Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I think the Palmer has roots in that circuit, but it sounds a bit different than the clips on that page. So I'm guessing that they made some modifications to the circuit.

EDIT:


Listening to clips online and it does sound pretty similar to the clips on the homewrecker page. Sounds a bit different with my gear, but yeah - sounds pretty damn close.

I'll be posting pics of a lot of the stuff. A fair amount is in pretty worn condition. Some of it is brand new. All is available to ship, but I really don't want to ship the 810, which will likely go for a total steal.

That B15 is gorgeous. I had one years ago, but well, we needed diaper money. That said, very impractical for anything but personal practice. But the TOAN.

Interested to hear more about that 810. Trade you a janky 215 for it :)
 
just wanted to post this, not really for any other reason than it looks cool

Very curious about your thoughts, do you have an expression pedal?

I saw moog has a dirt pedal with wah expression in function too.

Will let you know how I like it. I mostly want to try and cop a Micro Bass Synth fuzz sound. Yeah I do have one, it is mostly for Micah to have fun with as wah wah sounds have gotten kind of tired for me over the years. I have it hooked up to my EHK Pitch Fork so Micah can have fun with it but man that is a terrible sound lol. Think I am going to sell off my EQD Speaker Cranker, Behringer Noise Gate, and Behringer Super Fuzz as a package deal. The Pork Loin has been so epic, a sound I was totally missing, and stacking the ODB-3 or Slash Octave Fuzz is so wicked. If I could only have one pedal it would totally be the Pork Loin.
I think I may have to set up a bass as BEAD or get a five string and capo, so I can play E standard at the fifth fret. My damn wrist hurts me a little all over but playing in first position is truly brutal shooting pain. When I have to twist my left hand really far to left is what nails me. Or maybe I have to get my one them there fancy fanned fret basses one of these days. No more fancy chords on guitar either, power chords and riffs only. I might just sell off my guitar gear. I highly suggest never breaking your wrist as a kid or getting old, just don't do it :)
 
Where can I get one?And how much does it cost?

The bassist for local band Sounds Like Murder (played with 'em Wednesday night) uses a 5-string Jackson with the B string missing and similar tremolo setup. Not my thing, but it sure worked for him.

i've gotta go more geometric at some point, sometimes i see big al's cheap in LA, because they aren't traditional looking
 
So Levitation Post-Mortem. Didn't see Sleep, or Boris, or Sunn, or Purson. The tickets to those shows sold out in maybe a minute, and were being scalped for $100+ so f that noise. So instead, I ended up getting into this 12 hour show from 3pm to 3am, hanging out with all these cool psych/pop bands, and getting wrecked with a Spaniard and some swedes. Pretty much did that sort of thing every night, meeting up in these dingy bars and hanging out with foreigners and the bands, and also drinking in a Hearse. Met a bunch of guys from LA that said they'll help me get connected when I move down. Was it what I expected when I bought my festival tickets? No, and the weather excuse was some serious bull. But was it still awesome and totally worth going.

Looks so simple, might have to try one and do the mods... Just can't drill a case with my stuff.

Does anybody know much about these things?

Scale length? Is that bridge any good?

Based on my semi fluency in blurry that's an ibanez 2350B at 44 1/2" long overall so most likely 34" scale

That he does. He also bought a V4, VT40, VTM60, pignose b100, V4 412, 3 other 412s, an Eden 810, avatar 212 with G12 vin 30s, epiphani T212, two pedal boards, two brand new collapsible guitar stands, a horde of pedals, several cheap basses and guitars including a brand new warmoth wenge/bloodwood J neck and a bloodwood/ebony strat neck, 1000s of picks, 25+ patch cables, a bunch of speaker cables and instrument cables, a huge Ampeg 410(unsure of model), 3 power supplies. I'm sure some other poopie as well I just can't remember at the moment. Also an SVT that was either sold or put in for repair and never reclaimed do to LOL lack of funds.



He's a friend and everything but has succumb to schizophrenia I think. I feel for his family.
Oh. Sad. :(

That's a G&L? What a weird but cool looking bass.

The history, the collector aspect, recording and being able to practice with an all tube amp that isn't shaking my building are all major pluses. My only fear is that my Sunn and V4B will collect dust between practices and shows.

As for the 810, I can't really make any trades for any of the gear I'm selling that isn't mine, unless it's something that I could flip without much difficulty. The Eden 810 is a killer cab. Super heavy, but to my knowledge it's basically a 410XLT and 410XST stacked. Those two designs apparently compliment each other very well. When I was big on Eden, that's what everyone was doing, a 410 or 210 XLT on top of a 410 or 210 XST. The XSTs have ports on just one side and have better speakers that produce more lows. The XLTs have ports on top and bottom and are more mid rangey.

That said, for an $1800 cab it will probably go for a joke of a price simply because Ampeg 810s are so abundant and far cheaper. Like mine for example, that all probably be selling soon.

Oh. Sad. :(

Yeah it is. He is legitimately convinced that he is a sort of prophet. Before he got locked up again for some serious time, he was posting images, GIFs, YouTube videos, songs every few seconds on his wall and the walls of others. On a smoke break at work one time, I checked FB and had 0 notifications. After finishing the smoke, I checked again and had 12 notifications. All from this dude. No commonality outside of just being strange. He apparently wrote a letter to his brother and asked him to continue his work(abstract excessive posting) while he was in jail. He even included a couple pages of instructions.

I hate to say it but the dude is nuts. If he doesn't decide to keep the V40 maybe we can work out something. It's late 70s as best I can tell, 76-79.

That G&L is awesome.
