Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Skype interview for job in Mesa, AZ tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck, gents.

It went as well as it could have I think. If I don't land this job, at least I will know it isn't because of my cover letter or the actual initial interview.

Fingers crossed, but I have several apps in all around parts of Arizona, Colorado, Oregon and Texas. Something is gonna give.

Thanks for all the well wishes.
 
Been outrageous at work as of late, but the light at the end of the tunnel is quickly approaching. One more week of insane hours and then back to 5 days a week 8-10 hour days. I'm excited and my guys are excited.

Congrats Julian! Glad you are moving to a better job. You deserve it for sure!

@Muddslide good luck my man! Hopefully in 6 months you have a sweet new job and can laugh off the struggle for a mini doom rig while blowing windows through your newly acquired deafness actuator of doom.

Max, best of luck at the new gig as well!


I am financially ready to order my Dually. Still undecided on some things though. I am tossed over color, tolex/duratex, plastic penn elcom/metal corners and metal/cloth grill.

These are my feelings. Visually I am thinking black with a tan or woven grill cloth and black metal corners. I am also really into the look of dark green tolex with black grill. Eventually(next bonus check) I will add an identical cab to the stack, so that pushes me towards the locking plastic corners. I don't know how well they actually lock but I feel like 2 of these stacked with serious wattage on top should probably have the added security. Now, the duratex/tolex and metal/cloth debate is fierce. I love the look of tolex and cloth, but being such an investment I feel like I should protect it as much as possible. What are your guys thoughts? I don't tour, just local shows for now. I take excellent care of my gear as well. I like the touch up factor of duratex, but all of the pics I have seen make it look a little cheap to me, but that's a form/function debate.




I whored this photo over social media so I apologize if some of you have seen this multiple times but I thought I'd share my current practice rig. '74 V4B and 71' 2000s + peavey basses and a buncha fuzz.

I got the tubes put in and fired up Mr. Grumpy real quick this morning in the warehouse at work. I did a quick play through, turned all the knobs, checked out the mid controls, Super useful low/med/high points on the frequency selector. Just sounds like it's supposed to, loud, clean, simple controls and easy to dial in a good tone. The gain knob cranked is kind of a medium ovedrive, raw enough to sound cool without getting squished and blown out sounding. I only got the master volume up to noon, which was pretty loud.
 
So I feed leela at 7:30 am and pm every day. I've noticed now that she's potty trained, she poops basically 2-4 times in those 12 hours and holds it the other half of the day. If I take her out she only pees or does nothing. Anyone know why or have similar experience?

Also weird question, but at the dog park, I've noticed male dogs take a shine to her. Yesterday one rather large dog tried to have his way, I broke it up but it got me wondering. She's not a very big dog, and she's fixed. Is it a danger I need to be wary of if some big doofus male dog tries that, could he hurt her internally, as she's not meant to breed anymore?

Oh she wrestled, but luckily she was the wiener. He had to keep it in his fur pants and move on.

My friends dog was an avid doggy park rapist, then one day during an attack a third dog pounced. what resulted was a yelping awkward train of three boy dogs realizing they totally went too far, but didn't know how to coordinate a way to stop until they all fell over and parted ways with very little eye contact and no offers for breakfast or numbers exchanged.

My little female pug/boston terrier mix is a bit of a sexual criminal as well. She loves to hump strange dogs with her ghost penis.
 
I played Mr. Grumpy with my standard tuned pine P bass and my pedalboard for about 20 minutes. Boss ODB-3, Joyo Ultimate Drive, Dunwich Cthulhu and Dunwich Volt Thrower. Ran it into my Ampeg 810 and my Faital loaded Dually. All the pedals sounded good with the right combinations and cabs. Mr. Grumpy really likes the 810, the Dually is a bit bright sounding with such a hifi amp, but I could probably tame it with the right settings and pedal.

I turned the master volume all the way up.
