Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

So, I emailed CL guy with the Peavey preamp - his girlfriend that I was supposed to meet tonight forgot to take the preamp with her so now I wait until Thursday when dude is back in town. Frustrating but he's still in communication at least so hopefully I get the thing. I WANT IT.

Sabbath next Friday, roadtrip to motor city for that one, don't care - Sabbath.

Other than that busy busy busy. Work, school, band, work, school, band.
 
Who's got that kind of time?! Ha!

I just decided I can either keep the Custom Shop J or the Dingwall Super J, not both. Leaning toward keeping the Super J

Sell the CS Jazz, keep the Super J, buy another Precision. After all the different types of cheap ripoff, respectable name brand stock, high end made to order and custom basses I've owned...I like my DIY pine body P bass with the Mighty Mite neck best. Knowing and accepting your gear preferences is pretty difficult when there's so much cool stuff out there to try.
 
After trying a few things it's very possible I'm just not a jazz bass kinda dude. Every time I play one I just wind up trying to make it sound like a P bass
I always want to like jazz basses, but I just can't. The bridge pickup is so much less useful on its own than the one on my Rickenbacker.
 
My happy place.

Really comas of most varieties. Green comas, food comas, exhaustion comas and riff comas. Basically everything that puts me down for the count. It's not that I crave death, it's more that I want to sleep through life.

Me and you both man...me and you both.

I love the look of a custom colour Jazz, especially with a matched headstock. I think a Shoreline gold Jazz, matched headstock, with binding (inlays can go either way, I like dots and blocks), lollipop tuners, and the covers is one of the coolest looking basses ever. Or Burgundy Mist. But I prefer the sound of the P-bass by far. When I use the jazz, it's almost always neck pup full on, bridge pup full of, to try to get as close to a Precision as possible.
