Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Opened up my Bass Big Muff for the first time last night - got a kick out of the battery:

That's awesome!
 
We have been making serious progress with the new drummer. He's definitely filling the role the way we''d hoped. Unfortunately, we have zero new material, so even when we start playing shows after an almost year absence, we'll still be playing the same stuff.

New guitarist and drummer, though, should add quite a bit of flavor to the ol' soup.
 
I was playing my Carvin, which is nice and light, but I was crouched over in my chair at my recording desk. Probably with my head tilted to one side and my knee up, to prop up the guitar. I have terrible posture.



I traded my Les Paul to Nick for my Dunwich build. It was a fantastic guitar, but it was heavier than most of my basses and my left shoulder just gets worse every year. I had already planned on getting the Carvin to replace it, no regrets because I really like it. I think the trade thing happened because I told him I was thinking about selling it to buy the Carvin and help fund the build with the difference and Nick half joked I could just trade him.


I was working on guitar stuff mid last week and started to get some back pain and stopped jammin. Part is me trying to jam in a computer chair.
 
Is it hard to learn to drive a truck and trailer? Not a big rig, like a pickup and trailer? I'm looking for ways to expand flipping and the corolla is a weak link I have money for items to flip I can't pickup. I just don't want to be whipping that thing around hitting things.

It's not hard. Take a few tries, especially the backing up part. I did some driving of a massive van w/trailer when I was on the road with my old band last year. I was a little spooked at first but it got easy with some practice. Never got very good at backing it up, though... :D

Not that hard, just need to me mindful of wind and extra stopping distance if you're hauling a load. A good sized pickup should cover most of your needs, though. Might not even need the trailer.
 
No, it's easy. Don't cut corners too sharp, and drive a little slower than you normally would.

Might want to practice backing up in a wal mart parking lot, but it's easy to get the hang of. If you want the trailer to go left, you turn the wheel to the right, making the back end of the truck go to the right, directing the back end of the trailer to the left. Then turn the wheel to follow the trailer.

To be a Coyote the trailer will need to be enclosed and those blind spots will take some getting used to...
