Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Greetings from Austin TX, just came across this corner of the talkbass board.

Figured this would be the best way to introduce myself \m/,

Welcome! Feel free to talk about anything and everything here. We're pretty good dudes. What's the 2x15 you're using there?

We use such different gear and we change constantly so I can never remember what we're all using. I got a pedal idea but I need a tiny bit of inspiration. If y'all could post real quick and tell me your main dirt and main amp I'd really appreciate it.

Wizard Fuzz/Orange Terror Bass 1000
 
Awesome! Yeah Danny G was already registered when I signed up few years back.

The cab is a Dietz, which made pa speakers and bass cabs for many years in Austin. All great sounding, kind of a shame they aren't known more outside of Central TX

That is a sweet rig, what do you have in the rack?

Also, didn't you play in a band at SHOD IV in Arizona? The name escapes me at the moment, memories of that weekend are fuzzy...
 
I use a Rat King into my Peavey Firebass head into 2 115 cabs. I run a second Firebass clean also into 2 115 cabs.

Unfortunately during my practice session today my Rat King started popping loudly through my speakers and then the output dropped down to nothing. I think I'm going to have to send it in for repairs.

I'm having a kinda crappy week.
 
I use a Hartke LH1000 and main dirt pedals are the EHX OD Glove (OCD clone) and the Palmer Bazz fuzz (lowish gain fuzz, not muff-based).

In other news, pretty sure I've got an abscessed molar, **** hurts like a mothershager. Trying to wait until Monday to see the dentist, an emergency visit may not be covered by insurance. Kind of putting a damper on the long weekend.
Ouch, good luck.
 
Well...Let It Breathe is officially an old man band. With my birthday this past week, everyone in the band is at least 40.

A buddy of mine finally finished some kick ass matching pedalboards for our guitarist and I. I'm gonna add a couple more LED strips in them, cuz 2 just won't do.

Already heard back from Ryan about my Rat King. He said to send it to him and he will make it a priority to fix it and get it back to me ASAP. He is pretty awesome to deal with. I can't say enough good things about Fuzzrocious.

Now if I can just get that fraudulent charge off of my books I can relax a bit. The holiday looks to have completely slain my weekend financially. It's early yet but the shaker is a ghost town right now.
