Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[The_Janitor]

Good luck, this guys probably gonna be like "dude we used to be friends what's up?" Don't fall for that, fight the dark side.

That ship sailed when he moved, took my stuff with him, then gave it away. He knew exactly what he was doing and he knew how to find my contact info - he could have easily called my parents and asked how to contact me, they're in goddamn phonebook. Slimy shager knew exactly what he was doing.

I've got an X100B head, it's what I use for guitar on all my demo tracks.

I meant to ask when you test my roadstar through it and didn't like it, were you using your dually or the 1x10?

 

[Kaa]

Reminds me if this one time I had to go to the campus med center for an extreme case of Blue Balls...

Details, man details!!!
We're all your friends here, who will laugh at your misadventure.

The 1x10, but the Dually really doesn't sound/respond much different than it. That's one of the reasons I got a Dually. I have an Eminence Basslite in the 110, ported and the cab is closely matched the specs of the speaker. It was really just the EQ points on the amp, not great to my taste. Other people might feel differently, I've never liked those kinds of guitar heads as bass amps. Some people really like the VTM120 and JCM800 as bass heads, I've had both and didn't like either for bass much at all. I guess it really just depends what you're shooting for with it. I tend to go the opposite way, I've had old vintage non master volume bass heads and also liked them for guitar. Traynor YBA-1, Sound City B120, etc.

Eh, I heard enough already - don't really need the details of that story.

Well if that isn't a reason to buy one, the King of Demo's rocks one!!! How is it on bass? And what power tubes you using in it?
Edit. Just read you don't dig them for bass.

Eh, I think it's poop on bass. Well, did'nt wow me at all at least. I'm pretty sure I have Sovtek 6L6GC's in it and EHX preamp tubes.

Yeah I need to find something I really dig on bass and I like ok enough for guitar, I need to it to wow me more on bass than guitar.

Thanks, there is one that looks to be in great shape that haunts my local CL from time to time. I may have to say bye bye Orange Terror.

Austin? Would be a great opportunity for @askrere to see what it's supposed to sound like.

 

[Ron Now]

Or better yet, he can grab in and then run it along with the Dually via the 800RB low amp to the Dually high amp to the bassic....

Hi-fi David Sims rig.

See I'm excited to get the cab fixed, because I sold the peavey Windsor for sounding good, but farting funny and I blamed the amp, before the speakers, and now I want to try all the cheaper cool heads I used to have again.

I like that Lemmy tone (when it's not used to play Motörhead ).

Wow it corrected my spelling to include the ö

Damn that's right near me, I have no real need for it it the funds, but it's tempting if It wasn't obviously gonna disappear in hours probably. I could hear how partly how loud I should be getting, and biamp

 

[Tractorr]

Yeah, I've got some more research to do, but considering I have a written confession that confirms that the items did belong to me and that they were given away (thus the intent to permanently deprive me of the objects in question) This ought to be enough to get some restitution.

Just printed and saved a hard copy of the email as well, just in case.

I would also be careful about reminding him of this email next time you contact him. Just inform him he owes you money and try to work it out the best you can. If he won't work with you then you have the evidence you need to take him to court. Nothing wins you a case quicker than the person you are against perjuring himself.

 

[Blank_0101]

Pm'd him with my number I'll see what's up at least.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

So what's the deal with the cab askrere?

I have to go buy stuff to repackage it in a second, I went earlier but the stuff wouldn't fit in my car so returning now for the materials in a friends truck. Then once shipping labels done, off to the manufacturer and waiting.

Yeah, I'm not going to go full-on litigious right out of the gate. Bad news for him is that he also gave away a vintage fender 2x12 from the late 60s /early 70s. That and the Sunn are both worth way more than I paid for them, and will cost a fair amount to replace. Looking at closed eBay sales and discounting those a bit - the head and cab are worth $800 easy on the low side... $1300.00 plus on the high side.

If by some stretch I actually end up getting reimbursed that money could go a long way toward a used SVT/SVTII/400/400+
