Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Thanks, it is on its way. Not sure if you saw my practice tower or pics from my last show, both are sweet though. I'm very grateful to have stumbled on some choice gear in the past year or two.
2016 will see the addition of another dually, and probably another power amp. I love the tube amps but don't love the weight and am always nervous about something happening to them. I'm growing more and more confident that the ideal choice for me is the beta into a power amp into a dually stack. I love the beta EQ and having built in stereo capabilities or clean blend is pretty awesome. I'm thinking carvin for the amp. I'd like to give Crest another crack, but that debacle really left a sour taste in my mouth.
LOL
His only sales pitch that hooked me was lifetime repairs and mods. Because you spent a ton on his gear and your taste might change. if he's not just saying that, it's a cool policy.
Never knew about that happening. I'll give them some benefit of the doubt as they appear to do more than cash grab rap.
Cynical me thinks though this is just a cash grab. It's not about the art it's about exclusivity. The concept falls apart if you're not famous. Still being a cynic I'd assume it's not their best work, otherwise they'd do a wide release and make even more money.
You don't put Nevermind on that record, you put some outtakes from Sliver on it.
Extra extra cynical me hopes it's just an endless loop of the band laughing.
The greenboy cabs take a lot more consideration as the play between the speaker, mid driver and tweeter is Very hi-fi.
Not at all similar to most bass cabs "shrill noise switch"
That said I have a dually and bassic. If my car could have held it, I'd have a 15/6 and sub. Now the 12" based cabs are out and if the 12 + 12 sub would have been available and fit, I probably would have gone that route. I assume it could hold just as well as the dually or maybe better.
I got nothing but Happy Thanksgiving Gents!
Did drink my first alcohol in 6 months or so since I am back in Barville USA. Had some Crispin cider on tap and some 1664 brew that was delicious.

gf is doing some party on the west side, might go to the sports bar and watch the late football game, think they are having steak and eggs all day, happy thanksgiving!!!
Oof, stuffed. Back home from the cousin's house. Nice that they live five minutes away. Blasting The Machine and doing a little tidying up. My poor wife has been at work since 7:00 am, with no end in sight.
Booze free thanksgiving for me, calm with kava.

Happy thanksgiving day everybody 3.5 beers + some nice single malt scotch in, dinner up soon, at the sis in laws place, 0.5 miles from home, not hosting, not traveling, best of all worlds, desert hike with the kids this morning, letting em veg out with the latest How To Train Your Dragon Netflix exclusive series until dinner, life is good, be safe everybody
Kalm with Kava is having a black Friday sale tomorrow. And the Aluball is also discounted through Cyber Monday.
Soooo....2 hour drive to Mom's house today, and I 'd been hankering for the first Clash album. Dear me, what a brilliant record. No clue what Strummer/Jones are singing, but don't care.
Moms and I ate pierogis with sateed onions and mushrooms for dinner. Did a lot of nice conversation, which made her feel good. Good deep stuff, not just politey blah blah.
Hope y'all had a safe and happy!

Hellcat baby!
Sexy!
Holidays are a time suck.... Wednesday night I carved 45 turkeys and 30 hams.
I would avoid that cab. Look at the peavey BW 1505-8DT's for that 215. The ones with 5mm of xmax.
I have tweeters in all my greenboy cabs, and I generally leave them on. The tweeters and the implementation greenboy uses are worlds apart from commercial tweeters.
Those of you with fast cars/bikes. How do you take advantage of that?
I've never seen the appeal other than style appreciation because at least anywhere I've lived the intestate is never very clear and cops abound. Unless you just expect to take defensive driving annually?
Other option would be country roads, but even they aren't fabulous stretches. That's not including any pot holes, various animals or farm equipment going 1/4 speeds on them.

Track days are fun. Lots of good 1/4 surface roads in MI. It also helps to have friends in the PD and know when shift changes happen.
Also remember that police in states other than Texas will likely just give you a ticket, rather than detain you, strip your car to the frame looking for contraband and generally try to ruin your life.
If you have money for a nice sports car, then the occasional speeding ticket isn't a huge deal.

And I have not gotten a speeding ticket driving a sports car. I have gotten one driving a mini van loaded with band gear for coasting down a hill at 5 over and not riding my breaks.
