Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Found this at the thrift store for $5. Seems really nice. Too bad I don't have a surround system and I have no idea what the balls to use it for. Realllllyyy wish a whole set had been there.

I think this damn hellacocksucker sold the 8x10 and won't reply to my emails anymore, it's been two days and he took the post down, oh we'll what you do? Either way i have a undying gas for second cabinet, might have to go 4x15's. Found this might pick it up, I think might have someone how could sell me a second empty one but the sunn version. But for now ill pair it with the bassman 1200, and run peavey Vulcan through the peavey 2x15.

More like we take not u haul.


The sarcasm donot work I guess.

Up your gear tetris man! I'm the king in our band.
There are six of us. There are three guitar rigs, a bass rig, a bigass keyboard, and the goddamn drums. Honestly, the drums are actually the hardest bit, because they take up more space than they look like they should, even though our drummer has a small kit.

The album you've been listening to the most this week is...?

Black Sabbath - Master Of Reality
My favorite Sabbath studio album. Every song is great. Plus the overall sound is good, and the bass tone is amazingly nasty.

The MIJ I scored a few weeks ago is sex.

Get an old peavey with the super ferrite pickups. Your signal will be ballmazing!
What are those super ferrite pickups like, anyway?

Yes my wife and I have always shared 1 vehicle.
Is that weird? My parents didn't have "his car" and "her car." They largely shared one car. There was also the truck, but that wasn't used as often, generally only when a truck was needed, as we were a family of four and it only fit three.

Ok I listened to monolord empress rising again. And I've been thinking about the recent talk of rehashing/electric wizard/other band copying and that they were throwN in that category.

Personally I've probably not delved as deeply into the genres as some so maybe that's why, I thought they sounded more like sleepy OM with those vocals, and just added guitar. Maybe I'm not making the comparisons well, but I've never heard anyone sound quite like EW. Lotta sabbath worship out of the lighter retro rock, but it just depends.

I think a big part from me is a really focus on vocals even if I can't understand what's being said. So I think I hear the vocalists naturally unique voice and miss any cookie cutter riffage.
They sound like a bit of a mashup of Electric Wizard, Om/Sleep, and Ufomammut to me. Not bad at all. Actually sounds a bit like some of the 5th Child stuff. Gods, I need to actually work on getting that band going.

I guess with the more retro stuff is that I'm just tired of anything that's very blatantly bluesy. To me, Sleep already did that about as well as I'm going to like it.

You never had a car prior to getting married? I guess Canada did have better public transportation.

Texas or probably the whole US save a few metropolitan areas like NYC are soooo not public transportation friendly or even great about having sidewalks everywhere. Not having a car in the places I have lived would have been nearly impossible.



That's because I called you old isn't it? :p

Just wait You'll be begging for one of my shabby chic vintage sacrificial altars.
Ugh. I honestly don't really want to live any place where I'd actually need a car if I weren't a musician. Place might be perfectly nice, but if I actually have to hop in the car to get anywhere, that's a dealkiller for me.

It makes me mad when someone with nicer gear than me doesn't have a clue how to use it, abuses it, then doesn't take advice on how to keep it from exploding. This guy's amp should be taken away, he's an unfit parent. I will foster it and take care of it.

I tried to call him an idiot in a way that wouldn't get me banned. What stupid *******. With a shaging SVT-II, no less. I agree, he shouldn't be allowed to own an amp like that, or really, an amp at all. He's practically a domestic abuser.

Matsumoku factory guitars and basses are the perfect boobies.

I too have a money problem. Only my problem is just with Peavey. Theirs like 2 more amps and and another cab I have my eye on and if they drop below a certain price I'm buying them.


Also on topic of Porsches. They screwed themselves with the 911 as their flagship. Put the motor of the best 911 into a cayman, you got yourself the best Porsche ever, but they'll never do it because nothing can be allowed to top the 911.
ALL OF THE PEAVEY!!!!!!!!! Because your rig should look like a goddamn spaceship.

I actually hate porsches. Can't stand them.

Jesus that looks nice. Stick? Please tell me it's a stick?

Front end reminds me of a Maserati Quattroporte to some extent. Does it have the AWD you were looking for?
You couldn't pay me to drive a stick here.
 
Rented a Camaro. Not a fan. Mustang was a hoot, no cargo for gear...
Bought the Outback XT for a family outing car. With three kids it was a stretch for cargo and dog. But now that two kids are out and on the divorce phase of my life I'm happy to still have it.
I consider the legacy wagons a great value and pretty easy to maintain.
Now the only thing I can bitch about subaru is motor design. The dreaded head gasket failure is not something to sneeze at. I have 160K on the car and now need to pull the motor. Prepping to do this now.
Luckily they are not overly complex and I have a loaner from family to drive in the mean time. I will be pulling motor and breaking it down for a complete refresh.
Sad part is people that are not inclined or setup to work on their own cars have to eat it with mechanics. The only outsourcing I will be doing on this rebuild will be a machine shop for the heads and block (if needed on the block).
 
A little late on the Ford Ranger thing. But my first truck was a 1981 Ford Ranger F-150. It was a full size F-150. 302 V8, you fox body fruits call that a 5.0
I beat the hell out of that thing. Ran over a mailbox on accident. Drag raced it. It was slow, ran 18s in the 1/4 mile. First time I ever bracket raced it at Norwalk High School nationals I made the quarter finals. Cut a garbage light and ran slow. Took it off road all the time, got stuck once (when I moved back to Ohio) haha. The turning radius on it was crazy awesome.
I called it the Dorf. It was a great truck.

Looked like this except it had a Maaco midnight blue paint.

I drive a station wagon. Space for daaayyyssss! I recently removed the cage from the back so now I can drop the backseats and load my drummer's gear at the same time. Total time-saver.

The only downside is fuel consumption. Its a big, heavy V6 and guzzles almost as much as a standard V8 sedan. Wouldn't be able to tell you how many miles to the gallon it does but all I can say is that I dump around $120 a week every time I refuel. By comparison, my first station wagon ran on LPG and I'd fill her up with $20 every week...and it would last me the whole week plus an extra day or two depending on how much driving I did.

shag I miss that car.
