Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

#55,103
Yeah I don't know what it is, but I really like their new headless designs. The ss and ss multiscale really caught my eye and I'm not crazy about multi, headless, or 5 strings. I wanna try one.

Regarding people sounding the same in gear demos. Don't forget you will sound like you. Even under all the gear. Plus we all have our preferred sweet spots in any pedal we dial in. Which will most likely sound like any other distortion or fuzz. Especially since there is only like 25 dist/od/fuzz circuits out there modified and reviewed over and over and over and over.



He used to be a post around here. This was 10 years ago or more.
Every time I see Giygas I read it as Giygax. Which would be Gary Gygax. Creator of D&D. But I guess it's based on a character from the NES game Earthbound/Mother.

Did not know that. I dig how it has multiple options for fitting in a mix, blend or mids. And I'm a massive fan or tilt eq (I think I remember thats how catalinbread did it).

Agreed with all the talk of demos. I really appreciate what Andy does for tone report. Guys' a GD chameleon. He really lets the character of a pedal shine and isn't afraid at tonal extremes IMO. I go to his videos when I can, or knobs YT channel. Yeah its guitar, but everything both do port well to bass in my experience.

New headless Ibby's look cool to me. The non fanned fret ones. I mean I'd like to give those a try at some point. But the 4 string headless looks pretty sweet.

I love Andy. I've watched hundreds of his Pro Guitar Shop demos. Knobs is cool. The play style doesn't do anything for me. Ambient/LoFi bedroom cute noodle looper pedal shenanigans? But they do know how to get into a pedal deep by just playing around with everything. And I really appreciate that. Instead of just playing a blooz riff or endless shreddz bro. But those at least give me an idea of a practical application. haha. So no hate to those guys either.

Thats a good way to break em both down. I always liked that between the two I could see most everything a pedal was capable of from each extreme and in fairly typical use. I dig how knobs really give you a feel for what a pedal can do to held notes and hear how things bloom. You guys are right though most other demos just seem to be riff wankery without much variability.

Forgot to comment earlier but @br1qbat that's so true about ibanez. They do so much amazing stuff and yet I feel like a lot of players look down their nose at them.

I think Ibanez and Warwick have a stronger following in the modernsounding™ chugga chugga realm (which is mostly crap :D)
BTW Colin Marston plays an Ibanez and I like his tone quite a bit.

Sorry @lucas303 I wasn't trying to bag on your Ibanez, maybe I'm a little jealous ~~~ I want to try one of these out too, funky shapes kind of interest me. Sometimes I wanna buy a Wishbass for screwing around on....

Speaking of Ibanez, my '76 p-bass copy is finally getting a refret!

Just finished my board having worked it out through two lockdowns. Mbd was the final piece and I'm really really impressed with it. I've gone for evidence sis on this. Used them for the last couple of years and they seem reliable and easy to make exactly as needed.that said they're not the cheapest ✌️

ahhh if you were a couple hours earlier. i picked up some ernie ball (they only had 2 of EBS cables in stock) they seem very rugged and nice and flat. i'll give these a try on the mini board.

Been thinking of picking some of those up. I like the price point on the pedalboard pack. That and the offering of 12, 24, and 3in ones. They look real solid to boot.
