Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis

tell me about it. Gear is all good. But managed to seize my engine 25 feet from my house, in 3 feet of water that didn't look that deep....
Whew, took awhile to catch up.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy was freaking amazing.
2. Flats: I used Chromes exclusively for several years. Absolutely love those strings. Still have them on my 75 P and they sound incredible on there.
3. The Book of Life looks awesome. Animated Guillermo del Toro movie about dead spirits? Yes please.
4. I think image and look can be a big part of any music genre, and is becoming increasingly important/influential in our genre as it grows in popularity. I don't care if a band looks a certain way, but if people start thinking it influences the integrity of their music, shag that noise. There's a huge flavor of the month thing going on in stoner/doom right now with a bunch of labels releasing tailor made bands that look and sound like that the label thinks they should. Not down with that. The label we're working with doesn't give a poopie about how we look, they care about how our music sounds, and that's how it should be.
5. Car accident has put ordering the HI-TONE on the back burner, and is making me reconsider as well. I think for now I'm going to pursue cheaper tube options to get a better idea of exactly what I'm looking for. Need to see how some of the more popular amps work with the Dually. Might just grab an SVT-CL or something at this point.

Yeah we're almost good to go, this vocalist were working with is a natural, few more jam session and he'll be ready to gig, and at which time I'll expect you to be there :b
Laz, you need that Mesa 400 that Ron's wife won't let him get.

I'd go for the 400 over a D-180. My friend with all the amps picked up one super cheap recently (D-180) it's definitely a cool sounding amp, but it's very dirty. Not a great clean amp, it can do clean, but it excels at dirty. His ended up blowing fuses constantly so he returned it to the store he picked it up from for a refund.
