Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Enemy of the Sun, then Through Silver in Blood, then Times of Grace (preferably with the Tribes of Neurot companion disc).

I don't normally post in here but in a bass player mag Troy Sanders recommend 3 albums and one of them was Times of Grace and it took me a while but I eventually got into it and man was it worth the effort, still haven't heard it with the Tribes of Neurot over it but now that I'm reminded about it I'm going to find a copy.

Hey guys I'm building a rack case and I'm trying to decide what color I want to dye it. What would you choose between these two?

Black.


Or purple. Super jelly of that pre.

Purp de herp de urple

I thought about doing black, but everyone's got a black rack case, I kinda wanted something unusual. I'm leaning towards purple as well.

Also Yeah I'm super pumped about the mostly harmless. I plan on making a pair of matching cabs after I finish the rack. case

Nervous day.. Our kid got assessed at school a few weeks ago, and it was decided to bump him up into 2nd grade. Today is his first day in the new class and its weird to do it mid year. Im REALLY hoping the little fella finds new friends in there and feels at home. Being a kid can suck if you have the wrong other kids around you.
 
So I've been doing some theory research or some less smart version of that. I've come up with this idea for my Ibby SG.

Basically DADGAD can quickly be Open D minor, or open D by just changing the g string, and open E by capo'ing the 2nd fret with open D. Wide range of styles and things can be learned with just a little change.

Lap Steel really needs a better set of strings, I think a .56 set of d'addition chromes I have would be kinda cool. Real straight to the point tone without noise or any harshness. Stands above things.

Mid year? No summer vacation where you're at?

Hope the little dude acclimates quickly and the rest of the kids are cool to him.

I got put in the smart kids classes in 4th grade through junior high. I was fine, still kept my regular friends - the rest of the class however, a lot of them didn't do so great socially. Nerds with inflated egos can really be their own worst enemies sometimes.
