Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[hydrohydra]

Thanks for being good enablers guys
I'm looking forward to playing it.

I have an 80s Japanese dimarzio loaded P. I need to sell it. Westone/Electra Phoenix. Cool bass. Body is like a P mixed with an SG. 1.5" nut. A little neck heavy. But I don't have any nice straps. Sounds awesome.

I still want a Stingray. I'd like to get a 5 string in the rotation at some point.

Your gonna want to keep that pick up lol

 

[ampegfuzz]

Yup, that's the ticket right there, and for sake of argument, vintage dimarzio loaded p basses > everything

Better then most I would say but not all

Also not all cream pickups ate dimarzio. Schaller made a clone back then too. So did ibanez.

Those 62 RI pickups suck

Actually... I totally forgot I have a Cream dimarzio P, one from the early 80s somewhere. I think it has a patent pending sticker on it.
hmmm.... That would look good.

Yeah forsure, I have some a set of clones I got on Craigslist for 40 bucks, sounds pretty much identical to my real ones in my Hondo, and I suppose I can't say they are king p yet because I still really want to try some Fralins or Aguilar hot p's

 

[ampegfuzz]

The lakland/hanson neo punch I have in the black p rules. Nice top end, good grind, and decent lows. All 3 of my p's excel at one thing but none are "the one"

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Yup look for that sticker

I'll have to dig around and find it. I'm pretty sure they do.

Whatever happened to all that Darkstar craze. I guess he stopped making them. Anybody ever get to try one?
They look cool as hell.

I visited the guy's website recently. Still appears to be making them. I want some, but thats a poopon of money for a pickup, and I'd want a pair. AS:LGSHD:LKG

 

[ampegfuzz]

The hammon guy I think stopped but someone else is making them now. Their ok sounding but I like regular p pickups better.

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

I'll take a bridge humbucker over a P bass all day long, but that's just me Although when I want to jam on some Sabbath or anything from the 60s or 70s, I always reach for the P.

 

[D.M.N.]

A local shop had a really clean 2000S stack a few months ago. I wasn't shopping for a new amp, but I was drawn to it. I checked the price tag: $2100!! I scoffed loudly and involuntarily.

The tech came over and said that he had to replace the OT, that's why they were charging so much. He also mentioned that they bought the set for next to nothing (because of that blown transformer). I mentioned that I thought it was still a bit high, but wished them good luck selling the thing.

Went back a month later and it was gone. Asked the sales guy about it and he said that someone came in and paid full price without even trying to haggle.

So yeah, people are willing to pay out the nose for those amps.

I'm not.

EDIT: MPDD, I got my Sentura II and a Crate cab loaded with Celestion Greenbacks for $400 around the same time that you got your 2000S.

poopie, $2100 with a replaced OT is insanity. I wouldn't pay for that head at all, not having the original transformer ruins it for me. Who ever bought that was a fool.

I want a pair to, he'll wire em in reverse for 525 and it would a the most asskicknessed jazz bass, throw those in a mahogany body with a ECG neck? Game over.

I didn't keep track of who was building em, so probably like ampegfuzz said.

Idk, I have them in my AVRI 62 P and they're real damn good at least for what I'm doing. But they don't sound anything like Dimarzio's

They look cool as hell.

I have an offshoot of the dark stars in my Jazz bass from Daguet guitars in France. I really like them, especially for recording clean bass. They're very wide spectrum pickups, definitely not for everyone. And they're hot, waaaaaay louder than my P's pickup. The dagstar takes up far less space though.

That bass had been for sale on Talk bass a couple of times. I GAS every time I see it.
