Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[kleinenenten]

I also resisted buying the Gibson 6/4 double neck, and the Ibanez Iceman bass. Still kind of wondering if I should have grabbed the latter.

100% you should have grabbed the Iceman. That's really the only body shape I'd splurge on if I could find one that spoke to me. Both in bass AND guitar. If I ever get a 6th bass/guitar...

Only the Iceman? But what about the Schindehütte Zeitgeist...

FWIW I do actually have a pink paisley Flying V bass...

Those are cool, but, they scream "neck dive" to me.

Well, technically he was giving me a discount because of the guitar show. When they were new, they were $2000, so equivalent to about $20K at the time. As a result, they made very few of them. Probably around a 1000 or so when you include every version they made. So, it was high end even its day, and this one has been gone through and had anything that wasn't perfect repaired. I'm not saying it's worth that, but those are the prices they actually go for.

I'm glad my tone-deafness saves me from things like this. Lol.

On the topic of "bands covering other bands' albums", I'd submit Candlemass doing pretty much any non-Ozzy Sabbath. Not that they couldn't do a decent Ozzy, just that I think they could absolutely nail the other stuff.

Hehe, really, I'd be getting it because it's so dang pretty. I mean, it has giant black pods off to the side for speaker enclosures! Giant black pods, Kaa!

But yeah, my fear of being murdered in my sleep keeps me from being so financially foolish.

LOL!! It has pods! Pods!!

Edit: killed in your sleep by an enraged wife because you bought an outrageously expensive stereo with giant black pods is so very doom.

Whassup doom room.....I've been doing absolutely nothin' much, though I did grab a beater to convert to BEAD after I sold my 5 string. I did this a while ago but I can't remember w-t-f I was doing or why I switched back. I am happy to report that the Kramer Striker 700ST is a solid cheapo if anyone is on a budget. Also dipping back into the aluminum gene pool after washing my hands of Travis Bean's and anything EGC. Got a good looking neck from Hoxey on order, but don't know what it's going on. What would you do? Trying to think out of the box on this one.....

Recording a new song and this bass for re-amping
Absolute overkill and unnecessary, but very loud

I pooped myself just looking at this picture. Visual brown note.

Edit: What is the amp head on the left?

That's my Hilbish Beta 700w Amp. A gnarly *not clean* amp.

I see no overkill, I see a prerequisite.

I don't buy it. This is clearly mountain dulcimer.

That's a catchy ditty. I can see it being used in an Ozempic commercial.

Bait and switch!!
