Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Good for you guys pushing through school. I just could not do it. Made the mistake of not going back after two semesters and just going to work. I've been very lucky but not having a BS is a bit of a hindrance looking for new opportunities.
 
And then hopefully marry rich, I'm a gold digger what of it. As long as they give me a monthly Peavey allowance I would change every diaper ever.

I'd marry a well of lady and be a house husband/stay at home dad. Keep the house looking good and cooking and doing my flipping and other investments.

I'd keep my kid in a terrarium and hose it down after weening so it'd not need Diapers.
 
We rent. Saving to buy, hopefully in this area.

I spent about 3k on school at a community college. Left with two certifications and some college hours. Worth every penny. I've gotten a lot of other education and certifications through work though for free. Theres a lot of growth in trade skills....

Unrelated, I replaced the speed knob on my minifooger trem. I can manipulate the speed without the expression pedal a lot easier now.

Oops, sorry. Wrong thread. http://www.talkbass.com/threads/blood-everywhere.1089409/

I am 41 and I am metal
LMFAO... Yeah someone needed some super glue before the set started. That bass probably smells like a corpse.

Drummer in the last band cracked his finger mid set (we were supposed to play twice), blood all over the kit after the set. He didn't miss a beat.
Didn't get paid cause we packed it in after the first set.
Bar owner gave me the you'll never get booked here again speech... Simple reply was "good we aren't interested in playing your poopy bar."

This kid went a little farther than that though.
 
I bet they are renters too...jk jk
Posts like this are why this thread is awesome. Seriously lol'd. We make fun of each other pretty well.

Beebass had a SC150 but recently sold it when he got that Hiwatt. I was tempted to buy it but wasn't in the best financial position to do so. Ironically I'm now looking at an amp 3 times the price he was charging for the Sound City :rolleyes:
 
@beebassdude does, or had one. I had a bass 150 for a while.

that thing sold in 5 seconds, i didnt even post an ad, all i did was post the idea that i might be selling it and had 2 offers within a day. sold to a good dude up in PA. i got $850 for it with the replaced heyboer tranny. prices on the 150s seem to be between 800-1000 depending on condition/tubes/caps/etc.
 
I really dig your EQ voicings. Very musical, i found the same to be true with my VT.

The bass and treble are right from a GT120. I always found those work well with bass or guitar. Pretty universal shelving EQ when you have a nice passive james. The Mid control is from an Ampeg V9, its a much simpler (less parts ie) active mid then from the SVT or V4(b). Gives about +-20dB of gain at the center frequencies of ~400, 1k, and 2.2k Hz according to simulations. Actual mid centers vary with parts tolerance. You can get a envelope type feel when you crank the mid up.

The amp is not so far from a SVT or your GT200 in overall idea. Up to the active mid its basically a GT120 minus the Depth (set to max), and a smidge of limit on the max gain. Then its the active mid from the Ampeg but the phase inverter is right from a Traynor YBA series amp, something you would see in any Marshall or Model T or what have you.
