Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Lazarus.Bird]

Kinda really digging these Fender Bassman 100T heads. Never considered Fender amps to be dirty heads but these 100T demos are definitely warming me up to them. The self-bias feature sounds pretty neat-o too.

I almost pulled the trigger on one awhile back. I'm still interested in them.

Also, Disney World is freaking awesome. Screw you guys.

I was down there last year for the big Cisco Live event and they kicked everyone out of Universal Studios and then opened it to just the Cisco people. All the rides were open and all the booze and food was free. It was freaking awesome. And Journey was performing haha. The new Transformers 3D ride at Universal is hands down by far the coolest ride I've ever been on in my life.

Looks like first jam with the new guitarist will be on Sunday - if it works out that'll be 8 whole days without a band.

I'm unreasonably excited.

 

[The_Janitor]

So the wife and I share the same kind of phone charger. As does our kindle. We go through micro USB cables like tissues. This time I manned up and got a wireless charger.
Holy **** that is some science fiction. Really neat stuff. Why can't everything work like this?

Got a link?

I guess it's harder not to go to Disney if your wife wants to go.

If your kid wants to go, I figure tell em Mickey died and you save yourself a little cash.



Prof. Bubba? Shrimp farm... Just sounds nasty.

LOL, it was a high intensive indoor hatchery type deal that actual paid well, which isn't the industry norm.

You are a better man than me LOL. Sometimes I will be at Busch Gardens with a full blow migraine and I am that guy/toddler. Two weekends back we went and they had this cool flight simulator movie experience things that you fly all around Europe. I should of known better since I had a migraine cooking but they talked me in to it. Well I get a bit of vertigo with migraines, and that flight simulator was tossing me all around and it was super hot inside so I got all sick, dizzy, and lightheaded feeling. I didn't grump and once the ol lady saw how sick I was so all I had to do was picture duty after that. I did keep saying you know if I got a bug zapper and put up some hammocks in the yard I would like it even better than being here during the summer, she raised one eyebrow...

Corey that's a great attitude I keep forgetting your wife has a bun in the oven.

Almost any good traits I have as an adult are from seeing someone else doing something and thinking "Oh sh*t, is that what I'M doing?". Many years ago I used to be really grumpy about going places and had that "Sure, I'll go, but I'm going to be miserable and I'm going to let you know all about it" attitude. Then I started seeing guys in their late 30's and early 40's on vacation or out and about with their wives, who looked like a judge sentenced them to be married and spend time with her as harsh punishment and it hit me how incredibly obnoxious and terrible that attitude is. So now whenever we go ANYWHERE (because all I wanna do is play music, build things or hang out at home, really), I keep the general attitude of "this is where I am, this is what I'm doing, I can choose to be happy or miserable". Whenever my wife looks at me to see if something is really irritating and looks at me expectantly or asks me if I'm ok doing something I usually say (and mean) "I'm not here to NOT have fun". It helps that my wife is my best friend and I like hanging out with her, so I generally like to see her have fun. The cynical part of my brain already works overtime, so the older I get the more I actively try to be open minded and hearted and enjoy things sincerely, because having fun or being in a good mood is usually a choice.

If it was up to me, I doubt I would have seen anything Disney theme park related in the last 17 years, but I've had fun every time we've gone. I'll enjoy taking our kid(s) eventually too, I'm sure. Feeding off someone else's enthusiasm is a good way to have a fun time anywhere.

Laz is right also, Disneyworld is freakin awesome. I had a blast when we went. I especially enjoyed the Animal Kingdom. They have monkeys you guys, MONKEYS.

I used to catch a lot of shows at the Hard Rock Café at Universal Studios City Walk, that was a pretty cool area.

I bet they'd haze you by cramming your skivvies full of shrimp like on jackass.

That is a great attitude, probably why I like photo duty the best, watching the ol lady and the little smiling so much. I like you take on people watching, I usually just like to see someone doing something strange or being socially awkward, but there is something to learn in all that.
And speaking of monkeys. Sunday we are going to a reptile show and one of the vendors sells Marmoset monkeys, a dream pet and future breeding project of the ol lady, so taking her to see them. Plus my two favorite restaurants are close by, so now I just have to decide sushi or BBQ, hmmm.

I'm going to let you guys in on some deep stuff. My greatest desire in life is to meet an orangutan, become friends with him or her and go on adventures. I'm still working on the first part. I've asked at pretty much every animal based live show I've ever seen, they never let you meet the orangutans. They're the A list celebrities of the zoo/animal park community, NO ACCESS.

[ampegfuzz]

Welp put together the black p bass yesterday and got some kinks to work out. The neck is crooked and I still need a string tree and need the headstock dyed. Also electric machete practice next week

 

[beebassdude]

ive got twin 16 month old girls both in daycare. there is no complaining about daycare costs in this thread, unless theyre coming from me hahaha.

every two weeks of daycare i say to myself "how much sweet gear was that?"

Then you read over on the Super Bassman 300 threads and go dammit I want some of that too.

$1255 for summer daycare up front for three months kicked my ass. Thats not even every day covered morning to evening...Several 9 to 3 days in there too... Could have been $1800.

Good part is I'll be spending more time with her this summer. She has the songs from Frozen stuck in her head. Keeps singing them on the way to and from school. Glad my kid is into music. Taking her to go see Ian Anderson in September. Need to school her on some Thick as a brick and Aqualung beforehand.

Foul!
This experience is totally irrelevant. Minimal lines and few to zero kids. Who wouldn't like that?
Now go back on a regular day and tell me your so excited.

Nothing makes a lass wet like seeing an unreasonably large pant tent that's writhing arrhythmically all over.

Give it a few years, I am sure one day I will come home and the ol lady will start off with the usual, I know you didn't want any more pets Joe, but this poor guy/girl needed a home and I couldn't say no, and and and it is so sweet and Micah loves it too lol. Then you can have/borrow it and get your adventure on.

I would cue up some instrumental afro-beat music to heighten the effect!

Awesome Adventures like eating raisins and how to knuckle down and groom!

Live show is no touching and for everyone. You need to pay to be VIP and monkey around. Or go to a Mexican zoo, they might let you do anything for a price... Probably don't even need protection.

Plus free booze and food, that's a massive tab avoided.
