Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Two hours into a fast over here. The latest Somali Yacht Club album is real good (can't remember if I've posted about that before). That's all I've got.
I do intermittent fasting here and there, beyond the 12/12 I normally operate on. I actually completed a 10 day once about 13 years ago. I heard it was supposed to be hella good for me, but I honestly didn’t notice any benefits other than bragging rights.

This is gonna be fun!
 
Anyone have experience with Genzler? They're not on my radar at all but I've been looking at 212 cabs and theirs is crazy light weight and aesthetically very nice (minus the badges). Bad idea for a small doom rig? The other option is two Orange OBC112s...

I have a LDS 212/6/1 that I picked up used. It's killer for any style of music, it's got huge lows and crazy treble response

A fast for me is the elapsed time between dinner and dessert.

Not sure about the specs, but it looks good. As for the badging, I have a weird outlook. If I have a piece of gear that sounds good and I like, I'm happy to provide free advertising for the company. We need to keep good manufacturers around.

Thanks for the input. I'd love to try a Barefaced Super Twin, but right now I'm not trying to see how much money I can drop on a single cab. Same goes for LDS and the rest, though it's nice to know there are some great options out there. I can get my hands on a 2nd hand Genzler 212 for a decent price, which is why I was asking about them.
Basically I'm having flashbacks to reading about how incredible Eden cabs were, then getting one and realizing that all the people gushing over them played a totally different style of music than I did. I sold it and got an Ampeg 4x10.

Really good point

Sweet! Do you bow? What’s the scale length on that thing?

I played my first gig in ages on eub 2 weeks ago. String band, so no dirt or doomy goodness. My bridge exploded about a month ago, so I fashioned a replacement:

Ooh nice EUBs!! Be sure to use a proper impulse response with them if you don't already, helps a lot with the tone with my electric cello for sure. 3 Sigma have very nice ones Acoustic Guitar Impulses - 3 Sigma Audio

Looove the new bridge! And yeah, I bow more than pluck on the EUB. Bought a beautiful carbon bow with German grip. The balance is amazing! How are you using your EUB?


Edit: forgot to add. Scale length is 42", so that the choice of strings could be more bow friendly

oh yeah. I remember reading about the electronic cello. How is it going?

And I use the IR that are on my Shift Line Olympic preamp. The piezo element is quite hot, so together with the tube in the pedal is gives some amazing grit.

Honestly, it isn't going. Moved around, dealt with a lot the last half a year or so. My current musical focus is 100% just fixing up my rig -- the reality is that it's more of a smaller studio than just a pedalboard. Once it's all in place, which should be soon, I'll refocus my efforts on creation and in learning.
