Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

The Marshall and 4x12 on Jeff's side of the stage is part of the bass rig too. He runs a bass and guitar rig together so he's got normal bass rig running off the brimstone distortion. And that mxr and DS-1 go into the Marshall for a lemmy-esq tone.
That makes a lot more sense then. He had one seriously mean tone going on and I was genuinely surprised it was all coming from a single SVT Heritage and fridge.
 
So I read some random blog post a while back along the lines of "movies which once have been seen cannot be unseen." I'd seen all the flicks except two: "American Mary" - which you can stream on Netflix, and "Cheap Thrills" which I had to order the DVD for. We watched American Mary in the rehearsal room and the guys still talk about it. I finally watched Cheap Thrills last night. Wow. The less you know about it the better.

What's the blog/list if you still know?
 
Had a great GH practice today, got our first song pretty much done, just got to get it a bit tighter. Shvttily recorded it on a iPhone under a pillow, sounds not that great but it's cool to finally be able to really listen to it. Feels a lot longer than the 8 minutes it is.

I think iPhone demos are decent, I can tell the instruments apart and I didn't get much cymbal wash, we had the amps facing the drummer in like half circle and put the phone uncovered behind the amps on a coffee table.
 
OK this is the list - which leaves me scratching my head as to where the hell I got "Cheap Thrills" from...

I'm surprised I've seen as many of those that I have. Never seen the evil dead though!

Also not on that list but "the bleeding house" is a creepy movie on netflix. The southern gentleman is one of my favorite characters in concept.

It's hard for anyone to beat Javier Bardem's Anton Chigur as the best bad guy I've ever seen.
 
So I've been considering a new fuzz for while but I cant decide which one I want, I had a rat and a supercollider, I wanted a blue beard but ive been unlucky for a couple years now actually landing a deal, I've been considering a mountain king megalith, the black sheep fuzz by black arts, or a boss fz-2 hyper. Any suggestions or input? My price range would be like 200-250

What's your setup? Idk is a fz-2 would be the most bass friendly, but that's intriguing sometimes.
 
Who here thinks I should make a flying V body for my Matsumoku Washburn. Basically use the neck, PAF pickups, pots, wires, all the hardware and just make a new slab for it. I love its sound and neck but have never really fallen in love with the looks. Flying Vs are the shvt IMO. And I could get help from ol Greg the carpenter down at the practice space. He makes really nice, high end boutique stuff. And dude uses super dope grain. Don't think he's ever made a guitar but we could figure it out.

I'm Kawai-Chang, and I endorse this message.

What's it look like now?

I rock the creamy blue cheese dressing on my fries, second favorite is A-1 sauce.

I'd say your the weirdest so far.

Just can't get into bleu cheese, or Gorgonzola etc. it's got a weird dryness to it.

If you're at Wendy's, a chocolate frosty is an xcellent fry dip (thanks Malaysian aunt).
