Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Damn, dude that's nasty.

Over all the years that I've been playing/owning gear, drinking heavily and drinking while playing I can say that I've never puked on any of my gear. I've bled all over my drums and one of my old basses, but never puke.

Also, good thing you woke up - be careful out there, you don't want to go out like a rockstar choking on vomit while being too ****ed up to wake up and realize that you're dying.

I'll blame the free tequila and stick to beer as I should. I've blood, sweat, and puke, tonight's cleaning will probably add tears to the mix of what's touched my gear.

Silver lining, fecal matter and urine still aren't on the list!

And this is kinda cool too

Spent most of the weekend re doing our practice space after water damage but didn't seem to make a whole lot of progress other than getting one large hanging shelf and a new drum riser built.
Hope to get the space squared away tonight since we have a show tomorrow and would like to get a quick warm up practice in before the show.

NAD $40 Great shape but was missing 4 corners and a handle.

Nice! By the style of the knobs and it being a 6 input, I'd say later 70s.

If we get our own stuff where we can do this, I will hit you up. Guitar player was talking about doing this to record practices. We'll see.

Excited with potential of getting in studio. Bill Douglass is the man.

If you want to spend a little you can usually get a Zoom R16 used on guitarcenter's site for like 200-300 and you can record 8 tracks live. The band I was in got one of these and its a very useful cheap option.

Need to get my bronco bass and cables from my apartment to test the rig. I can grab the gk and the Demeter setup too.

The Bass vi and p bass need a bath... The roadstar needs wiring and the EB-0 is ok so maybe I'll bring it too.

i dont think the V3 was in production until the MTI years, starting in 1981. in the 70s ampeg made the V2/V4/V6/V9, and starting with MTI they went to the V3/V5/V7. so that amp should be a 1981.

He means rushings kickass peavey head, I want another one bad.

The V3 exists in the 70's as a remade b-25. The 80's one came as a head or combo. I can't find anything on the head online hardly, except people with empty bumped threads and responses of "there's nothing out there about this amp".

Ugh, what a cute puppy. As someone who is a volunteer at an animal shelter in the city, I work primarily with pit bulls. A lot of them end up losing their tails/needing them amputated because pit tails are so strong and the breed can be so happy that they just continue to smack them off things causing damage.

So hopefully that little buddy still gets a chance at a happy healthy life. Shouldn't be hard to find a home for something that cute.

So, I think we've discovered why you're Mr. Personality.

I just posted this in a thread in the humor section but I figured you guys might think it is funny. It is really so hard to tell if people are joking or being serious sometimes.

Douchey indeed. I hope that's a joke.

It's Jim beam, I don't touch whiskey. My friend drinks a shot mixed with water in a pint glass.

Ugh, Jim Beam. We drank so much of that my junior year of college. Practically every damn night. I can't drink bourbon to this day due to it.

"It seems that there's an early 80s ampeg 50 watt V3 that came has a head or a combo.

Here's what someone at harmony central wrote on the japanese V3:

"Problem is, this is the absolute rarest of all ampegs. It was built during a transition time in the early 80's. Ampeg was bought and held for a short time by a Japanese company. The company took the production of their amps to Japan, blatantly copied Marshall amps since they were the hot sellers at the time. Problem is, very little documentation ever made it out of Japan to the next company that bought Ampeg. Many amp techs have never heard of the V-3 combo I have, everybody always thinks it's the V-3 from 1970. Once again, I tell you, this is a very rare amp with little known history. Gregg Hopkins from Vintage amp restoration seems to be the expert on this amp, and he has many questions himself. You want rare vintage tone, this is the one. Good luck finding one." "
