Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

The only thing that could make this day better... Im currently listening to the first mix of the Shogun EP. Tonez are burly AF.
I'm working on that muff, just been really tired and frustrated after work this week. I have the resistors in and the case is semi finished. Haven't decided if I want to label the knobs or not, it will have 6 and 3 switches.
Also found some inspiration for another build I'm starting, a DS1. This is just phase one of the finish. I painted the black poopie tonight and put on two coats of clear. I'm going to wet sand it a bit and then paint some words and stuff on it. Clear, wet sand, clear, wet sand. I also have some sweet knobs that are very similar to the OG DS1 knobs, but jumbo sized. Undecided for the LED. Orange, white or red. Blinding of course.
I've heard that a DS1 built with better quality components makes a world of difference, so I haven't decided if I want to build it stock or do the various mods outright.
Anyway. Progress pic.

Give me some advice lads.
Bands been contacted to open for a larger band touring from another city. I said sounds cool, and told them about numbers we pull and whatever. Now they are demanding that we don't gig within 3 weeks of it and asking how good we'd be at promoting predate tickets.
Is this normal or should I tell them to bugger off?

asking to not playing the same city just before or after the gig is not uncommon.
as long as they're not asking you to buy the tickets yourselves i don't see a reason to not play.

The Night Light in Oakland has one as their house cab.
As long as they're not demanding you pay them any money, I'd say it's fine.
Not this genre but I saw the Arcs last night in Richmond. Nick Movshon's rig with that light blue trim and the sparkly tolex gave me a gear chub. I wish he had the Gibby Grabber with him like when I saw him with Antibalas.
Tell em to fugg off.
Edit: was assuming you had to buy & re-sell tickets, though.
I've been to Colorado Springs as a kid
Anyone ever lived there or in Colorado?
I know @JoeVictim does. Kinda getting the mountain or coast itch.

I was thinking of asking you about Southwest Texas. I have been watching some videos of a guy living off grid out there. Low humidity, scores pretty good on the weather variety index, and for steadier barometric pressure. Looked like some mountains too and still some bits of green vegetation. Dude bought a large amount of land for $1000 and only pays $300 a year in taxes. No building codes, and still has the internet.

Been a dream of mine to do that someday.
I would have to get a lot handier with practical skills thougj.
Anyone know what the ideal humidity for guitars/basses is? And what the minimum humidity to avoid damage is?
The vb215 gets its first gig tomorrow night. I have no idea why these cabs aren't so popular it's just been booming at practice sounds heavy as hell. I traded a dude a hartke 410 for it. He played two gigs with it and hated towing it around. We'll see but I couldn't be happier with how it's sounding.
My parents go out there every year or so, I've never been really other than passing through or one nights stay in 2009.
It's beautiful but quite empty obviously.
I'm just tired of extreme heat and humidity. Figured mountain views and dry air would be a really nice change.
Holy crap the new Gretsch Tom Petersson 12-string White Falcon is so damn cool...
Yeah I think the high humidity on the east coast is the cause of my chronic sinusitis and main migraine trigger so yeah I am ready to bolt myself. Well do some vacationing in the Southwest to see if that helps, then bolt if possible.
Yeah I did my last college report on earthships. Would be cool to live in a place with no building codes or codes that allow for building of earthships and tiny homes. Or just buy a couple sheds and be like Bubbles.
