Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Never heard of see's before, looks like a choco company.

I'm more of an old fruity candy guy. Jujubes, jujyfruits and dots are my favorites. The candy only old people probably have an interest in but can't eat cause they got no toofies. Twizzlers and red vines and black liquorice too. If you could have eaten them at "the talkies" they are good lol.
Yeah, I guess it's a more regional thing than I thought. Fairly ubiquitous around here.

I'm kinda the opposite as far as candy goes. If it's not chocolate, I'm probably not interested.

My car has a pretty nice factory 6disc, but it need to be cleaned. New CDs will skip. It sucks
Ugh, that sucks.

The CD player in my minivan is completely broken. I got a short-range FM radio transmitter that plugs into the cigarette lighter power thingy, and I plug my portable CD player into that so that I can listen to music (besides the radio, because shag the radio) while driving.
 
Drafting a letter code for "screw you I'm going home" *middle finder*
I AM home. We practice in my basement. Posted it, everyone seems okay with it. Shouldn't be surprising to them since I've brought these issues up in the past repeatedly. Now, to move on and find some different dudes to jam with. Some that can play in key/on time, and who have more open minds musically. Wish me luck!
 
How do you pronounce reutz

Oh and traded an old mij blue sparkle snare for a Mapex Venus series bass drum and floor tom. Came with an 80's swingstar Tom I guess I can flip or turn into a sub kick mic.

Pic is from Craigslist, I dismantled them for cleaning and transportation.

Went to the first Eaux Claire this weekend. Oh man what an awesome weekend. Soooo much sun, and mud. Survived a hellish T storm with 70mph winds that took out our tent, the 6 of us ended up sleeping in my Ford Focus wagon. Sun dried everything the next day. Drank/toked erraday until the ground was comfortable. Saw Tallest Man on Earth, Charles Bradley, obviously Bon Iver and a bunch others but the most memorable was this dude we just walked upon. A dude named Colin Stetson...blew my mind, he riffs heavy as shag on saxophone while beatboxing/making percussive hits on the actual sax and haunting whale noises. He mastered circle breathing and would literally play a 15min song straight through. Basically does what GH does but with only one person and on a sax. Highly recommended.

Thats about it, gotta go get some actual sleep in a real bed...I start my apprenticeship tomorrow!!!

Hey, sounds good. Last band had 2 keyboardists, new one will have 2 bassists! I already told my buddy that now that we have extra space in the band room, I can bring in my other rig and I can have a stereo bass rig. He is appropriately frightened by this idea, as I can already overwhelm the mix with my 410 and 700RB, and he knows I'd LOVE to try out a modular 810 by combining both of my 410s.
 
Hey duders, hope all's well. Did some travelling/chilling out with the Mrs. in the Madison, WI area this past weekend which was nice. We had to put down a gato last week and that was heartbreaking. :(

Looking forward to two MDT gigs this weekend. Friday is an outdoor gig that usually draws huge crowds. We're playing an early set, 6:30ish, so we'll have plenty of time to booze afterward, too! Sat is a house party with bands, hopefully it's chaotic!

Also starting some jamming with my new project in coming days. More details on that as it comes together.

Lastly, I'm combing through my hoard to find more stuff to sell.

So, what you're saying is that you COULD have gone to an awesome show curated by Riff Reaper records Saturday night, but instead you didn't. Whatever, dude. :)
