Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Nah, filled the space with just a louder version of my bass part that normally doesn't enter for a while, which is really just octaves on G, and then a doublestop on C. With the bass's volume turned down a bit and my reverb pedal on.
That's why they're inferior.
I prefer rounds, partly because they hurt a bit.
A wife beater with "sex slave resistance for Nepal" on it? Is the dude a hipster? Because that's pretty ironic.
I'm against wife beaters. Not just because of the name. But mainly because from what I've seen, the only people who actually look good in them, are dudes who are so fit that they'd look good wearing just about anything. For most dudes, even kinda pudgy ones, t-shirts or no shirts are both better looking options.
In my opinion, obviously.
And that's why I use my Peavey for the doom band. I pretty much never clean it except for the strings. Since it's going to look janky anyway, I figure that I may as well go full jank.
Dude needs some tinactin or something. Holy poopie.
Very neat looking guts there, so far. Looks like some of the wires are glued to the chassis?
Ugh.
I encountered that at Santa Cruz sometimes.
If you're not going to shower, put on some deodorant.
If you're not going to put on deodorant, take a shaging shower.
Don't go without both.
Fresh sweat smells a bit, but never as bad as three day old, stale sweat.
When my ex had taken a shower that day, she wouldn't wear deodorant, and while if you were close to her you could smell her a bit, it wasn't bad, because it wasn't stale sweat that had been sitting there for a couple days. If she wasn't going to take a shower on a given day, she'd put on deodorant.
Myself, I shower and use deodorant. Every day.
I don't see why at least some basic hygiene is so hard for some people. Showers feel good.
There is one. It's called a gynecologist.
Healthy vulvas should not stink. They have smells, yes, but they shouldn't smell rotten and terrible. If they do, it's a sign that something down there is at least slightly wrong.
My ex often went a few days without showering, but she had regular checkups, and never smelled bad down there.
I have a pretty powerful sense of smell when I'm not having allergies.
Unfortunately, I often have allergies. I'm pretty allergic to dust, and extremely allergic to cats. Losing my sense of smell is like the same feeling as one's ears needing to pop... except, you know, with my nose.
Catapult are not especially bad smelling.
Sometimes we smell like cigs and weed, but so far I've not noticed any real hygiene issues with anybody in the band.
So sold my acoustic 220 yesterday, for what I paid for it. And now I might be trading my acoustic power amp for a custom fuzz and a series parallel box from Bear Amps, the guy that fixed my vulcan.
Heres a guitar clip of the fuzz im getting, itll replace my broken WUMBO Muff.

I bought a wife beater recently, never liked them, don't like this one, but it's good for sleeping and sitting around in if I'm not nude.
I always wear shirts, and they have sleeves when in public unless I'm swimming. I'm not fit enough to be all underwear model in the streets. Work in progress lol.
The other day I forgot deodorant and used my burts bees peppermint Chapstick as a quick substitute. Damn it was refreshing until the peppermint oil started to burn lol
That's an older picture, he's getting portly
Just because I like Matt Pike's riffing doesn't mean I think he looks good in a tank top.
I generally just wear a t-shirt, even sleeping.
I actually think t-shirts with the sleeves cut off make cooler looking tank tops than wife beaters, actually. I dunno, somehow they make the shoulders look more normal, and don't make everyone look a little more pear shaped than they would otherwise, like wife beaters do.
Matt Pike could look good in something if he bothered to wear a shirt in the first place lol.
There's an MXR Carbon Copy close by that I'm sorely tempted to get just because its so cheap. Never really used delay before...I mean, I've heard delay sound pretty gnarly especially if you can make it self-oscillate...but never actually played with one properly.
Yeah, fuggit, I'm gonna get it. Its been a poopie week and I need cheering up.

I just do not "get it" when I see this. Is it me? Am I just to old, or does the Japanese taste in music confuse anyone else as well?
Man with the Dimarzio mudbucker soloed and it's volume dimed on the Forever bass, I can flub out the Bluebeard. I am switching the wiring from series to parallel when the 500K pot lands, but wonder if I need a compressor? Been a long time since I had such a hot pickup I guess.
Hell no. Roll the volume back just a tad. Then use the additional volume later when you need a boost.
My girlfriend loves anime, and oh the music is awful on that shite, though if she puts that on, it always opens my escape to the guitar room.
Yes I hot glue down some of the wires to fix them in place so they will not move. Hot glue works best since it sets in about 30 seconds but you can still remove it if need be
Finished this up last night
