Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[hardtop]

poopie I didn't know he's in town! Luckily it's at the Fillmore so I can skip it in good conscience (I hate that venue). Not trying to rain on your parade though...I hope it's a great show.

I dislike the Fillmore too, but I do like the King and Uncle Acid a lot AND I got guest listed so....

I passed on seeing Incubus and Torche when they were last in town, solely because of my very same hatred for that building. Again - not meaning to rain on his parade...

Holes for weight makes sense. I have an old 5er that's heavy as shag, and sometimes I wish I could drill some holes in it to make it weigh less.

I understand the concept, I just said it's "crazy to me." I suppose this illustrates exactly why there are dozens of threads arguing over it.

Yep, funny how there's so many people that can't handle have a discussion or disagreement without aknowledging that another opinion is just as valid as theirs. Reminds me of the extremes and inability to compromise of so many in politics.

This is why this thread is badass, we don't agree on everything and no one seems to have issues with anyone holding a different opinion.

TB in no particular order:

1. Tort and flats
2. Why y'all still using amps?
3. Lock in with the bass drum
4. Lightest bass/amp/cab
5. I love rics
6. I hate rics
7. Bandleader is god, do as s/he says
8. Bassists job is to get people dancing

Can't believe I missed this one! Fixed it for ya:

12. Jamerson, Jaco, Jamerson

I'm curious about what is so horrible there

Any of yall mess around with an idiotbox effects - dark waves? Dark Waves Echo Chorus
I'm looking for a weird, glitchy chorus that is smaller than my 80's univibe but has plenty of weird.

Great work. Really groovy,mixes and transitions pretty smoothly between different subgenre influences. What is the name of the band?

Did the instrument levels and mastering presentation work for you? I'm not trying to do something avant garde with the production. I would like it to sit right next to any other modern metal song and not have people think it was recorded on a DIY system in a garage.
Second Shooter.

It worked for me. But if your goal is a modern metal sound, i think adding more high mids to the guitars would make it more modern sounding

Meaning the guitars sound a little nu metal-ish?

Yes, that Slipknot kind of sound is what i think about when i read/hear "modern metal".

Got a new shirt. Thought all you fine folks might appreciate it. (And because it’s making me jump through hoops to post a pic, here’s the link instead...)

I have one, it's been a while since I used it but it does pretty much what it says on the tin; chorus with a dash of echo. Personally I'm way too stuck on the Boss chorus sound and it doesn't really sound like a Boss; now that you mention it maybe I should revisit it soon.

I use the EHX Bass Clone but that Dark Echo looks awesome. I would love to try one out.

I can usually ignore the most of the dumb normal TB stuff, but there is a thread on the main page where a guitar player who is new to bass is looking for a cab for his vintage bassman head. No one bothers to ask them what kind of situations they are playing in. Lots of responses of sell the head and buy class D. Several "you need at least 500 watts to gig out" responses.

Makes me very grateful for this thread and the thoughtful responses that are always given.

So this is where all the CO folk hide...
