Yeah, it's a sadly funny thing the way loss hits people. I repress like a boss.

Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis

I hope. It's my main hobby, and it's odd having no desire to do that which I always think about.
It will, but just give it time. When I was kicked out of the band it hit hard and was feeling the same. Add on top ADD, which is always as a struggle to keep my focus and determination, I knew I just had to be patient. Obviously not comparing my situation to any serious loss etc, but I hope the desire comes back and increases 10 fold sooner than later!
Hey all! Tbh I haven’t been on here in a while, but have been spending a lot of time in London (my fiancé is there now) and was looking for stoner doom and the associated recs (venues, etc). I was up in Leeds last wknd for Prostitute; great band
My board is essentially the same, but I switch the Phuk w an eae halberd depending on the situation.

Building guitar and bass boards. Guitar (purple) is all wired up. Bass (green) has some placeholders while I wait for some stuff. But honestly, either works good with guitar and bass. Too much gain? No)))
Interested to hear your report. Russian Muffs are by far my favorite of the "stock offerings" before you get into crazy modded stuff. And that one looks pretty darn straightforward!
My Gibson's frets are still looking great per the tech. So all I needed was a professional set up instead of my kinda/sorta stab at one. Lol. Hooray!
Yesterday I recorded this little rolling alá stoner improv:
Got some more bass time in today - finished learning "Letters From Earth" by Sabbath. Just got to tighten it up a little now, but it's all there. Probably be good tomorrow when I run through it again.
In other bass news, I swapped out my Arion Metal Master for the Earthbound Audio Throat Locust. More of an in-your-face HM-2 now, but not quite as low-mid/bass heavy. It evens out, I guess. And one of my delay pedals died on me today - I'm assuming the footswitch because it just wouldn't turn off, no matter how many times I pressed it. When I removed and replaced power, then it wouldn't turn on. I need to get a few pedals looked at, so maybe I'll finally do that soon. Maybe some holiday money from the in-laws? Who knows? But with at least 3 of my pedals having issues, I probably need to get on it.
Anyway, hope all is well with the rest of you fine folks. Keep on doomin'!

So, my son is hyped to watch the original Ghostbusters film with me in a few days. Which means I had to learn that legendary theme's bass line... Not doom, but a fun groove! Now to get it nice and tight and fuzz it up real good.
Well, if you're having trouble learning it and have to play it very very slowly, then it does become doom.
Very cool to see Warning is recording again. One of my fav doom bands and always loved the bass work.
