Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Blank_0101]

Never even had a cavity before. I get nightmares of my teeth falling out though.

 

[Kaa]

This weekend was such a mixed bag of emotions. I tried out 3 different drummers, my wife had her baby shower and I broke a tooth.

Like.
Like.
Unlike.

Yeah, not looking forward to going to the dentist. Not fear, just inconvenience...spending time and money I don't really want to spend. Oh well, gotta be done at this point.

Does it do that growly mean tone? At 30" it's a rounder tone. I'll get new rounds for the bronco and try that first.

It did have a real punchy like p bass mixed with a musicman tone to me that really stuck out when I played it. It was the single pickup model I got to diddle.

Anyone here try a Pigtonix Aria Disnortion on bass or guitar? I got a trade offer for it and it looks kind of interesting.

I've got one, I love it on guitar, but it gets really squashed sounding on bass. I don't think it's particularly suited for bass, but it's great for overdrive to almost thick fuzz on guitar. I was using it for what I'm getting out of the Wizard Fuzz now on guitar.

Thanks, I think I may take up the guy on the trade.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I just had three moles scrapped off and now have to go back and have the chunks of skin surrounding them surgically removed. Beats melanoma though, righty? But I feel you in the time and money. I have to go to the mainland, so I lose a whole day, and they say not to stain yourself for two weeks, but I can't lose that much time at work, so we'll see how well construction goes with stitches.

On the blister note, I play with Swing 66s, always have, and never had blisters or callouses. However, I also don't seem to have very much feeling left in my finger tips either...

I had an ingrown wisdom tooth surgically removed two years ago. It didn't really hurt and thought it went pretty quick until I was told I was sitting there for almost hour and a half. Then the anesthetic wore off. I wanted to kill everyone and scrape the paint off the walls.

As for blisters, I always pounded the string pretty hard as I had really crappy basses all the way through high school and university. When I resurrected my playing last year after a six years break, I bought a cheapo beginner bass just to find out if I really want to do it again. It had some crap strings that actually cut my fingers to pieces. I still have callusses, but at least I don't bleed all over my fretboard

short scales are really odd to me. i can fly on a 30 inch but i feel like i'm playing guitar. plus they dont do well with lower tunings.

Agreed that the length takes a little getting used to. After a couple hours' worth of rehearsal I felt okay about gigging, though. I don't have to worry about low tunings because I don't go below E in MDT.

Never tried one but I know Juan Alderete had a Disnortion in one of his Fuzz Wars episodes if you're looking for a demo on bass.

Hope one of those drummer turn out.

Sometimes miss the days when E was about as low as anyone went.

I used to do use some D & C stnd tunings in my old band, but so far just E stnd (for now). I should probably expand the pallette a bit at some point.

Flipping tempted (word play) so I hit him up. Someone offered $200, if they no show it's mine so I'll offer $175 muhaha

Also had to do an anonymous peer evaluation for a class team, and randomly wrote in one guy had a "rapey gaze" for giggles, and he can't figure out who did it.

Why you gotta be fugging with people?

Been away a few days. Things got stupid with work so I put in my resignation this afternoon.
I really hate trying to make things sound professional and still voice my grievances. It all comes out vague and softcore.
I prefer my communicate to include graphic penetration.
Its just a dispute with middle management that isn't(completely)upper management's problem.
