Yeah, it's me who mentions them a lot. I like them so much that I'm kinda thinking about making the trek to Denver to see them play with Neurosis. I've only seen them once, when they played at the Oakland right after Rebecca's guitars, one of the violins, and the bass had been stolen. It was an amazing, intense show. They had some technical difficulties at the very beginning due to the unfamiliar, borrowed instruments, but after that, they were bonecrushingly heavy. Also it's kinda amazing how Kim Pack, one of the violinists (the only one who was at the Oakland show, as the other one, Sarah Pendleton, couldn't go on that tour), manages to headbang while also playing the violin really well. Through a bass rig. I like partly that they totally do the whole doom metal ridiculous excessive volume thing (Rebecca Vernon's tone, apparently, just comes from cranking two 70s model Ts all the way up for overdrive, at least sometimes), but they don't sound like a 70s retro band... or really anybody else.
One of the ultimate shows, for me, I think would be a lineup that was Neurosis, Yob, and SubRosa. I've got their vinyl on the way.
It's a Nightstalker kind of day.
Thanks dude! That means a lot to me, especially from you. I put my all into these songs and I'm glad they finally get some good production. That's why we ponied up cash to record. My buddy tried to record us live, but there was no way he was going to make what he was doing, work. The guy we went with was a friend of the drummer, and we basically got half price. He was a real pro and I've never felt more confident about our sound as I have with him.@JoeVictim Just listened to both the Still Valley tracks, sounds killer man!
You mean 3015?Also considered replacing the speakers to 3015lf
Eh, I love metal, and I'm almost never in a Pantera or Children of Bodom mood.So I tried listening to Pantera and Children of Bodom yesterday and it totally failed. Just haven't been in a traditional metal mood lately.
Woke up with Monster Magnet in my head. Maybe go that way today, I dunno. Uncle Acid has been good though...
Their last one especially is somewhat close to their live sound. Not quite as raw, but still great. The difference is that in "The Usher," a guest vocalist does the backing vocals at the beginning instead of Kim doing them. I like the song live actually a bit better for this reason. "Ghosts of a Dead Empire" is basically the same studio as it is live, though. Just not quite as heavy, cause, you know, home stereos aren't as loud as that.I've had the chance to see SubRosa a couple times in the last couple months and they are absolutely fantastic live - One of the best I've seen. Funny, though is I've never heard any of their albums; kinda afraid that I won't like it. Neurosis, Yob, and SubRosa would be heavenly.
When I have steady income, I'll probably get a supporting membership.It's more expensive now too. I got a new supporting membership right before the new stuff kicked int.
You mean 3015?
Because the 3015LF is a subwoofer, basically. It's not something you use without another driver to cover the mids and highs.
I used an LF in a standalone 1x15 for a while. It actually sounded really good, rarely felt a need for more high end, even with fuzz. But I like a pretty dark sound, so YMMV.
...gotta love cleaning up other people's ****-ups. Time for lunch.
Supporting membership runs out in 7 days. Don't post anywhere but here, and haven't sold anything in the classifieds in over a year. Don't think I'll be renewing.
Ah, see, I don't like a dark sound. I don't like tweeters, either, but I do want a cab to at least go up to 4000hz.I used an LF in a standalone 1x15 for a while. It actually sounded really good, rarely felt a need for more high end, even with fuzz. But I like a pretty dark sound, so YMMV.
I've heard the Faital 15PR400s have a JBL-ish sound. Don't know if that's true. They also might not save you any money over going with K-140s.i need to do some calculating on what speakers will fit best in the volume of a 200S cab, can anyone point me in the right direction? my gut tells me ordering D/K140s is going to be a ridiculous and pricey way to make a clone cab ha.
