Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[The_Janitor]

So I have a USB Drive full of Day After the Sabbath comps and this song came up the other night when I driving back home from practice. Such a good psych/pop song:



Vocals remind me a bit of Jex Thoth.

Well, drummer guy gave me a non specific brush off. No time right now, etc., but we should jam again sometime in the future.

I'm sorry, but if you don't have time to drum then you're not a drummer. same can be said for any instrument.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Damn, Corey. I really want your luck to turn around.
We might be getting the old band back together (minus the drummer and extra guitar player), possibly. Super pumped about this possibility.
Singer/guitarist popped back up after 4 year absence, he's getting divorced. B*tch stabbed him in the hand...

Every drummer I've met in the last 2 years doesn't have time to drum, apparently. It's like the go to blow off I get every time.

Damn, that's harsh.

I don't even get upset anymore, I have zero expectations. I'm just trying to drag myself out of the depression of not even playing for myself anymore. I made myself a promise if this thing didn't pan out I would push myself hard to write material by myself and finish it. Even if I have to program drums and play them through a PA or stereo to jam along at full volume or something, I just want to play loud and jam again.

Santa gave me an earlier present. Micah's biodad got sent to jail for not paying child support. So since we have to spend the whole day at Sarah's family's house every year for Christmas, he always stumbles over and plays father of the year handing Micah some gift from 7-11 he picked up on the way over. Hard as hell every year to not crush his fingers when he puts his hand out to shake mine when he hasn't even called his own son on the phone in 3 years or more. So yeah I like Xmas 2015 so far. Plus the Krampus movie rocked!!!

Hope your luck changes soon Corey. I can't imagine having that shiny new amp and not being able to use it to its full potential.

Thanks man, me too. Like I said, even if I have to crank a drum track through a PA and just jam along, I wanna use that kickass gear.

 

[PokeyPrasch]

I have not seen a bench test of the BH series. Still, you couldnt give me a piece of TC gear.

To each their own. Only posted because I thought maybe someone would want it or flip it, not to start the long dead TC Elec wattage debate.

Have you looked at that beat buddy thing?
With your programming skills you should be able to come up with good sequences and transitions that might feel more like jamming than superior drummer. At least if if functions the way its represented to be.

Fixed that for you.

I have an opportunity to grab a peavey series III bass amp today for $45. Apparently it's fully functional except for a missing knob. Thoughts?

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Fixed that for you.

Pointer finger and connecting knuckle of the strumming hand. He might be ok. Hard to say at this point.

Acquire.

Mark IIIs are generally tanks. $45 is a steal for a backup amp.
I didn't like the Mark series as much as the earlier Centurion or Musician series, that doesn't mean others don't love them.

 

[CL400Peavey]

I have a mark series amp. Love it.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

I have a Mark III, filthy SS tone. I love it. Works great for guitar as well. I think I paid $50 for mine as well.

That amp has so many features and geehaws.
