Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
I posted the signal path up-thread, but lemme know what else you are curious about, my longstanding project is a bass/drums duo!
Loving the doom style Royal Blood setup myself, finishing up an album like this has been great fun! I've been doing a bunch of layering with distortions for a wider stereo field on the "guitar" side and it sounds pretty killer. Not really doable live but I'll probably never play the project out ever anyways.
got the tentacles pedal dialed in with the 420 fuzz for bass number 2
been listening to a lot of Chic, Power Station, and Brainiac recently
maybe some cello synth tones to go with the horn sounding octa fuzzed out bass number 2
trying to build slower grooves, avoiding standard rock beats
been very clear with people, I don't need you to double what I"m playing, please don't
need a project to actually get things on track, going to do a recording for a monster movie pitch deck
on my way to a morning photo job, hustlin' hustlin'
back at LA river tomorrow, will post pics if wildlife is poppin

Does death/doom fit here?
Running a Fernandes BXB-75 with Bill Wilde humbucker pickups (thanks to recs on here for the pups), into a GK 700RB/Hartke Transporter 410/115 cabs. Gain built via HX Stomp and an MXR preamp pedal.

Just about anything fits here - we're a pretty laid back bunch. Most of the stuff I listen to isn't even doom these days!
If it has fuzz and/or riffs, you're good with this crowd
Nice!
I love fuzz and riffs… and grinding asphalt.

I was mistaken about this amp in particular. While the rest of their product line is made in the US, the Mini Beta (or whatever) is made overseas, somewhere.
Take me on.
Take on me.
OK, this isn't metal, but slow and morose...

Quoting yourself also goes here, as I'm doing.
On the quoted topic, I've been sick all weekend with some sort of sinus bug, which meant I couldn't do anything too taxing. So I decided to transcribe and learn Killswitch Engage's "The End Of Heartache". Real simple song, the hardest part was transcribing it to my C Standard bass from Drop C (using D Standard as a base). First time playing it along to the song, and I've got it 90% there. Hopefully I feel better soon - tired of this stuff!
mxr poly octave getting a really nice synth fuzz tone, making me think of battlezone on the atari 2600 or mech warrior on the commodore 64
the rumble 25 practice amp still survives in spite of being hit with sub bass from the octave fuzz and the envelope filter
my L2000 is great, waiting on the ESP M-IV to get the staticy jazz pickup squared away
i'm going to be listening to the man or astroman noise stuff this week in an attempt to pushing the effects further
Do you guys run a phaser, I found an vintage DOD phaser that I might hook up to my girlfriend's board?
Might be useful after the octave up fuzz?

I mainly use a Maxon Phasetone, which is just a MXR Script Phase 90, but in a blue box. And I also have a 90's Small Stone. Both are great after octave and fuzz.
MXR Phase 90. Cheap, simple, sounds great
cool, thanks for the heads up, i think a phaser might be one of the few varieties of pedals that i've had zero experience with
maxon pedals are definitely under the radar gems
I use an MXR Phase 100 on bass (90 on guitar). They're both great, but the 100 kills on bass. Not doom (at all), but think For The Love of Money and Stranglehold*
*shag Ted Nugent tho
**apparently this forum edits certain words haha
