Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[dozicusmaximus]

As low as I can go buzz free. I hate fret buzz. I beat the hell out of my strings when I get excited. I can handle some clank. I usually like flats so it's more of a clack which sounds better to me.
I've never had a nice bass properly set up though. So this could all change someday.
So I guess some buzz would be ok if I was turned up loud enough. But if I hear it coming off the bass playing quiet it bugs the sh*t out of me.

I had an acoustic bass that was just about impossible to get fretbuzz with. The action was stupid high, like high enough where chords were difficult above the 8th fret.
That piezo pickup sounded awesome though.
I've never heard a pickup that went that low and stayed clear since.
I'd really like to get a solid body with one of those Graphtech acoustiphonic bridges.

You need one of these:

Ahhh, ye olde Jamerson setup. Strings 1/2" off the fretboard?

It's not quite that bad, but it's up there.

Also, Futurama is incredibly good. The episode where bender is shot into space is some of the best sci-fi ever written. Period.

I seriously love what a piezo bridge pick up does for an electric. NEED a HPF for them for buffering impedance, and to filter the huge low end. The triple bucker Supra I posted yesterday has one. Really sounds like an amplified acoustic with it turned up. I need to get stronger on a six string so I can convince my dad to never sell that guitar.

If you're gonna move the Mini on, I may be interested in taking it off your hands, hit me up if/when you do decide to get rid of it.

Thanks for the offer but I actually traded the Mini for the Beta. JRock in the classifieds was looking for a Mini so we did an even Steven. It worked out perfect because he wanted more grind and I wanted more thump. The Mini is a cool tube amp in a box though for sure, just a grindier tube amp. It was super sweet on guitar.

With chicken wing grease for fluid movement. Loved that documentary, especially where they threw Jamerson out of the car on tour for eating pigs feet in the car! And how he had playboy magazines on his stand in the studio instead of sheet music.

I'd give it a diddle but probably throw it back. Never could gel with a 6, 5 strings really was at the edge of comfort for me. 4 is probably where I belong though unless I ever get comfortable with octave courses.

I always wanted to try one of those Spectorcore models or you go the old school look with the Italia Mondial for your piezo bridge

I know the Joyo UD gets a lot of love on here. If someone wants a non-Darth Maul one I am moving the customized wood veneer one I got. Also moving my Sub-Lime since I was setting it to overdrive anyway the Beta replaced it, Doomer discount of course.

What is this documentary?

I like the sound of 1/2" high strings. I don't like when things bottom out.

"Standing in The shadows of Motown"

 

[dozicusmaximus]

I can't think of anything I want to listen to the past few days. Nothing sounds good. It sucks when this happens. This ever happen to anyone else.
This generally means I have to listen to something from my childhood like poppy 90s dance stuff.


It's not working.

No worries my man, I didn't really need it anyways. I'll probably grab one eventually, or not. bunch of other crap I actually need to pick up before that anyways.

Yeah, that's the one.

EDIT: Also the one where Fry gets worms and the one where he's stung by the crazy space bee.

I like the peavey look, but taking those metal strips and pastel knobs off really made this look nice. And it's quite compact looking

I so want a cheap 400 series... Got one for $15 and sold it for $100 after putting in a green pilot light and adding a detachable cord aka making it amazing.
