Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Well, I ****ed up my muff enclosure once again. Tried to apply a second coat of clear and BAM cracking finish all around. It almost looks cool except it doesn't. I'm not sure if I'm going to redo it again or just wire the damn thing. Pretty disappointing because it was looking great. Oh well live and learn I guess.

Don't feel bad, I have a close friend who got really good at making his own pedals and he refinished a few pedals over and over trying to get them right (especially with hammerite and sparkle finishes). Eventually he got amazingly perfect and clean with his builds and just bought prefinished enclosures, even though he finally got really good at painting them himself. He just didn't get down with how much effort it took to get them to a level of quality he wanted.

Still bummed i didnt score that AIMS 100watt tube pa head...theres a Univox in reverb for $550+ shipping but that extra $150 makes it too expensive for my liking. Must resist GAS.

Edit: theres an aims on reverb now for cheaper than the first one...problem is its labeled local pickup only, sent the guy a message asking if hed ship it, hoping for some good karma.

Pretty sure Ron from Bongripper has said those NV bergs were his favorite cabs ever.

Also Im running a ported 810, sealed folded 18 and a frankensteined 218 that was supposed to be sealed but ended up ported on accident, sounds great though. All peavey

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's his old NV215 I just got. It just showed up. Just have to wait till practice tomorrow night. And then the meatsmoke early next week. awesome times.
