Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[dozicusmaximus]

Those Roto flats are quiet because your not beating the sh*t out of them. I've been thinking about getting a set for one of my BEAD basses. Set up for A though. They have supreme tension. I tried this before... I might have a set lying around. The Steve Harris set was awesome on a p/j I had tuned to D standard, drop C for teh sludge.

On my way to the jam loft to practice, celebrate my drummers birthday, and write new songs for the next two days, about to hit the liquor store and GC for some supplies!

I really like the sound of my Rat, i just had terrible feedback problems in that tiny basement. I'm looking forward to spending some time dialing it in, especially if/when i build a blender to go with it.

Keep us (me) posted on the blend, is a passive blend achievable?

Wow that was the fastest craigslist deal ever. Ender suggested I look into an lpb-1 I look them up on craigslist and see that ds-1 and it for $40, email the guy and he texts me back and says he'll do $30 and he just happened to have them in his car and he was driving two streets over from my house. All together maybe 20-30 minutes lol.

$30 for dat? Score! You can use the DS-1 for moddin' practice.

I don't think so, i think you need some kind of buffer in the circuit. There's two circuits that I'm going to try, one is simple and the other is simpler, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Sounds like a plan, but what's one mod on a DS-1 already got an idea?

There's a $200 peavey roadmaster in town that's blowing fuses owned by a doomy loving guy. If I could get it for $150 I'd be interested but idk at $200 that's a bit steep I think for peavey in need of repair.

YIKES. That's a mess. Ironically I'm looking into a Jetta Maybe VW's can save our souls!!

I couldn't get rid of our 99 Jetta fast enough. At 90k, everything started to go. All within two weeks. I dropped $2k into it and traded it in on my wife's 10' CRV. If you want a truck, old 4cyl Toyota would be a good one to look at.

I think there's a few mods out there if you search. I remember watching the Penny Pedals bass-voiced DS-1 vid on Bassfuzz.com and thinking that sounded pretty cool, but I don't think the actual mod was discussed.

Larger value, better quality input and output caps is usually a good place to start. If you search enough you said be able to find forums where people experiment with whatever pedal and you can pick up a few tips that way.

A welcome anecdote, truly. I DO need a truck, rather badly, however I effectively wasted almost 1600 dollars and have no remaining cash whatsoever. The Jetta is owned by a friend. Gonna have to figure something out before the Dodge bites it.

Laz, love the bass 666 shirt.

Sam, forgot to tell you, I'm flattered you kept the bennington triangle font for Monobrow on the new rekkid!

Sonny from Bluebeard had some ds-1 mods out there somewhere too.

Well as Stephen put it when he was doing the artwork for Big Sky, it has become our "brand". Plus we all love it, and it's original!

I don't remember who, but someone recommended "Early Works" by Church of Misery a little while ago. Thanks! Much better than some of the later stuff I was listening to. The riffs are more interesting, the vocals are better and it's a little proggier. Funny enough some of it sounds like Mastodon to me.


Just ordered it on vinyl. 3LP for $30 not bad.

I was just listening to disc two in the car! I was kind of bummed when they got the new singer and started cranking out the same albums over and over.
