Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Would love to play some shows in the US and A. I've been looking into it and to do it legitamately seems complicated but it is mostly the travel expense that is the roadblock. Plus convincing the wives to allow it is difficult considering we all have kids under 2 years old.

Well if you ever decide to do this and want to come through Pittsburgh you know I've got your back!

But honestly, if you were going to go through all the trouble of working out a US tour, I'd highly recommend spending some extra money and time and trying to make a European tour happen instead. Not that I don't want to see you guys, but it would probably be more fun and worth your time.

Yeah a European tour would be pretty awesome, and a lot of bands seem to have a lot of success with it.
 
Put together my best sounding rig last night...definitely made selling some things off to get a drum kit way easier.

All of the stacks!

Vulcan into 218+210 is dirty lows.
Dunwich/Festival into 215 is clean lows.
PA200 into 118 and folded 18 is highs.




Plan on making a 218 for my 70s 18s and getting a 4 ohm 18 to run in the folded. PA200 would then run the 218 and the Dun/Fest will run the 215 and folded 18.

That sucks you'll be MIA tomorrow Joe. Completely understandable reason though. Safe travels.

(we're going to be in CO for like 20 hours total, gonna be rough).
Ugh. I know. I really wanted to come out. This is the second time you're here and I can't meet ya. The Serpents guys will be cool to hang with. I think Thombo is going too. You dudes will destroy all, IMO.

Heck, you could just do a three day thing, somewhere around new york, then Pittsburgh, Maryland, then home. Thurs-sat and drive home sunday.

In other old Peavey news, I'm going to Chitown (again) this weekend with the mrs. She has an event scheduled for tomorrow but I'm road tripping around Lake Michigan to meet up with CL400Peavey and pick up that 3620; he generously brokered a deal between me and an area seller. I'd been searching for one off-and-on for well over a year. That beast should pair pretty well with my F800B!
