Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

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

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.

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!

Truly savage.

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:

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.

if i recall correctly they used to ship with a clear pickguard too, the main reason i'm buying this is because my rat tail sounds really biting with jazz basses
