Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Whelp waiting on some verification of my musicmaster research via tdpri - aka the day the blues lawyers met askrere

Turns out from what I've gathered this just like the Ibanez is a rare bird.

00125 serial number, next recorded lowest is a guys 00648. The first addition of the first addition. Nothing remarkable to me, but apparently chrome corners, a flat pilot light, terminal vs turret board and "music master" vs "musicmaster" on the front is a very short lived version. The space in the name boosts the mid range I suspect :rolleyes:

More inclined not to mod it, emailed a guy about a trade for an ampeg reverberocket
 
Ah! Thank you, Mr. Janitor man.

Please bear in mind these are rough and raw junk from the garage. Headphones facilitate hearing the bass, but you ain't missing much if you can't hear it either.

Just selected a couple of our tracks that happened to have a somewhat Wild West theme. We do a lot of different material, instros, some horror-themed stuff, originals with vox, some covers of old fuzz classics, etc.

Most of our stuff is recorded on 30 year old cassette 4 tracks.

Hope you enjoy.

Or not.

PS: The name of the project is NOT Muddslide.

So I mentioned this idea before, but was giving more thought to it.

An all tube GK based head. Preamp something between a 800rb and mb series.

Pots would be Pre - treble - hi mid - low mid - low - boost - post. Also low cut, low boost, mid cut, hi boost switches. The boost and some EQ switches be ft. Switchable.

Tube front of whatever needed, then a 100 to 200 watt kt88 power section set for low thd. Maybe a 50-100-200w switchable one??

I've been on a Neurosis binge lately, even bought the reissue Times Of Grace on vinyl and now I'm gassin for a Boss CH-1. I had the TC Corona and didn't like it at all, now was it chorus as an effect, or just this pedal? GAS sure is a bvtch...
Chorus pedal cause of Dave's weird chorusy, reverbed out parts?

Is that even possible? I'm sure it would be amazing, if so.

What reverb is he using (Neurosis) it sounds great live but I haven't been close enough to get a good look at his board. I just remember he had a custom switcher that's about it. All the reverbs/delays I've tried on bass sound super muddy.

No idea what he's using.

Reverb is tricky. I use a Digiverb currently, but the EQ knob is kind of irritating and seems to only serve to make it different muddy. Needs a bit more treble, and I rarely use it for any regular riffs.
