Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

We got our flooded practice space back in order for the 2nd time this year after 15in of rain we got in June. Was sure F'n nice to be able to practice again. A nice solid long practice, felt real GOOOD!
Productive too. Guitarist finally came up with some lyrics for the new jam we had been working
on prior to the flooding of the vault.

The sound in our space has improved so much once we carpeted the walls.

H2 practice space recording of our new jam. We still have work to do on it but what do you guys think so far?

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.

Kick Ass boards. And Happy belated 40th Rush!!!
 
Played a friends BBQ with my basement jam band, plus a guest drummer, since out normal guy couldn't make it. Hysterically fun train wreck.
I used the SX short scale p bass into a SABDDI into the effect return in an old Peavey Combo 300. Sounded aight. Make me wish I had a big ol stack, though.

I thought those guys were hiding from you?

why the hell are pedal power bricks so ****ing expensive? i need another one and i really dont feel like dropping 100 bucks on one but they dont seem to get much cheaper than that. super lame.

davis i use a bluebeard and a blunderbuss (maybe change
the blunderbuss to something else, not sure what at the moment)

I've waited and they roll around used at 50-75. Cheapasspedals had a cheaper version I think.

Because they have us by the balls not wanting to run batteries.
PS seems to be my issue getting another together. Was to stay all voodoo but sticker shock keeps stopping me.

So is my TB app broken or is it really that quiet in here?
Nah, just that quiet. I was hanging out with friends all yesterday.

Being at a barbecue with a bunch of goths is a bit surreal.

On a side note I just tried some peach moonshine. It tasted like cobbler.
That sounds tasty.

It's irritating how expensive they are, definitely.

You probably already answered this, but what are the controls on the Blunderbuss? You said it has like six or something, but is basically a muff?

Anyone start getting into the Meat is Murder argument?
I typically drop a couple of tri tip Dry Rum Santa Maria style on the Webber for the 4th but opted for Italian sausage with Chile and grilled asparagus sides.
Of course watermelon and an ice chest full of Gatorade.
I've only had 6 beers this weekend.

Looking at compound bow options for my daughter and I. We need to get the hell out of the house. There are a few good target trails in the Bay Area. Would rather do this than play golf.

I got a poopie load of bows at the house now so don't go spending a shite load of cash as I might have something you can use.


My tire is 2.125" I need like a 1.75" or smaller I'm guessing. My rim is 26"

Do I just get the skinnier rubber tire? Or do I need a thinner rim too? Also same tube ok? Or is there a skinnier one for that too.

Bryce. It should say on the rim was size it is like 26 X yadda yadda. You can buy some sweet tires that act like suspension from Schwalbe but kind of pricey or you can can get some cheap ones at Walmart one you find out the size of the rims.

I run a 2.125 on the front and a 1.175 on the rear. My frame set is from 1986 so the 2.125 will not fit in the frame.
Same rims front and rear no issues with the bead seating.
 
I've been a member of Wisconsin Traditional Archers since i was fifteen. So of course I'm going to recommend that you avoid the compound bow. :)

There's some very inexpensive youth long bows and recurves, it won't cost much to upgrade as the kiddo grows bigger and stronger. Compounds are expensive, heavy and maybe more complex than they need to be.

But I'm biased, so take it with a grain of salt. It's a great hobby for kids to get into, regardless of the style of bow.

Yeah this is what I was thinking. Need to be sure she's interested first before making the investment... A simple bow is the best option. Start at the basics.

But for me? Need to keep it hovering around 5 bills max. Bowtech Fuel looks promising. Just figured out they own the diamond line.
Just looking for a good all around range bow, I sencerly doubt I'd ever hunt. But you never know.
