Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Also, there are a bunch of really good bands with members right from this thread. We used to have a list. But I don't think its been updated/kept up with.
Don't forget to tell the new guy about all the sexual tension that lurks here! Lots of bro-mancing going on.
I used to have dreams like that, which would recur every year or two. Like visiting pocket universes of alternate reality. Sometimes pleasant, sometimes negative, sometimes just weird and disorienting.
talking about weird dream, i dreamt of my dad having breast augmentation and become a professional escort afterwards, i asked him why he does that. He told me that because that is actually his true self. The worse thing about the dream is the morning wood
Gotta feeling you will fit in just fine here.
I have been dreaming like a fiend since I found kava. It's like bottled REM sleep.

Of this I am not sure, but I doubt it. I honestly don't even know what Guitar Fetish is, but I still highly doubt it. They are cool dudes, with a tight grip on the STL metal scene and a rapidly growing popularity across Europe. I drink with Kenny (bass/vocals) every now and then when he hosts a trivia night called "Arbitrary Judgement" at a bar that he and several of my close friends and former bandmates work. Easily the most offensive trivia night I have taken part in. Victory results in free drinks. Generally something not as tasty that must be chugged. Last time I played I "won" two rounds. My prize was 3 pints of stag that had a starburst floating in them for like 20 minutes or so. The starburst had to be eaten. Marcus (guitar) bought my sunn 215b a few weeks back. Also a very cool gentleman.
I used to dig the BBE sonic maximizer in my compressor, but that was all I liked about the unit. Then one day I realized I was no longer a fan of the processing. diff'rnt strokes and what not.
The alembic pre is a fender stack, would either of those really be leagues beyond the BBE or even the Fender rack pre? Speaking of, I haven't heard much anywhere about the fender pre.
I wasn't really a fan of the baked in tone either. It made me feel like my bass and gear sounded like every other bass and rig with an active sansamp in the chain. Felt very vanilla. However, I was under the impression that that tone was more or less dependent on the presence setting, so all the way CC would be minimal to no sansamp tone.
Bye bye SB-2, Hello slightly smaller mountain of debt.
I am curious what models you speak of. I have seen several RPMs and RBIs used for like $150-$175. *Most* of the other preamps I have seen barring the solid state BBE pre, were closer to the $250-$400 range or far more. Really I am looking for flexible mid control (hence my interest int he RPM over the RBI) and a relatively clean signal. Most if not all of my dirt comes from pedals.
EEEEyup. Were they nice tots at least?
I got dreams like that from time to time, the coolest part is that it seems like all of them are in the same place/city. Mostly pleasant things, though. Or weird as fvck.
But I've always had pretty crazy dreams.
I find all the SA stuff to be very one dimensional. They do what they do very well, but not much else. I like to tone of the RBI better than the RPM, but I find the RPM to be a better all around option because of the parametric mid. Really the two in series is the way to go. Neither peg the 'Peg tone. All that said, I find the Aguilar TH to be a better option.
But can it drive a power amp? I was actually considering getting a GK MB800 for use as a preamp/backup power.
Just read from the Aguilar website that the TH pedal can drive a power amp. Interesting. I don't know how I feel about my sole preamp being on the floor, but it could be cool. I have been intrigued by the aggies for a while, but never enough to drop the coin.
Melatonin does this as well, at least the first couple times you take it, or if you only take it once every several days.
FUGGGGG Just checked the bank and realized my bonus came through. FUGGGING GAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS.
HNNNGG thats sweet. Strangely though, my peaveys have left me bass gas free. I think I just have an amp fetish.
Besides just the "namesake" radness, I tried out a red Midtown at a local shop and it was killer. If it'd been Pelham, I'd've taken it home. I could totally gig with a Midtown and my EpiBird (and the Chinabacker).
