Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[mlove]

Well it's official, our new album will be available June 12th. I'm really excited about this one.

Stoked is me

Sorry buddy, i take it back.

To B or not to B?

Still haven't decided to make my nice new (to me) Peavey T-40 BEAD or not. On the one hand I really want to use it as my main bass and my one band just now plays in B (sometimes dropping that to A) but we haven't been playing much recently as one of the guys is super busy with other stuff. So maybe I'll end up finding a new band and playing in standard again...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Depends how much you would use a high G in regular old E standard. That's the nice thing about BEAD... it works, mostly, for stuff in standard, and it's also easy to find strings.

I might be wildly off base, but I have a suspicion the company name might be a joke/dig related to that. Having heard the term thrown around in the past by bandmates that equate expecting someone to show up within an hour of the pre agreed upon time, remembering how to play songs, to be equal to nazism.

I was hoping it was a reference to the Roman thing. Like Caesar and stuff.

There's a registered Packers bar in every state of the US, and most countries in the world...Hows that for a following, hmmm? Cheese heads unite!

I've always kinda liked the Packers. Partly because as I recall, the team is owned by Green Bay. So they can't threaten to move and stuff. Also, Aaron Rodgers is a Cal guy, so that's made me like them more, lately.

Also, question for you live sports goers. Do you tailgate before the event? I've heard that's mostly a WI thing, which to me is crazy, why wouldn't you grill out, get drunk, play some corn hole toss before you go inside to get more drunk and watch sports...

 

[Pelham Bleu]

I think tailgating is pretty much universal.

 

[mbelue]

Where I come from "corn hole" has a completely different meaning.
Still could be worse some folks call it "bung hole."
Back home they called it "toss across. "

 

[eyeballkid]

Yeah, first time I heard of that I was tattooing this hot country girl and I asked her what she did for fun and she said "I really like to play corn hole". I was like "you're my kinda girl!".... then she explained what it was... :-(

 

[dcarwin]

So this song just came up on random in the car -


Holy ****. I think it's seriously one the best classic rock covers by any band ever.

I dig I are droid. It's the guitar/vocals guy from Lowrider.

Corn hole toss?

Um... what?

They put a jail in the Iowa stadium b/c there were so many tailgating shenanigsns. Spent many a Saturday tailgating both as undergrad & afterward. Not as much these days, but I still get down at least once per season.

Just received the new Triptykon release from Century Distro. Waiting a month or two on that preorder.

Yup, but I've never participated in one.

Bung hole is the cork in a wine barrel too.

Is this just a bean bag toss?

Just about all euphemisms have a PG definition.

Bean bag toss, Rodger.

I literally love everything about this ad

With classic hits such as "The Graveyard Song", "The Devil's Devil" and "Good Mourning", how could this not be the worst thing ever?

Also "$4 or NEAR offer".

I never use the G string just now and don't really miss it, just keeping one or the other for practice. I'm currently trying to learn double nickels on the dime by Minutemen so the one in standard comes in handy for that

 

[CL400Peavey]

Morning gents.

 

[CL400Peavey]

Not too bad of a deal if everything is original.

The Eagles not only have a jail but they also have a special court held on Sundays just for arrests made at the game. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
