Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

@bassboysam keep the reviews coming. I've been thinking about trying a heavier set on my medium scale. I'm torn between the awesome bends I can get and not having enough snap on it currently.

I pretty much never experiment with strings anymore.

I've always ended up going back to XLs, so that's what I use.

I've been the same way with EB slinky's. I occasionally get the urge to try something else in the last 5 years but I love how they sound new and dead...

Spent coin I really didn't have to spend but it was such a screaming deal, I couldn't pass it up. Needs some electrical work but otherwise is in good shape. Other than that, the ladyfriend finished the mix for my album. When she gets back from sf in a couple weeks, I should have the masters a week or two after that. It's a lush sounding doom so far.

Really great box. Stacks well with the Gasoline OD. Rebuilding the ol’ board...again

Mids knob on that VT intrigues me. I have the big version. I’m still warming up to it and the ODB. Not my favorite flavors of dirt (Rat or OCD) but I figured I should have them in my arsenal. They are slowly growing on me, but it’ll be a while if they ever take off my Pharaoh, Pork Loin, or B3K.

For sure it’s very personal stuff, all these boxes. I happened upon this VT used at a very good price, I thought. The mids knob has some magic for what I’m going for

Doomsters, I need some new doom for my ears - looking for suggestions and recommendations.

Some stuff I'm into: High on Fire, Sleep, Electric Wizard, the Obsessed (anything Wino really), Boris, Earth, etc.
I dont know if your into these guys but I really dig them. I like my doom with vocals that are audible and whats cool about this bands singer is the fact he was originally in Napalm Death where the vocals were anything but audible.

Yob is pretty great:


Been listening to a lot of SubRosa, too:


Also Chelsea Wolfe has her Electric Wizard-esque moments:
