Still moving dirt around, I'll probably clean up the wiring a bit when I settle on a layout.

No room to spare whatsoever. What pedal board model is that? And What's the multi fx used for?

Hi all,

I’m building my first bass rig for a Mastodon-esque project. I haven’t been able to find any good deals on tube amps so I’m thinking about buying an acoustic 220 with 402 cab which are supposed to be in good condition. Is 400-500€ for this deal too much? Will this rig keep up with faster riffs or would it be better suited for classic doom? Another amp I was looking into was a vintage Peavey mark III for 380€.

The funny thing is:I hate gold. On a bass I always think of Slap-Gospel-Cheese.
The texture of anodized aluminum has more depth than opposed mirrors. Aluminum can be anodized in an assortment of colors but really gold is all you see on basses.
I'd love a black anodized pickguard on a black P.

Board is a Gator GPT pedal tote. FX600 is used mostly as a noise oscillator. The delay setting is always "recording" whether it's engaged or not, so if I set the repeats to infinite and kick on the delay I get a gnarly wash of noise. Run that through phase, flange and a second delay and I have enough swirly noises to choke a horse.

Happy Monday everybody. Cold and icy outside - officially winter. If you need me I'll just be drinking until spring.

That's how my day off was spend yesterday. Couple of bloody Marys, couple-five Moscow mules, then for some reason a shot of rumple, a stew, then a pitcher of beer.... How can you say no when they are giving you free tacos?

Yeah, got a six pack and a bottle of Evan Williams saturday night. My first night drinking in weeks, have been hitting the Kava pretty hard instead. Had fun, no hangover.

Spent yesterday finishing up winterization, new seals for the doors (which required some adjustment to the deadbolts), plastic on all the windows, salt on the driveway and sidewalks. House plants in from the 3-season porch. 3-season porch sealed up. Mini space heaters purchased and placed in porch and basement workshop. Plant lights up, house cleaned, then hit a wall of lazy and watched the Packers beat the Vikings. Not a bad Sunday...

Yep. That winterization routine is necessary for your heating bill. My landlord actually does all of it, because he pays for the heat in the unit below mine. If he doesnt seal my windows, it costs him $150 extra a month through the winter.

Yeah, can't imagine what our bill would be without all of the precautions. If we come in under last year I'll be happy. I miss having free heat, but it's worth it to have the house.

Our last apartment had free gas and water, but we had to pay electric. Heating was electric baseboard, which gets expensive so we baked a LOT (or just turned on the oven and let it run), would heat up the tiny 1-bed apartment pretty quick.
