Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

And my cell died. Just sitting on me work station. Never got wet, or dropped. Lived in an otterbox its whole life. Just wont charge or turn on.

Fantastic. I wanted to have to buy a new phone, and go with out any internet or phone over the holiday weekend.

Same thing happened to on Monday. Was hoping it was just the battery so I swapped batteries with my wife's phone... not the battery.

I got lucky, my phone was on sale for a fraction of the price that I originally paid for it so I just bought the same thing again - was up and running in five minutes.

I have a year old S4... so I have another year that I have committed to paying on the contract, and no upgrade. :(

Fuugghhh. That's horrid. I'm not a big fan of this new "making payments on the phone" thing. I liked having a free upgrade or a cheap upgrade price, and then the phone was just mine. Nope, now we have phone loans.

Hopefully I can at least get a hefty discount by trading in my perfect condition nexus 4. >.>
 
So I picked up that Sunn beta bass head. $150 and a half a tank of gas.

Turns out the kid got it for free from his high school band dept. It had been sitting in a closet for a decade. They just gave it to him. He didn't know how to fix the scratchy pots and prefers combo amps. Wanted to get enough money out of it for some new pickups.

That's a CRAAAZY good deal man.


Well, I'm kinda reluctant to share it here, but our guitard put it on youtube, so I might as well.
It was recorded with a phone camera standing on the guitar amp, so I'm pretty amazed that it's sounding as good as it is.
We're still sloopy as ****, it was my third attempt at singing that night, so it will probably (and hopefully) still change a lot, but well, here it is:
Us, playing our only (almost) finished track, Destroy Galactica Twice.
Be gentle :D


Sounds cool man, I dig the laid back groove of the song.
