Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

For guitar I prefer silicon diodes in a rat. Just add a second one in series to one of the clipping diodes for asymmetrical.

But yeah, pretty much any stock rat isn't going to be great for bass.


Yeah that would double the forward voltage on one side. Definitely a possibility. A 1N914 and LED would be a closer gap, I should probably just socket the diode pads.
 
I used to smoke and drink at practices at the beginning. Mostly drink. But the guys started to drive to practices and I thought it was kinda unfair that I can get wasted and they can't. Now we play all sober.
Not much going on lately, lots of work so I'll stop being dead broke soon. GAS is slowly building up.

Stick one of the Artec clones into the bass of your choice?

I had it wired up originally with a single output, but the other pickups just buried it. So, I cut in another hole, made two outputs, and then I run it into an LS2 and I can just stomp it on for extra muddy thunder at my leisure. I actually enjoy it enough that I think I'd like to do it to a MIM Fender P instead of the SX cheapie I've been using (although I've got another one of those Fender cabronita pups coming to replace remaining Jazz, first).

Nice FrankenJ!
 
Blew an 18 in the folded cab last night at Shogun prac...good thing the new emi Sigma Pro 18 is waiting for me at home!!!


What do you guys do with old blown drivers? I have 4 eminence 15s from my peavey 215s and only one works. I don't think they are worth much at all but there has got to be a better solution than the dumpster.

Maybe CL ad, $20 a piece for blown drivers?
