Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
There was a guy at my high school I always had classes with and related friends. One day he sits next to me and is like you know we have classes together and the friends same friends, what's up. We talk a bit and he randomly gets quiet and segues into this story about how he's a sexual offender til 18 cause he accidentally grabbed a girl. The story was too unnecessary and the details shaky and ended in don't say anything which made me wonder how I would have if he just didn't say anything.
Later I noticed any girl he approached he always grabbed them close with both arms and they'd struggle. Then one day he grabbed my dick at random and I realized this dudes just some crazy toucher. He's lucky I had a bee like calm to the grabbin' less passive texans would have probably caused him some hurting.

That's the thing then I'm paying out the nose and learning nothingI wish I lived closer to an educated helpful doomer or TB'er.
Wrap a string with sandpaper, scratch side out. Run sandy string through nut. That said, bigger strings haven't been an issue. Just need enough string to keep it low at tuning peg. The wrap forces it to stay on place. I had a B that would flop out. Replaced with new and had enough wraps that the wrap tension kept it from flopping out.
Ouch. Not even flowers or candy? Straight for the prize?
I hope the delay works so I can start saving for a moog. I blame this thread.
I only had 3 beers 
. I didn't notice much difference between straight to the jack and 250k pots so I kinda think it's more to do with hi-fi rigs and noticing more high end with larger value pots. Also what did the road star have for a pup? I know some ibanez had dimarzio clones and knockoffs for a while

So, I'm looking at options for DIY recording, since everything else fell through. My buddy has a 24 channel board. Got the Behringer DI on the board (sansamp clone). Thinking of SM57 in combo with DI for maximum coverage. Brought delay home. Tightened up loose pot. Won't get to run it til Friday. Fingers crossed that's it. None of the soldering looks out of place. Where could I get max dollar for digitech synth? eBay fees suck
Might be worth using a clean DI as well - get a good raw signal and you can reamp to your hearts content.
Almost forgot the lead singer of the metal band did a podcast type interview and they played a track fro the new EP

yeah unless its actual children (kids, not 17 year old girls) involved i tend to want as much info as possible before throwing around the crazy accusations. i mean hell i was dating a girl when i was 18 and she was 15 in highschool, turns out we got married and have two kids and have been together almost 14 years, but technically i was a "pedophile" for a few months my senior year of highschool.
actually it was a running joke that my wife and her mom were gonna turn me into the cops if i ever broke her heart, thank god i didnt! lol
Make Max buy it.

To me the key is audio pots, the standard fender tone knob is a 250k log pot. A pair of 500k audio will allow for full taper of the tone and volume no jumps. Also they are old and nasty and I don't care about vintage pots.
As for the pickup research says it's an ibanez sp-4, not sure really. It looks like a dimarzio clone, but Corey's review was that it's was microphonic, woody and boomy. In addition it too was filthy as heck and the foam and metal shield bottoms have all separated and it's kindly weirdly wired all together. So, I figured I'd get something working, and it came in creme and Corey had one in his p bass tuned to bead he used in his dually GK clip for me (which I liked).
In the meantime I can clean up the old pickups and pots and rewire the harness and compare.
Also need to shield like 2-3 bass cavities what's the best option? I hated the copper tape just got a ton of cuts. I am thinking a paint.
Really it's just a cultural and time thing. These laws never existed before. They don't pose a problem to me, but more indigenous tribes seem to do it differently and don't appear depressed or emotionally damaged or scarred.
I'm a big fan of the stew mac paint. It's "pricy" but it's actually the better deal for cost vs. quantity. I also strip back wire and tape them in cavities to make sure all grounds and shielding is connected. I went the extra mile and stripped like 2 inches of wire them taped it to the cavity with electrical tape after 3 coats of shielding paint was applied and dried. It's like a 4 day process to properly shield a bass with paint. The end result was a DEAD quiet bass.
Spent some time with the Clone Theory yesterday. The chorus is thick and not quite like any other chorus that I've used before, I'd say that it's less "musical" than most, but thick and cool in a sort of lo-fi way. Apparently it's the same pedal that Peter Hook used in Joy Division and New Order.
The vibrato half is pretty out there, it's a true pitch shifting vibrato, but it's got a really sea-sick atonal quality. I don't think I'll have a use for it other than weird noise, but it's cool.
Not sure how happy i would be with it if I'd paid $200+ like a lot of people do.

Is the paint resealable for later applications? The roadstar is ready, but bass vi I'd wait an I need to get a jazz body for my p body then shield it. Is there enough paint for that too?
I'll need to read that thread you made and shared with Julian a few weeks ago.
It comes in a paint can like house paint. I think the first can that was bought, that we passed around, lasted 5 years or so before it went bad. I still think that happened because it wasn't sealed properly. We did countless basses and guitars with it and still had like half a can when it went bad.
pick of the jazz i just did. bBg help and bonus is the copper plate in the control cavity. All the grounds were soldered to that
