Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

So I was cruising around my internet history. Good thing I hardly ever delete that stuff.
I found the searches I did on the serial number. Just to make sure I didn't goof. I am now 100% positive I got the wrong bass. I was only 99% sure earlier.
Also found the http to the deleted thread.
Things are looking up!

Best thing to do when someone serves you a sh!t sandwich, is to slide it back across the table and let them take the first bite.
 
+1 to all of this.

The Power Slinkies sound fuqing amazing new, and very decent broken in, and they last a pretty decent time. Once they start to go, they go quick and they suck.

The chrome flats on my Ray sound fantastic. Once I sell that bass, I hope that who ever gets it never wants/needs to replace them.

Well, it makes me feel better that a couple of you guys have experienced the same thing with the Slinkies. I'll pick up a set of flats today and slap those puppies on the ATK.

Thanks for the help, fellas.
 
So... flats on an active bass - who's done it? What did you think?

Had Chromes on an MIM Active Jazz wen I first started playing bass. With a bit of felt rolled up for a mute. Was trying to get an un-guitar as possible to break any bad habits. Was a very cool sound, but the bass weighed 12 pounds, and I have since gone all passive. Well. other than my seldom played Yamaha fretless, which also has flats on it. I need ot dig that one out more. Love how it plays, I think it needs a new pre-amp.
 
any of you fellows fond of any particular overdrives, looking at the solid gold beta, the bearfoot blueberry, and fuzzrocious dark driving
(already using a fuzzrocious rat tail for distortion btw)

I FN love the Solid Gold Beta. Goes from Motown cleans to mid gain. I used an EQD Speaker Cranker to push it to even more dirt(I like to set it to Motown with a slight bit of dirt for an always on pedal, then slap on the EQD for pushed tube drive). It's a dark toned drive, tons of lows and low mids so it might not be for everyone. It is that bass tone in my head, so it was like finding the holy grail bass overdrive for me and I had a few of the usual suspects. It's like a Way Huge Pork Loin with better tone and more gain IMHO. I want to buy the Zeta Drive now for guitar and to see how it stacks with the Beta. I can't wait to get the Jazzbird built as I don't have a bass with a bridge pickup to hear how the Beta will sound with bridge grind. Happily sold my Joyo UD after landing the Beta.

Yeah, I like the pickguard on the one he sent me more than the one pictured though. haha. Still fishy. No stamp or anything in the heel of the body. No plate in the control cavity. hmm
