Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

View attachment 693380

610 got upgraded to an 810. I am super excited to rage this rig at loud ****ing volumes. ****.

There's just something really right looking about a 2000s stradling two cabs.


Also, GAS has hit real hard for tracking down a proper Gibson EB-3. Thanks, Jack Bruce, cause I just have money curning a hole in my wallet...

Jack Black came to the art show and I ended up talking to him about music and horror movies for twenty minutes, his goosebumps movie is up against krumpus and the evil dead, he said he's into doom metal and peaches :)

Peaches and Doom Metal? Man, if/when I move to LA, I should hang out with Jack Black and eat peaches.
 
Three new songs arranged. Lyrics for one in the bag. Second is going to be a slower (for us) instrumental. Third that needs lyrics is a blazer, needed a bridge.
Blood in the Water took some time getting it right with the lyrics and modifications from the original concept... But we have it.
Show coming up in October 23rd should see at least one if not all three of these fleshed out live for an audience.

Oooo I also snuck some wah into a whole note doomy outro today without having everyone freak out about it! :)
I'm pretty blatant about my wah use in Catapult, but no one has ever questioned it.

Jack Bruce also replaced the bridge pickup with another mudbucker, as I recall.

Swedish band called The Hollywoods was pretty heavy instro...not all surf.

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet and Man...Or Astro-Man? did some fairly heavy instro stuff in the vein of surf. Active in the 90s.

You might try to find stuff by The Outsideinside or the Shut the Fvck Up ep by The Mono Men...

I've been messing with it more woodsheding the songs at home and it sounds a little more organic, happy about that. Song can work with or without but it adds another flavor I tend to like.

As for Jack at least we have some more choices for fuzz as opposed to cutting speaker cones. :)

His Warwick signature has a MEC humbucker in the bridge position that looks similar to the Gibson mudbucker, but I'm fairly certain it's a totally different design. As for when he was in Cream, he used a 1961 with a 3 way toggle, a '61/'62 with a standard Varitone, and then a '63-'65 model with changed speed knobs. Pictures of him post-Cream also show him with a '67+ Eb-3 and EB-0.

Yeah, I've spent way too much time lookings these things up.

Yeah, but have we really improved on that formula? ;)

He could work with you on a new pickup and probably custom wind you one for either position.
Met him a long time ago while copying some of his designs at the copymat I was managing in the east bay.
Was pretty guarded of his copy. ;)

As for Jacks tone? It's unique for sure. Not many are willing to sacrifice speakers as he did. :)
