Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[JoeVictim]

If it works, that's $50 a speaker, and $50 for the " head". If do it.

Also, shag yes to mountain!

Don't know much about the Thor amps, but there's one in a shop here in town for more than double that price. Would be a fun, impractical practice amp.

That a good version to get?

thats the one i have, i love it for funk, but wouldnt use it for anything else.

and ampeg must be smoking trees, super easy to dial in (as there isnt much to dial in to begin with as theres two knobs). this is what flea used on BSSM.

Have you played a DiMarzzio PAF? Wonder how they compare.

Model P, if that's what you're talking about. PAF's a guitar humbucker. Nice pickup, but not bright enough for everyday use (at least for me) and a big low mid hump. Sounds great, but if I could only keep one, it'd be the Geezer.

Highlighted part is my exact thought process.

Need some feedback. A local guy is selling a '70s Gibson Thor 215 combo amp. He has it listed on eBay here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-Supe...497?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b02712941

Any thoughts on this? I may scope it out, even though I just scored that 3620.

And Mountain rules.

Ooooooh I want that, ive always wanted a 215 combo, you definitely need to buy it, have your fun with it and then sell it to me, seriously. I'd put my EVMs in it and slam it with my almighty fuzz hammer. I AM THOR!!! DOOM GOD OF LIGHTNING AND SHVT.

You know who is severely underrated as a bassist? Felix Pappalardi, that's who (I'm on a huge Mountain kick at the moment).

Theme from an imaginary western - does anyone even do power ballads anymore?

PSA: the pharmaceutical grade/ weapons grade laxative they give you to clean you out before your ride on the silver stallion is no joke. I think I may have shat out most of my innards.

Hey all. Liquid diet today, then at 3:00 I start the weapons grade/full-on toxic event laxative for my anal invasion tomorrow. Good times, good times.
In all seriousness, I would have been a lot more cavalier about getting this done, but a buddy of mine got the Big C in the colon a couple of years ago, and now has a bag. So, I'm gonna get this s**t checked out pronto.
I had a heart catheter done last year, so the ticker's good, the lungs have been smoke free for over a decade, so I'm not sweating them, and the cholesterol is medically controlled, so I should be fine there.
All that said, I will now get run over by a bus.

Hope that everything turns out to be normal. I guess that's kinda the best I can say for that particular procedure.

Let me rephrase" I want all MY bits to stay inside, and all of the technological bits to come out.....maybe."

Well, if the cyborg age were upon us, I would actually swap out my whole digestive system.

@JimmyM has a set in his P and P/J basses and cant say enough good things about them.

Yeah. I recall some soundclips, and they sounded pretty good.

JimmyM is a boss. I like his humor and he's always a straight shooter.

Lol yeah. And his lack of telling us that we're playing too loud even though we're playing something different than he's playing. I wish that attitude were more common on talkbass.

"And still has the battery cover."

Well, yeah, it shaging better.


In other news, I have a random fever today for no reason.

Now you're ready for your spirit journey. Follow the scope within and into the cosmos.

My step mom worked in endoscopy for years. That colon blow they give you is serious business. Hang in there.

Evidently there is nothing wrong with my Rat King. Ryan thinks I was not giving it enough power because I had it daisy chained with a Boss TU-3 tuner and a Boss LS-2 that splits my signal. So my RK basically got a round trip vacation on my dime for no reason other than my dimwittedness.

I'm 46 until August 20th and I just had a physical. Every thing was good but still waiting on lab to come back. I had one four years ago and all was good and I expect similar results. I did get a script for some DOOM toe that over the counter stuff couldn't clear up so soon I can proudly sport me so Carlesque green flip flops. All the recent health talk on here made me feel like sharing. At least I don't have to endure a dungeon expedition into my colon of chaos for a few more years.

I'm 46 and I am metal.

You mean hang out there...

Trade pending for the Super Thor!

shag yeah.

24 on august 25th. But I'm immortal so health is not a concern...

Man at the restaurant this old guy outside lit up a cig and starting coughing and choking and mom couldn't stop laughing. Embarrassing, but she was right it was funny.
