Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I am only a one foot in kvltist. I love my peavey basses, but I do not really care for the amps as much. I have a bass 400 and it's OK. The clean sound isn't terrible but it isn't super flexible and anyone who thinks it is a loud amp has not experienced a loud amp. Not that it wouldn't do well for a small gig, but it certainly will not doom. That is just my opinion. I used to have a peavey microbass practice amp that I actually liked a lot, but it didn't even compare to an Eden practice amp that I currently have. I gave that away to a kid who's mom I worked with who couldn't afford a birthday present and wanted to get her son something to encourage him to play music. I sold her a parts bass I put together for $50 and gave her the microbass and a cable. I felt like half of a good samaritan after that. I'd love to get my hands on a 3620 though. Those cabs look sweet and I did love the black widow in my old sunn 215b.

Yeah, I've never owned a Peavey Amp but they seem fine, I've never been that impressed except by their longevity but I know someone locally who plays through a monster Peavey rig with a T-MAX head and his sounds great.
 
Fugg it, buying this today hopefully...I need all peavey. Been wanting a t45 for a while.

Regarding dirt box feedback, most of my fuzzes will feedback if I'm not playing or if the strings are unmuted. Most of my ODs and distortions don't. I've been using my gated fuzzes a lot lately, though, and that obviously helps. Plus, with an ISP Decimator at the front, that extra bit of noise gets cleaned up early in the signal and doesn't hit the fuzz and start howling.

@bassboysam Get some good Chicago food!

@kleinenenten I'll record a couple quick clips of the two BSW tones I (currently) like. One wah and one synth. Still trying to dial in a filter tone. Finally going to try them out with band tonight.



Wow, nice finish. I would impulse buy this if I hadn't just shelled out for parts for my Squier yesterday.


got some authentic deep dish chicago pizza last night....delicious

So I have the big ambient stereo board almost done. Still leaves a few pedals open. I figure tuner daisy chains into a blue beard, bad stone into the mini delay.

I had this idea the delay oscillates as is, but if I dialed back to close to that it's usable still. My question is what is available or easily build able to basically go from the normal delay > amp, switched to delay signal fed back through signal chain and out the same original output. That way I can go from normal, delay, or crazy walk of oscillating repeating noise.
 
I have one delay set for oscillating craziness and another further down the chain for normal delay settings.

Could work, but then I need another delay when really I seldom use it. I think an LS-2 and a y cable could achieve it, but that's more space and stuff. I was hoping for a passive cheap tiny malekko sized option. I'm not very versed in loops and such though.
 
Rough practice last night. Everyone is tired from work. But at least were all working. Show this weekend at the Golden Bull should be a hoot.
I see Satori and Catapult the Dead will be playing the same venue soon as well. I can make that one for sure as it's a practice night. Will make for a drag ass Thursday but that's ok.

I'll try to go. Not sure if I have work yet on saturday, in which case I might be hard to pry out of my chair when I get home. But I'll try.
 
lots of bands just don't bother with vocals. :D





i don't know what you mean. it's just a tone control. noon sounds pretty flat. but it's so subtle it's hard to tell.
See, I hate tone controls, though, on pedals. Absolutely despise them. At least noon is apparently pretty flat?

All my dirty pedals squeal. Not all my pedals though. The joyo UD is probably the best at not squealing but it's also the lightest dirt.

I think it's the dirt combined with unshielded or poorly squiers generally with passive single coils.



LOL

What did the scab come from?
My basses have passive single coils. That might be it. Every fuzz or dirt pedal I've ever used has squealed.

the two on the left are the squealers
Dude, if your tuner is squealing, I think there might be something seriously wrong with it. :p

Your opinion that it is not a loud amp is wrong. :p

I think it's going to depend on the distortion and tone you are looking for. I tend to run stainless rounds with a fairly bright clank to them to cut through the guitar distortion. But i tend to go after a more obnoxious bass tone.
