Godflesh, Sisters of Mercy and Pop Will Eat Itself all had very successful careers armed with a drum machine.

I dig this look but not a huge fan of signature basses, especially ones with lame inlays.

Hah, already have one essentially. Old pic.I have one of these in black and maple. It's somewhat similar-ish, "PSG" is what I call it. Electra Westone Phoenix.
I'll sell it. haha.
Think I found the new doom/psych/heavy blues machine - '70s Hagstrom HB short scale with humbuckers. If the neck is anything like the 8 string Hag I had a while ago, it's gonna be a fun and fast playing m-f'er.
Truly savage.Played my first show last night for my solo project. The space I played is a local microbrew that opened in the last year. It used to be a garage and the owner essentially built the place out himself so it has a very raw, minimal thing going on. Because all the beer is brewed on site and those vats take up half of the floor plan, you can't really cram that many people into the bar area. We brought 25-30 friends and there was another group of 5 or so people hanging out and, while no one was crammed in, you prolly could only fit about 15 more people in there comfortably.
The sound of the place was awesome for what I do. I run tons of reverb and the high ceilings and the big metal vats behind gave off all these crazy reflections off of the already crazy amount of reverb coming out of my speakers. I felt like I was playing the room, adjusting a bit of my attack in certain passages to coax out the room reverb. That was a blast. I would love to play more big, weird spaces. I think it went over well. Everyone seemed pretty jazzed up after my set. Gotta work on booking the next one!

Do you have any music online we can hear?
I hope one day to have an experimental one man project ala Thrones, so you're living my dream right now.
Thrones rules. Pretty much everything Joe Preston touches is gold imo. Def an influence.
I do. I just released my first single on Bandcamp. The plan is to release a song every couple months for the next year or so. You can download it for free if you dig it (just enter $0). This first track is bit more ambient for most of it. The material that will be coming out over the next few months is a bit heavier:
...But The Rebar In My Love Does Not Forgive, by Deathness
Didn't care for the sound of the Jazz, but I think they look better than the P.. and that one's killer.
Not so sure about the sparkly pickguard, but the trans finish and matching head are aces.
Hmmm...I would say "I got nothin", but I actually do.
The wife and I have put down our deposit on our 5-day trek to see Mt. Everest. It's not a Base Camp trip, but one to just get close to the peak. the Base Camp trip takes a month, and we couldn't justify it.
