Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Oh for sure, I'm gonna start looking around for something. But between speakers, refinishing a trashed cab, and a new grill/cloth, and hardware I may be better off getting one of those Hertiage cabs and replacing the grill cloth to match the 66. Less of a project overall, and possibly cheaper, unless I can get an 810e box about free.

Gotta move the Dually first though.

I don't know how you guys can sell your stuff. Everything I've ever owned for more than a month, is still in my music room. Even the old Peavy amp I don't use anymore is at my nephew's with and Violin style bass from the 60's. Had a few offers on that bass, but like everything else..... It's emotional. Seriously though, I always find at some point, I'd like to play that "place name here" for a few hours. Well, mostly I just play the fretless through my Behringer 4x10. I know, everyones choking back some bile. But I like the sound I get with it and my peddle board. Opps, sorry got off track. Go ahead Ron, sell your stuff. BTW, still waiting that new cd. The single I've heard on line sounds amazing.

I sell everything that isn't in use. There's a few things I've regretted selling down the line, but overall it's a system that's always worked for me. If something sits around unused for awhile, or I don't see it being useful in the band or a project I'm working on I generally move it along. I'm not a collector, I've owned a ton of cool stuff, but I like to think that it's better if something is being put to good use, rather than sitting on a shelf in my house. Plus then I can put that $ towards getting more new gear...which I may or may not eventually sell.

CD copies should be in soon, vinyl is still looking like late July.

Thanks for the reply and if you guys ever play closer to Canada than Chicago, I'll be the tall guy in black.

How do you like that thing, and any experience vs the FX25B?

i bought it for one reason, to sound like flea. its the exact pedal he uses on BSSM and his instructional video. sounds exactly like he does. i actually really like it still, it doesnt have a lot of control like a Qtron does, but i enjoy the quacking it makes a lot more than the Qtron. for a cheap envelope filter, its tough to beat.

again tho, when i play it its pure soul brother stuff, i wouldnt throw it on with fuzz and pretend i was al ciserneros. id throw it on a pretend im bootsy collins.

Pretty much my experience with it too. Bought one because it was cheap, played around with it at home, sounded funky. Brought it to one practice with the doom band - got some good laughs from the drummer, pretty much useless for what we were doing. I ended up selling it for more than I paid to get it new, don't miss it.

Do you have the means to make demo clips? I've been wanting to try one of those wahs for years upon years, but I hardly ever use wah. Though maybe I hardly ever use wah because I don't have a Chicago Iron Parachute....hmmmmmm.

thats one of the big reasons i never sold it, id get 20 bucks. not worth it, more fun to just keep it and break it out from time to time.

I had an old big box qtron I got for $40-$50 sold it for $80 to a guy who said I was crazy to sell it and he had it up in a week lol.

I did like it but wasn't really needed. I liked the idea of the filter down low super dubby bass tone it offered. The fx25 that is.

Yeah, I had it in a pile of pedals that I took to the pawn shop when I needed some cash - they offered $50 for that pedal, I tried to keep a straight face when I agreed to take their money.

I see some on Ebay for $70-$100 for some reason.

New Fuzz Day!
Just got the Fuzz War in the mail, loving it at the moment, way better than the EHX Bass Muff I've been using.
Band practice tomorrow, stoked to see how it works in the mix.

Yeah, I have a little m-audio box I can use. I'll do some clips straight into GarageBand or something and put 'em up, god knows demos for these things are few and far between, and I don't even know if I've seen any bass demos yet.

I've never seen one on bass. There's not even that many for guitar, considering how many good things I've heard about the pedal for how long it's been out.
