Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis

I've always been a fan of more classic/old school styling, but that first one looks awesome!
Good to know. I thought it would be overkill to mic, balance, mix, etc multiple SVTs especially if they are all running approximately the same settings.
I played an Ibby sr650 yesterday and was blown away by it. The pickups are great, I'm not a fan of having a bunch of knobs on an instrument, but the playablity was off the charts. GC used for $399 I think. Heres the 5 string version, the sr655:
I played a Ibanez BTB for quite a few years. If you want to downtune and stuff they’re pretty awesome. 35” scale wide string spacing. I’ve looked at them on and off for a few years and thought of getting another. Really solid bass.
Dont get me wrong, its like one out of 4 that's not actually doing anything... but there are still 3 going at most times! so plenty of overkill still happening
Just gut it and make it your own. I've been using KotB with beginning players/parties since it came out but have made it fit my world(s) sometimes even skipping the Caves of Chaos completely and using a different module dungeon or one of my own or even just a full on wilderness hex-crawl.
…..and now back to our regularly scheduled program.
There seems to be a used sr505 at just about every GC in the metro plex so I think I’ll go pluck a few tomorrow
I tried briefly the Earthquaker Cloven Hoof today. Impressive! 
Tons of low end and definition even at extreme settings <3

This is the first Earthquaker I try but they make SO MANY interesting pedals
Luckily 99% won't fit my songs (I use only 2 or 3 effects regularly...), so I can restrain myself
I bought a Mesa M6 carbine last week at GC for 550$ I thought it was a decent price. I loved how clean it was when I played it in the store but this amp does not like my dirt pedals. Blower box was fizzy the old growth fuzz really sounded ban thru it too. I think I’m returning it. Last night I had to get my rb800 back out at practice. If I love the rb800 (and I do) is the 700 RB basically the same thing just more power?
That's a bummer, I'd inquire about it to @agedhorse before you return it. I don't know if he worked on that design, but he's certainly knowledgeable about their gear.

Hahaha, I would have a board chock full of their stuff if I could afford it! If I was only able to have one manufacturer's pedals on a board it would be them or DOD. Both make such a variety and such awesome sounding pedals.
Thats my understanding. The front end of the RB series is the same, so the 700, 1001, 2001 all share the same basic layout to the 400/800. So yeah, should be the 800rb just moar louder
I've been intrigued by 1-knob fuzzes and pulled the trigger on a Frost Giant Massif. Big wall of sludge and pretty easy to get into fun feedback land dime-ing it while playing an active bass through it.....will need to test more, it would be nice to have a fcukkin functional band to try it out in

I went with that. Hopefully it’ll be here by Saturday but the 800 will work (it always does) if not.
