Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

eiffel tower...
Cool, but DP appeals to me more.

Ahahahaha. It would be funny if we all sent in inquiries about getting our doom bands on there.

More seriously, a friend of mine and some of his friends are talking about organizing a small doom/drone fest up in Sonora. When they get more specific dates nailed down (probably for next year), I'll let you guys know.

Ahahahaha. I just thought about another dude coming in and her being like, ok, we are the fems...
Hey man, nothing wrong with pegging.
 
Forgot to mention, when I met up with the drummer and guitarist for potential heavy weezer band. We tuned to C standard.

Used my Hondo and dropped it down a few steps. Guitarist was playing through 2 Sunn Model T reissues with 2 matching 4x12's sounded pretty awesome.

Was using pretty much the bongripper setup, just backed the gain off my DK a little bit.

I'll have to play around with things if we get this up and running, but if we're staying in C I definitely need to get strings with proper tension. I forgot how much just regular detuning sucks.

I did the same thing with the ric at the gig sat and it wants thicker strings. That slight shorter scale rally makes a world of difference in my book. My crazy experimentations continue.
 
Yeah, the Hondo sounds fantastic, and it's fine for sitting around the house playing, but standing/actually practicing with it was quite uncomfortable. I'm looking around for a cheap but cool P-bass to swap the pickup into. So I can keep the awesome dimarzio, but play it in something I'm much more comfortable with.
 
My 7 guitar stand showed up today. Then went to our ridiculously large post office for the first time today to get the Bluebeard. Left there and drove 30 miles and got the boss pedals and several patch cables were thrown in too so that's cool.

Had the McTroubles aka three mcdoubles lol. Damn yesterday I ate a torta, bag of burnt popcorn and some beers, the ride home was terrible soon as I headed out from mcdonalds my burnt popcorn and beer wanted out baddd like the kinda bad where I get goosebumps (poopbumps) all over my body as I fought the urge to just pull into a walmart. Home and clear now...

If it does happen, we'll keep a candle lit for you, Sartori (still makes me think of cheese).

I just posted once and GTFO. My point was as made as it ever would be. Anything after that is wasted time and effort.

It's still just weird how some people can't conceive there being another form of music out there then whatever it is they are playing/listening to that matters.

That guy who told Julian he'd get fired from bands and gigs for being loud and trying to be sneaky and ruin the show or whatever he was trying to imply was my favorite bit.

I don't check in on this thread often (and I certainly never check in on the PW thread) but I'd just like to point out that technically the only reason the PW thread is allowed to exist and why various other religious club threads have been locked is because the PW thread is a non-denominational association for the discussion of performing music in the context of any religious activity.

This is to say, if any of your bands have a Druidic, Satanic, Pagan, Scientological, Pastafarian, or any other decided or implied spiritual bent to your compositions or philosophy, I think you owe it to the rest of TB to crash that festival with the utmost volume and blasphemy.

Hail Satan.
