Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

#34,382
Oof looks like I accidentally got us kicked out of the "studio" we were in today. Anyone else had issues with engineers unable to take criticism on things they've tracked. He tried to time align our drums and it sounded like absolute crap when he was done. When I told him I thought that the drums on that song needed some work he flips out on me about how I don't know poopie about recording and all this. Oh well. I'd rather not work with anyone else who can't be wrong.

Speaking of movies: saw Crimson Peak this weekend.
Got to say even if the story was a bit simplistic I rather enjoyed it.
Guillermo del Toro has got that moody ambiance thing down pat.
On that same note I would consider this film to be ruin porn . A house on the verve of collapse has never looked so good.


Also previews for Krampus look good even if they got the date wayyyyy off.

so around 8 months ago I placed an order for and G&L SB2. Got it 3 months later and the truss rod was not accessible, it was like the chenille routed in the neck was too deep and the truss rod was counter sunk into the back of the neck and there was a very bad buzz on the open D (i had to put a pieces of paper under it to make it stop). I sent it back and asked for the neck to be replaced. got it back a couple months later and the was not bubble wrap of packing in the case and the heel joint at the body was cracked. Also the D string still buzzed and there was a small indent the the back of the neck finish which makes me think this was not a new neck. I was discussed and requested a refund, tried to get my duties back a couple times and said F it.
Fast forward to now and I still love that tone and am thinking of ordering another (from a Canadian dealer this time).
Am i ********?

Who was it that said doing the same thing repeatedly expecting different results is the definition of insanity?

Jesus, woke up feeling like I was gonna explode. Nothing comes, then a hard bit prairie dogs it's head out. Wad up a paper poker and probe. Snaps off and like two straight feet of the shurt spurts out like a brown mamba.

That is all

my 83 L2000 needed some minor neck replaning, but the 93 LB100 and 2011 Sb-2 have been perfect, gonna be trying to get a mini fridge today for the evil turnip beer unveiling and then we're gonna have another practice before friday's show, everybody at the school has the flu, therefore i'm trying to ignore my kinda sick floating feeling and still get stuff done

Anybody with any experience with the Sabbra Cadabra pedal from Catalinbread? Just heard of its existence, and Iommi in a box is mighty tempting for my guitar rig.

No, but there is one on GC Used for $129 if you decide to pick one up. The name is misspelled in their system so it's been there a couple months.

(Though GC changed their shipping policy so they make money on shipping now, shipping for a pedal is around $16.)
