Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Beats doing homework with my 6th grader. I had to be a dick to get her attention, don't like doing this, but pissing her off pushes her to focus a little more. This school starts separating classes and different teachers by subject at this grade. Not sure what the other public schools are doing in the area. This is going to be a challenging year for her, she seems to be afraid to ask questions in class... I'm encouraging her to speak up and dance on her desk till she understands what is being asked of her. I bloody hated school, now I'm working through it with her all over again. Main thing is not doing the work so much but getting her thoughts together to execute on assignments.

I made my rack ears for my first 400RB out of angle aluminum. Since this is a smaller form factor you could get some flat aluminum strip at your local ace... This could be cut and bent to cover the short side to mount the head and long side to the rack. This material us usually just under 1/8" thick and should be stout enough to hold it in place.

I do not miss those days. She'll be moving out before you know it though.
 
Recorded bass and click track for a ditty I wrote the minute I got home tonight.

My MXR fuzz crapped out apparently. Nothing but buzz through amp and 4 track, regardless of settings, volumes or cables.

My stepson's gf who just had their baby in April got hit by a car today while crossing a street in Norman. Broken pelvis, tailbone, wrist, collarbone and other things I am forgetting. Big hematomas on her head, one the doctor's are concerned about. Some of her internal parts are so bruised they can't assess damage. But she's conscious and can talk and they think her spine is okay.
 
How about buying/finding a broke head and only use the bottom and side mounts as a platform. Then drill the four holes in the platform in the same area where the rubber feet are on the bottom of the MB200.
Good idea, and I have a rack shelf, but that would block the 700RB's vent fan input. No bueno. I'm hoping to mount the 700RB, MB200 and a power strip/conditioner in a 4u rack. Gotta have the MB200 on top of the 700RB so I can make connections, which means I have to let the 700 breathe.

Keep the ideas coming!

That is terrible, sorry man, hope she heals ok.

Dang, that sucks on all accounts. Especially the accident. Best of luck to everyone.
