Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Julian maybe with the peavey hookup...

Been fiending for a 3620 since my guitarist has been running 4 cabs. I think running one massive cab will be more van space and load in/out efficient. Run it as a stereo cab, Vulcan through the 18s which I will replace with my old PA 18s. And Dunwich pre/power through the 10s which will be replaced with Eminence legends for a ampeg fridge sound. Two 4 ohm sections with wiring for 8 or 2 ohms running everything. And if there is room I can add my folded 18 to the 10s and the Dunwich for massive clean bass. Plus I'll be DIing with the dunwich at most shows so the 10s are really monitors for me.

We'll see if that holds true. So far it's all older than me, and either in therapy or is a therapist... This one is medicated and a therapist in training so it's double or nothing crazy.

If I could Find someone my age with normalcy that'd be cool, but then again maybe I don't attract normal. The only girl that's flirts with me on a regular basis (cashier at a taqueria I frequent almost daily) asked how old I was and then said she was 17! Cute and Legal, but yikes. Also i love the tacos too much to risk her telling the kitchen to make my tacos with 100% chance of diarrhea, if I pissed her off. Currently she does special orders for me so I like where I am at... Food first



Likewise, but the rosewood fretboard on the mapleglo is a serious disappointment to me.



She dug our glasses... while they were on :smug:

I more and more feel, the initial first encounter has to be really random, or constructed to appear so. I hate the concept of pickup lines so you won't hear me doing that. From there generally all girls have kept it going, I just make suggestions, and ask about them.

And yea, Sam's wife is really chill to not be intimidated by his bass harem. I want to see all 9 basses and his rigs now!

You should ask her for a "Special order" taco. No sour cream, gonna add your own.

Reserving final judgements til I see her again, but I think I found another older than me, kinda or very crazy girl... The trend of 2014 it seems. Maybe i won't end up hauling this one to rehab; or be asked to hang out all the time for no real reason with no fun.

This one I went to the wrong apartment complex looking for a friend and she said hey. I kept walking and when I realized I was in the wrong place turned around and snapped my fingers like a weird person would. She appeared above me over the railing asking if I was calling her, said no talked a min, she got my number and texted me if I was busy tonight. Quite a few red flags were raised, but we had fun at her place and she said to get back with her soon. I'd maybe not, but she's a damn cute one. She started making out with me at the bar, then after at her place says she never does PDA (not like wow not until now, like she acted like that event did not occur).
No pic, no cute girl. ;-)
 
Also NAD!

Got him done to $50. Good thing there some definite humming going on, but it makes sound. The rat fur is less than desirable but cant complain. This thing is huge! The VU meter is cool, can't wait to max it out with some fuzz.

If I wouldn't say "youve gotta hear this!" And be proud of it when I hand it to someone, I wouldn't even think of releasing it.

We decided to just put instrumental on bandcamp as a demo. Well, when we can.

Especially since we are going to have something a million times better in a few weeks.

Also, sweet score, Max!
 
I would say dont spend to much money on it but Id release it...someone will pay to listen to it.
Maybe include it as a bonus goodie for a release of something else.

As for being happy with the sound... I'm still not completely satisfied with the sound on Catapult's album (bass is not loud enough :p ) but at a certain point you have to kinda let it go, especially on something like our album with so many things that fixing one thing completely might shag up something else.
