole apartment (and me) smells of garlic. My usual flu regimen of aspirin and garlic has again been successful.
Practice tomorrow, so that's good.

Mike/PeeWee/Muleboy from Bongzilla used to eat whole raw garlic cloves like candy, then sweat it all out on stage. It smelled... bad.

King tuff from witch is great.

This is taken in enema form, correct?

Like to smell bad on purpose? or cause he liked garlic that much.

Yeah, I use it strictly medicinally. Does wonders for common flu.

Nope. Rubbed into the eyesocket.


Also: Just got my money back for my ordered MXR Bass Distortion. Turns out the shop's out of stock. Oh well, time to search for some other RAT.

I think he just liked garlic that much.

It's not really a pointy guitar, just a hardtail super strat kinda thing. Carved top though I think? It's some super cheap Dean POS. I think I'm going to get the satin natural one, since it's cheaper. Then I won't care about hacking it up, sanding it, painting it or whatever.

 

[Muddslide]

Nope. Rubbed into the eyesocket.

Ah. Now that is the man's way.

Na zdrowie!

My advice to Askrere is to get a vasectomy now. It can always be reversed.

Haha yep.

Askrere, no matter your feelings about family planning, there's no guarantee that a lady friend will agree... and she is the only one that can make that decision.

I am a Sagittarius, and enjoy walks on the beach, wine by candlelight, and copious amounts of cheese. Serious cheese.

Willing to work for your satisfaction. I put it ahead of my own.

[kleinenenten]

Alright, so hypothetically speaking, if I forgot to ground the bridge on my buddy's guitar and am unable to feed the wire through to the cavity, is there a suitable alternative way to ground the wire? Could I splice it to one of the pickup grounds?

Take a little 0000 steel wool to that gloss finish.
