I dig it with the white knobs. Maybe even white pup covers?

Another successful endeavor!

I was thinking that too...

Tracheotomy bass

Tracheotomy bass

So the body is something MIJ with a bottom truss rod adjustment. Body looks ash to me and has some features that would give it a late 60s early 70s vibe. Evidence of pick up covers and ashtray. Not sure what Japanese companies offered a natural ash finish rear truss rod bass. Because it's for a 21 fret neck now. I'm thinking it had one before too. Haven't looked at the neck I have on hand for exchange. I think that neck pocket has been modified and looks crazy huge for my little jazz neck to fit. Anyone have any ideas.

What ya gotta do is find the SVTs with the 6146 output tubes

JimmyM has one with the 6146B tubes.

New record now available on the interweb.

Absolutely crushing.

Also, I'm glad that the song titles form a sentence/phrase.

Well, it seems i have a cracked molar that can't be saved, going to have to get it pulled. Then I'll explore options for an implant to replace it. Good thing I have good insurance.

Ouch. That sucks, dude.

I know someone who had to get all implants after a nasty car accident with a drunk driver.

I hate tracking vocals.

Vocal recording is so weird. For me it makes me really self-conscious.

It'll probably be a Lull that some tool doesn't know what that brand is.

Ha ha, hopefully.

Uncle Al has moved back to LA and Divorced his Wife/Manager. This probably isn't going to end well given his history.

Wat.

Eh.... Look at the leaders of the "right hand path". Lots of them make up those rules as they go, choose which ones to enforce, and generally practice a "do as I say, not as I do" mentality.

You tell me which is worse. I choose an honest enemy over a false friend every time.

I don't think one really needs many more personal rules than "don't be a douchebag." Especially if one is honest with oneself.

They're awesome if you love dirty tube tone, without going all the way into ripping distortion. I love mine, it's my favorite amp I've ever owned. It does not do clean and I do not care. Turned to about 1 or 2 on the volume through a 810, they sound awesome. I used mine with that kind of setup and my RAT for my tone on the last Mental Waste album and it was killer.

What is clean?

Welp, just got out of the doctor's office, went in to have chunks of my skin surround my biopsies removed. So now I look like the hunch back of Notre Dame and will have stitches for the next two weeks. Then I have them removed, and have more chunks of skin removed. Bluuuugggg. Downside is I'm not allowed to lift more than 20 lbs and I work construction. Upside it it was on my right shoulder and lower left back, so I can still strap on a bass.

Ouch. shag. You're too young to be having that kind of health issue.

should be the first electrical start up tonight

Awesome.

Man I should have bought Toilet paper when I was buying food last night. Now I have to go buy it and it alone and look like I got nothing to do but crap all day.

Yard also gave me allergies or something... But it's getting better. Whoever lived here all these years before me used their yard like a trash can. So I go out with a bucket and collect litter as often as possible. This is old litter mind you. Pop top style beer cans etc.

Buy allergy medicine at the same time as toilet paper.

Ooooh no newest electrician funked up my wall so he's relegated to smaller fixes and he's all pissy and throwing his tools down every time he's done with one.

***? Sounds like some immature behavior, throwing tools down and crap.

Think of it like this:

Tube Rectifier = Classic Marshall/Fender style classic rock style tones, there's a bit of sag and bloom - a microsecond or two of delay between the time that you hit the strings and the time that the note comes out of the speaker.

Solid State Rectifier was invented by Mesa to satisfy the thrash metal guys that needed a tighter, quicker response so that they could play fast without it sounding like a wall of mush.

That's how it was explained to me anyway.

Kinda. Sunn used SS rectifiers on the later versions of the 2000S/350B.

Yep.

Stickers coming off momentarily. It plays like butta.

Nice. Except for that Sublime sticker. That is the height of lame.

Did you cry out "IT'S ALLLLIIIIIIIVE!" when it came online?

View attachment 444064did a little tune up

Nice. I like the black pickguard.

Have you thought about using amp style knobs?




Anyway, so good news and bad news. The good news is our records came in, and I got my copy, #3/500. Looks pretty rad, and it's surreal holding a record that I'm on. Also the new Catapult song is coming along nicely, and basically done. There are a couple more in the works, but one is basically finished, musically, and will soon be ready for us to play at shows.

The bad news is that my guitarist got in a car accident today. Some ******* ran a red light at 60 mph and my guitarist hit him as he went past (it was green for my guitarist). So he has a concussion and his knee is busted up. Still, lucky that the timing was just right for him to t-bone the red-light-runner instead of getting t-boned himself.

Odds are high it's from fujigen matsumoku factory which made all the high end basses of the era. I.E. Aria, Electra, squire, fender and so on and so on

Album getting mastered today!!!!! Hazah!!!!! Mother nature couldn't stop us, sickness couldn't stop us, electrical gremlins couldn't stop us, the law couldn't stop us.

Man you know you are old when you buy a "Comfort" pedal bike and since you are in WIlliamsburg you go to the outlet store to buy new shirts for work and new sneakers and you go in five sneaker shops and can't find a "normal looking" pair of sneakers lol.
Edit, and also when the young bucks on the web are appreciating Robin Trower makes you smile.

Did you pick up one of these while you were out?

No, but that would work great for my old man dangling sack to not get squished when seated after an unknown to me ball wandering incident...KeeeeeeeeeeYaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

 

[Ron Now]

Thanks to everyone who's downloaded the record and the kind words. We're all really happy with how it came out, and are excited to get the physical copies out into the world.
