Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I hope my DOD delay power plug holds out. The 1/4" power adapters are mega rare and this pedal devours 9volts like it's the last supper.

I need to figure out why my looper wasn't acting right with the rat pedal. I haven't hit the limit on my one spot, so that should be interesting to play with. My board got stripped down for the recording. Producer didn't want anything in the board that I didn't absolutely have to have. Got to put it back together tonight. Also, playing the p bass tonight. Got her all ready for a b string. Shifted everything down one and put the G in the B's place for now, to keep some tension there. Make it quicker to swap when I get to the space. Found pickup covers on eBay for under $2. Just have to measure to check for sizing. I had no clue that P pickups had so many different sizes. Seems weird, but whatever.

Joe, drummer is taking care of your shirt. Thanks for the support. Here's what the front looks like incase anyone else wanted one. $15 will get it shipped in the US.

Got to work on some art for the cover, decide on album name, and all the fun stuff that goes with making a record. We need some pro pictures of the band too. Soon! Still Valley has been on a roll lately and we just got asked to open for Jucifer. Working in new songs tonight!

TLIF, y'all!
Thanks Joe!

For the power adapter you can get one of these: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
or one of these: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

They're dirt cheap and allow you to use your boss or one-spot style adapter.

Not sure if you mean you shat the shape of the country or if you're implying my folk are poop but I can confirm my homeland does, at the very least, smell like crap in the suburbs thanks to those sewerage pipes running so close underground. The stray dogs don't help either.

Finally got bites on my MXR M80 and Aggie TLC pedals. Pedalboard is looking all kinds of skinny right now but I can't think of anything I really want to add to it right now. Might put the money towards a bigger amp.
More like the fecal equivalent of the total land mass of Uruguay. Don't bite me, bro!
 
Lol, don't worry about the nails, since I'll insist you wear a watch.
I rocked a Timex. I went easy on you this time with a motorcycle license plate. Doc who are all these other people in the room? Folks we got a runner hit him with the gas pronto. Ok Kawai now count backwards from shite is about to get real up in here...
 
Speaking of black metal, my band finally has one of the tracks from our forthcoming album up:



Bass was my Ric 4003 recorded direct, then re-amped a few times with my VT Bass and Joyo Ultimate Drive.

Nice sound. On Fathomless' album, I used my 4001 for most of it, just through my rig and EV RE-20.

Pretty doomy. Dig it. Music to die in the snow to.
Thanks. :)

Silver and gold appeal more than plunder n virgins to the god of thunder.
Of course they do. Virgins are completely unappealing, as they're awful.

Starting recording tonight on the debut album for a friend's band. I'm so excited, work needs to be over already so I can stop it with the stupid paperwork and pricing programs and start setting up microphones.
What's the band like?

They're that sort of hardcore/doom/sludge hybrid style. They're pretty good, I enjoyed seeing them open for Black Cobra and Weedeater. I know everyone in the band. I went on a southwest tour with two of them in our respective old bands in 2007 and the frontman play guitar in Warp Rig with me. I also recorded and played session bass for an indie/folk/punk kinda band previously with him and the drummer as well.
