Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Hey y'all! It's been a minute since I've been on here. Right before COVID hit, I was getting ready to have some paying gigs playing electric upright for some roots rock covers. And when gigs stopped being a thing, I decided to finally get around to recording a solo album. And seven months and a bunch of gear later, I just released my EP! It wound up pretty stoner-y, not as doomy as I had originally intended, and quite proggy. There were some speed bumps along the way. When the DAW that came with my interface (Ableton) wouldn't let me have more than 8 tracks, I switched to Reaper and watched a ton of YouTube tutorials to figure out how to use that. About 3/4 in, I realized I needed a guitar. And I may have bought a couple new pedals because I had an excuse to!

So I would absolutely love to hear what this community thinks!

Cat in the cover photo means you're off to a good start. Listening now...
 
No worries, I'm all for that. Her biggest condition of the pooch is a non shedder. Luckily we're not in a rush, so maybe I can push that more till we find the right one.
Consider a former racing greyhound, in that case. They don't have much fur to begin with, so shedding isn't much of an issue at all. Also they don't have an undercoat so people with allergies can usually be fine with them. They're great, really unique dogs...and much lazier than you might expect.
 
Hello, everyone!! Just here for my semi-annual drive-by post. I'll be lurking and catching up for a few days. Nothing really new to report, although, I did get a pretty sweet little parts bass from a TB'er. Short scale 3 +1 headstock, mounted on to a Yamaha BBG4 body with DiMarzio J's. Spezel locking tuners, and stock bridge. It was a fotoflame, that I stripped off with a heat gun and melted my pickups just a bit, lol. As well as slightly burning the body in a few places, so now it's been dubbed "Ol' Scorchy". Plays just fine as I'm noodling on the couch, and sounds good through the amp. Lots of upper end and harmonics on tap, so I either need to clean up the technique or slap some flats on it. Besides that, just livin' in the time of C-19.

Here's Raymond, our biggest and oldest, relaxin'

Here's AJ, the youngest and bravest (and a little bit of a jerk), perched on a shower head just above my head height.

And here's the newest, Estelle. She was a stray that I pet and fed outside until yesterday, when I finally crammed her in a cat carrier and took her to the vet. She finally forgave me and came out from under the bed after 24 hours. We're cool now, and she's slowly getting accustomed to the other two maniacs.

You do know Raymond is a pillow with feet, yes?

love the name! What is it?

A tonebender, rips hard too. Kinda reminds me of that ragged tone Neil would get with that old tweed. Has that ragged, gritty edge that cuts well but is somehow smooth in a way too. All the way from lower overdrive to just ripping fuzz.

I'm not crazy about having snob level components, but whatever they did with the design on this one they nailed it out of the park. Check out the video Andy from PGS/tone report for it.
