Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
I have a SLM 810 and I don’t hate it like a lot of people do. I think people have a negative opinion of them because the are made of chip board/pressed wood rather than plywood which is pretty cheap of SLM.
I find my 212AV sounds pretty comparable to my 810 with my SVT CL.
But the 212 is one of my better purchases - way more convenient.

Oh hell yeah. I'd honestly bought it off you because I was curious after hearing so much about it here, but it turned out to be just what I needed to both brighten and tighten my rig's sound up. I'd been using very warm, very tubey preamps before and they just didn't have the right chemistry with my Thunderbirds. The Box, though... the Box loooooooves my Thunderbirds.
Mmhmm.
I’ve had stuff from the west coast make it to Minneapolis in 2-3 days, then take another week to make it the final 100+/- miles. Almost miss the old days before we were conditioned to “instant gratification” and constant updates.
Been changing up my board a little this weekend. Not 100% yet, but getting there. Completely a mess; I know.
Been doing the same, but with guitar. Fiddling with various HM-2s and clones. Think I’m going to use the original on guitar, which frees up the Throat Locust for bass.
I'm just trying to spend some quality time with some of the new pedals. Couple surprises so far. Might have to make a separate/second board hahaha!
The Locust for bass is always a good thing. Never used one, but I've known a couple guys who did and they sounded great live with it.
How do ya like the mxr octave fuzz? Clips sound bad ass, it's near the top of my list of pedals to check out.

I'm going to rehersal in 10 mins and the FedEx hub in Murfreesboro that it's stuck at until Monday is literally on my way to the studio. Now I have the opportunity to see the shelf it's sitting on but not get the item until at least tomorrow. Kinda feels like a ruined orgasm
Too much?

I haven't been very active lately, but this message
brought me here.
I miss a lot the good times I've been having here. This thread may be the only place where I feel I belong right now. I just really wasn't in the mood for laughing these last months. But I read this message and just felt the need to come by and say "hello".

I feel ya my new tubes are at the UPS hub 10 minutes from my house. This whole week has been a mess for shipping.
I really like it. The fuzz by itself is very useable. The octave is really cool. Sounds like the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, but with only the smooth octave. I’m assuming it is just a simpler variation of that circuit too, but idk. The two different fuzz textures are both cool and very different. The winner on it is the eq and the mid pot in particular.
These are the next pedals I’m going to try to find a home for on board and sell the rest. Minus the Hellbilly. Pretty sure it will never leave.

Been there too. Same FedEx hub even. I’m not far from you really. Just up I24 and then I69 into Kentucky.
Thoughts on the Aqua Puss? Love the Echo Puss - it’s my favorite Delay.
300ish milliseconds of warm analog goodness. Great for texture with just about any other effect really. I prefer it set a little longer than slapback, slightly lower volume than dry signal, with 3-5 repeats. I use it mainly with verb or some type of modulation. Repeats darken and mesh together well imho.
Nice to know you're not dead, i hope you get in a better mood soon
Thanks mate
This year is having the bleakest ending ever. I hope all this misery will be the fuel to make something meaningful with the band, at least… But I don't feel constructive yet, just getting stoned all day, everyday. Maybe I should have bought another "comfort amp" instead of all that weed LOL
Anyways, as long as it hurts it means I'm still alive
