Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[cornfarmer]

while I adore Sunn, and own several, be aware that the Beta Bass doesn't have a ton of low end. It's GREAT if you're really mid focused, or are running a dual head set up and can cover the low end that way, but as a lone head I've always found them the disappointment of the Sunn line!

Pretty much this. I have to dime the bass on mine to get anything respectable out of it.

I wonder how much less I am going to pay the repair guy for the cap job. It's been almost 2 months now.

its been getting alot of attention on our facebook threads.

Not on those, I ended up seeing that Way Huge made their own version Russian Pickle and just ordered that after A/Bing some clips. What was the consensus on the FB group for our kind of music was the EHX or the Russian Pickle better? The EHX seemed a touch brighter and the Way Huge a touch lower/darker to me on the videos I saw.

I have a question that may have been asked here before but chances are good that I missed it. My 4 string is tuned to C and I use an Aguilar Fuzzistor pedal and that is all. Although Im playing Doom I also have sections where I play the bottom two strings in melodic fashion and at times I finger tap. My dilemna is that I am losing crisp clean clarity when Im playing in this fashion. My Fuzzistor has a blend option that ties everything together really nicely but I lose the gentle touch when I need it. Is there another pedal I can use to govern this monster?. Its like trying to go from Primitive Man to Primus and back without sacrificing tone.

Thought about switching to an overdrive?

I actually bought an overdrive recently thinking that I would use it as an alternative but it didnt give me the level of dirt I need. I may have to wander out of my comfort zone and tweak my eq a bit. Its possible I run my mids a bit too high. Just like me, a bit too high

For the purpose of pushing a tube amp to OD sooner, any reason to spend more $$$ on a clean boost than what an MXR Micro Amp or EHX LPB-1 will cost used? If so, which ones are worth a look and why?

I have been thinking about picking up a DOD 410 for this reason. The selectable buffer and tone control seem like useful tools as well.
