Morning gents.
Played gear tetris last night, got the indie/blues group off to a lameo fair/battle of the bands. Played a 30 minute set.... and we won! not sad about $500.

Sweet. If you have to play music like that, you might as well come home with money in your pocket.
I actually enjoy playing with them. Everyone except me is fuqing amazing. Singer is a 17 year old chick with huge pipes, and she can play decent guitar. New lead guitar player is a metal shredder that can tone it back when he needs to, but can unleash. Drummer is the singers dad. He has a degree in music theory and can play every thing from marimba to clarinet.
And then I hack around on bass.
waiting for the plumber, can't record demos on the iphones anymore, because we messed up the speakers and the mics, starting to have anxiety that i only bought the devi ever vintage fuzz master, because of the cool great wave graphic and i'm going to be irritated if it doesn't sound like hell's vacuum cleaner
Drummer of GH made a logo...its badass.
I'd look for a 15" powered speaker. Anywhere between 350-1000W would be fine (as usual take wattage ratings with a grain of salt).
If it's an old piece from the 70s-80s then 100W would probably be enough.
Zup fools.
Idk, in the cover band I used to play in, I think we had a 2000w PA with two 215 mains? Handled stuff pretty well. For practice with my original band, we used to use my Bassman 300pro into a 1x15. Also plenty loud.
In other news, in a week I'll be flying back to CT to finish up school, and a week tomorrow I'm going to SLEEP. All sorts of stoked. If any one wants some Sleep swag, patches or what not, let me know and we can probably work something out (I remember someone saying they wanted something). It's up in Boston, and while perusing the interwebs this morning I found out there just so happens to be a Sunn 1000s up in Boston for sale that looks pretty minty I might go check out while I'm in the neighbourhood.
Also, has anyone checked out the Catalinbread echorec? I've been eyeing one for a while, but actually finding bass demos and reviews is a bit difficult. Same goes for the Earthquaker Rainbow Machine, though that might not be so up yous guyses alley, but I'd like it to do some spacey Pink Floydy stuff.
I'm also working at a Milkshake stall at our county fair this week and getting paid in milkshakes, which I can then go barter with the other food stalls for actual food. Thus, my diet is largely consisting of milkshakes and tacos. My mind is all "OHHELLLLLLLLYEAH" and my body is all "killmenowpleasegodwhy"

Correct, I had the echorec for a little while. It's a super nice sounding delay. In fact it's the first/only digital delay to really impress me since I got obsessed with delay. Sounded shockingly close to my roland space echo, but cleaner and obviously smaller. I didn't mess with all the crazy multiple rhythm things it could do when I had it, but I it did have me considering keeping it and selling the space echo briefly. I made the right decision since my space echo is still here and I still love it's noisy weird old delay.
I had a rainbow machine too, cool for making sounds like youd hear on a battles record, but I never could think of a use for it in a project id be in. Fun, pedal to mess with though.

So today was a fvck it kinda day...
The super vintage bluez lawyer music store was have a sale today. I wanted to pick up a EHX freeze which I did, got that for $90. So sweet buy.
Then I've been searching for that nasty syrupy flanger sound in my head and have been told from the good old interwebs that it is a ADA Flanger that I seek. They were 30% off so I tried one out, definitely best flanger I've ever heard in real life. Well see if its what I'm hearing with my full rig. It was when he told me he could do if for $199 is when I figured Fvck it. And I feel if I need to flip it it won't be hard too...
So I saved close to $100. So that's something right?
Pics later.

Nice scores Max. I want to pick up a freeze again. Just need to find one for the right price.
