Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[KingKrabb]

Seriously. I half expected to see an "In Praise of P/W Bassists" thread or the like crop up.

That would be like an Inception-type thing. I don't know if I could handle it.

On an semi-related subject, maybe I should start a "In praise of the dick who broke into my cousin's car and stole his bass and my pedals" thread.

Sorry, I'm still steaming from that. My fuzz :'(

. Im also thinking I'm going to have to take two trips of cabs with my wagon, because I don't trust the van anymore since blowing out at tire going 75mph.

S/D Problems. Haha.

First normal show tonight since the whole hiatus thing went down. So ready to be back on stage. It's in a tiny dive...we'll probably play way too loud for the room haha. Im also thinking I'm going to have to take two trips of cabs with my wagon, because I don't trust the van anymore since blowing out at tire going 75mph.

You don't have the right to play through more than one cab. Human tissue can spontaneously ignite at high SPLs due the concentrated methane, as flatulence can occur covertly in such an environment.

Ouch man. That really blows. Do you have serial numbers from at least some of the pedals and maybe pedalboard pics? report that to the police ASAP and call every pawn shop you can.

Hey haven't tried the BB yet, but thanks again, I did remove the Velcro off the bottom, and now I'm curious where do you buy that stuff?? It was tough stuff, my hobby lobby Velcro melted off fast in Texas heat.

I think it was 3M velcro from HD, but its the sooper dooper industrial stuff. Its grippy as all hell. I used to be able to pick up my pedal board and carry it around by a pedal. Until the adhesive for the carpet gave out

I have a smaller board now

I do at least for the Fuzz. Looking into that as soon as I get off work today; probably gonna hit up some pawnshops this weekend.

"Luckily" it was just my Big Muff and my RAT, not the whole pedalboard. Still stings like hell, though. Could be worse, they did take my cousin's Warwick.

 

[RAMUSIC]

I would hate to have a full on bass stolen, especially if it was a Warwick ): At least muffs and rats be everywhere for cheaps, so there's that. Hope you get em back!

About to board one of two flights home. Good by Texas, hello Utah then back home to Cali and home before my daughter goes to bed. Good times!

Sorry man, that blows, I hope the thieve(s) get arse cancer.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Yeah having pedals stolen sucks. My 91 Rat reissue, Rat Tail, tuner, LS2, Bazz Fuss, 1spot, and case all gone. Luckily the 2 rats had issues. But still that's like $500.

Speaking of which. If any one wants a Skullytone Russian Spy let me know.

Fly safe, good sir!

Me too, man. Me too. Haha

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Where the hell do I go to donate to before this gets more expensive? I don't think I'm looking hard enough.

edit
Found it. I was looking too hard.

 

[CL400Peavey]

OT, if I start a thread called "In praise of purple P basses with tapewounds with stickers on them", am I going to get banned for trolling? Because I'm seriously tired of these "In praise of" threads.

Do a "In praise of Satan worshiping doom" thread and see how many people come to troll your troll.

A little Thursday afternoon death/doom

So I recently heard that Conrad Sundholm, with his Conrad amps, is going to start selling recreations of the 2000s called the 2000x. He's already made a few 1st gen Model Ts (Model Cs now), and I've seen pictures, but there's nothing yet on his site about any of this. This just makes life way harder, cause like, do I keep saving for the Hi-Tone, or start saving for a recreation of the amp I already love made by the same guy that first made them? Plus I already know Conrad (he's serviced my old 2000s a few years back and signed the chassis), and I just love Sunn and eughheuughughuehguhuehfuizgdfiosanegoifac...

Gotcha I don't want to do Velcro, I'm gonna try bike chain. Pieces. Though that stuff could come in handy for other applications.

Hope we treated you well, Richardson isn't much I'd imagine but Dallas and Fort Worth are cool.

bought a bike chain and a link puller, but my TC pedals and some other pedals use really strange screws and are inset so far into the pedal that it just wouldn't be practical to go through and source longer screws individually to make it work. Not to mention I change things around all the time and would need to make a full on grid to affix everything to with holding screws on the underside. Maybe someday, but for now, it's velcro for me :/

 

[Ender_rpm]

I've since gone to cable ties. They are reasonably easy to source, install, and cheap. You can move stuff around and not drive yourself insane with screws and sticky shizz.

 

[The_Janitor]

Velcro works for me, pedals vary and the bike chain thing seems like a hassle.

Must be the end of the month - desperate sales guys blowing up my inbox wanting orders. poopie gets annoying.

Well ya have to ask yourself "will I dial the hi-tone to sound like my 2000s?" Reason i say that is last night at stoner practice my guitarist says? "that sounds like a SVT" and I replied "kinda" cause in the end your dialing it to your ears.
