Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Corey Y]

Bass showed up.
It's not the one I bought though. The serial doesn't match the photos of what he had posted.
He posted "N******" this one is "S******" I know it's only a year difference. And I can't find his sale thread anymore. Arrgh.
It's still a 62ri, but maybe he has a bunch and took a picture of the nicest one he had...
I'm about to take the neck off and make sure it's actually a Fender. I'm all paranoid now.

Hopefully it's nothing fishy, but different serial number than what's in the ad is pretty fishy.

Should have a heel adjustment with the "Philips" head, should be stamped JBD-62 under the clear coat and the date should still be written on the heel in pencil. Got a couple pics of my 62 neck from when I got "burned" a while back if you need reference.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Yeah... It has predrilled holes on the pickguard for a pickup cover. But no holes drilled in the body... Which I find odd. I gotta find a thread on the 62RI and make sure all my stuff matches.

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Thank you Ampeg

 

[ampegfuzz]

You positive their in the body and not just the pickguard and I don't think they installed covers till the avri 62 jazz

Edit: read that too fast. Yes just in the guard. Should be no extra body holes. They haven't installed covers on production basses or ri since like 1980 thru till the AVRI. With small exceptions here and there IE marcus miller bass

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Cool.
Yeah Neck is legit. Honestly I was more worried about the body. I think the pickups are good. They are sitting on some kind of plate deal. The pots say made in Japan. It's probably all good. Just paranoid.

 

[ampegfuzz]

Those copper plates are the "shielding" and should be there. That's a good thing. Should be one in the control cavity too. All your grounds should connect to those plates. If you want it whisper quiet throw some shielding paint in the cavities too

 

[dozicusmaximus]

I just put the pickguard back on, but pretty sure the control cavity was just bare wood.

Is there a notch in the wood up next to the heel to reach the neck truss rod adjustment?

 

[ampegfuzz]

Could be a very small dip but should be painted. My body was not a 62 as that was the reason I got "ripped". To note the situation was remedied

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Cool. Yeah, looks like it was chipped to get access.
Also there was no writing or stamp in the heel pocket.

Kinda local beta bass. Tempted to grab it. Thoughts?

I thought the beta bass heads were more than 100 watts... Or maybe just a loud 100 watts? Asking $150. I thought I've seen them going for $100 though.

 

[D.M.N.]

Shout out to @Joe Kyle for my 250th like. Now I got me a new Talkbass trophy. TOTALLY RADICAL.

 

[Korladis]

I CANT WAIT...to work at 5 am after going though that. Cause I was denied having off or even coming in late for an overtime day...I just dont understand how that works. Hoping that changes by wednesday though. It'll still be worth it though, MOTHAFVCKIN SLEEP!!!

Also on doom diets. Im on a fasting diet. 2 days of the week I fast, the rest eat normally but keep healthy in mind obviously. On the fasting days your allowed 600 calories if you're "dying of hunger". Here's the thing youre not actually gonna die if you don't eat two days of the week, youll just be really hungry. We've been programmed to eat 3 square meals every day, as hunter gathers way back when, we might not have eaten that regularly. We don't really need that much food. The days you fast your body gets scared into starting to eat the fat you carry because it thinks it starving. It's easy for me especially on practice days because I barley have time to eat anyway. So that's what I do. I do eat the 600 calories in small snacks or fruits though because I need something to get through my work day.

I've lost 10 pounds in a month

Huh... maybe I should try that.

 

[JoeVictim]

Huh... maybe I should try that.

That's pretty much how I lost all my weight. Except I just slimmed down meals for everyday except weekends. A weekday might start with coffee and something to start day. Like Friday is tater tots and green chili day. That kinda thing is maybe 800 calories total. And it sticks to your ribs. I forced myself to eat Friday night after practice because I wanted some booze. Otherwise that 1000 calorie meal did me straight.

This doesn't happen everyday, but my logic is I don't need 2000 calories to sit on my ass all day at work. When I did manual labor, I ate a lot more.

been on the peanuts, koos koos, omelettes, mozzarella cheese, rice bread, fruit, and salads
(the bacon, potato chips, french fries, burritos, burgers, and milkshakes are looking really good)

hiking with the dogs used to help, but i think my metabolism has slowed beyond that point

I say you can have one completely horrible meal a week and still be good. Just don't get a triple

the problem is i can't stop, i work at a college and the junk food is everywhere within walking distance inside and around the campus

Holy poopie but that NOW!!!!!!! That's a insane deal, you should be buying that and not posting. Thats how serious that deal is.
