Yeah, it's probably the weirdest, "***?" movie I have seen yet. With a lot of "***?"I'm pretty sure reading the plot for that one isn't going to reduce the viewer's astonishment, though.

yeah watched the first few scenes. Woah boy that's gonna be a hell of a watch.
Shared rituals are a common way to build a sense of community.
Doesn't mean YOU need to like it, of course.
Speaking of unwatchable movies, have y'all ever seen Trey Parkers first flick?
Not sure if anyone cares, but Jeff Matz is now partnered with Bergantino per this article.
Thought it was cool that he mentioned finding out about Berg from Aaron in YOB. Interesting to see dudes in heavier genres open to using whatever sounds good, without getting stuck in the dichotomy of heavy vs light, tube vs SS, etc. I also dig when artists I like are endorsed by/partnered with smaller companies.

It seems to me that a lot of the doom and doom-adjacent bass players are pretty traditional when it comes to rigs so it's cool to see someone stepping out of that mold.
Hmm he was with Hiwatt. And Aaron was playing Hitones too. Not sure I'd give up free Hiwatts for free Bergs but maybe.
Aaron from YOB has his own model of Roller cabs too, which look rad!!! Roller Sound Custom Guitar & Bass Cabinets
A lot of times, endorsement deals have a lot to do with availability on the road in addition to free swag. For a big company, like Ampeg, backline companies will have their gear. For smaller companies, it often means having a few touring rigs living at different places in the world that musicians can access when they fly. I wonder if Bergentino is making a push to support touring musicians with cab availability? For visibility, it's smart to target the amplifier worshipping crowd.

Agree with this 100%. To be clear, I didn't take this release to mean he'll be playing a full Berg setup every night on the road. I think availability, fly dates, rehearsals, etc. all make sense for having this kind of endorsement. I expect guys like Jeff will still be playing tube stacks whenever its feasible.
Berg has been smart about spreading their endorsements around some different genres, and selecting folks who either have a loyal (if not niche) fanbase and/or quality output and road-time, with the ability to record and show the product with whatever online presence they have. They don't have a ton of artist presence out there, but the stuff I've seen promoting them has not been some of the standard schilling you see from a lot of bigger companies' artists. Anyway...I digress.
Their snowman building song is far better than Disney's take.

I do this every few years to change things up......new drum day!!!!!!!!!!
Seems just as good as my former Rogers, but louder and beefier. Ended up making ~ $100 after all said and done.

[insert lame overused reference to firing the drummer]
But in seriousness...
Do you have a pair of overhead mics in that setup?

I like how minimalist this kit is. Could you summarize, please?
I have planted my Muscat grape vines above it with an intricate eco friendly vegan-tofu-latte greywater system. This fine wine is superbly aged in my artisinal bathtub.
@instrumentalist in a nutshell: Rogers 'Big R' kit, dates from '76-77-78. Maple(?) 5-ply(?) shells, 22x14 / 16x16 / 12x8, Rogers Memriloc hardware
Finally assembled my dream rig and it rips for ALL genres. Subtractive EQ is smarter IMO
I wanted a high wattage cab that I could carry easily & would be forceful like an 8x10, but with crazy treble response. So months of research ensued, and landed on a used cab from the classifieds. It's a Greenboy style 12/12/6.5/1 with slightly tweaked dimensions built by LDS. 3-way crossover so it's like two subs with a mid and tweeter, ~40 Hz-20KHz
Paired with an 1100w Crown XLS power amp so that I could swap pedal preamps for different "amp tones". Super influenced by Mike Watt with this rig. He's so ahead of his time even now.
It dooms. It jazzes. It funks. It rocks. HPF is the key for dialing in those subs
It rivals a Barefaced Big Twin, which is about the only thing I'd replace it with
