Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Long time no see, folks. Hope everyone's been doing well.
Fell out of love with playing for a couple months. I blame exhaustion and general unhappiness. Even contemplated selling my gear at one point but luckily the missus talked me out of it. I've bounced back, though, and found myself a new group of dudes to jam with. Been busting out some solid sludge/stoner riffs with them for a couple weeks now and I get to gearnerd a lot with them which I couldn't really do with the former band. One of the guitarists is originally from Atlanta and tells us some crazy gig stories from when he was living there although I question the legitimacy of some of his stories (apparently he knows the dudes from Mastodon through his wife and he used to do blow with Brent Hinds lol). Regardless, I'm really enjoying jamming with them and hope this band takes off. Looking into drummers and vocalists to start forming songs with.
Also got this in the mail yesterday:
It crushes...so good! Good form, Ron!

Yea I'll let you know first. I hit him up when the ad was 30 min old a couple hours ago.
And here's my competitive ad lol, I wonder if someone would actually hit me up? Or more likely someone else show up with a $15 flat cost haha
XD
So good.
I mean, don't get me wrong, there are some killer sounding old drivers, but the points being argued are largely sensitivity and durability. For sensitivity, some of the new drivers have matched the old ones, and for durability there's no contest.
No problem, dude.
Now that's a good relationship.
The Kay is cool looking, but even new it probably played like crap, and it's in awful shape. $300? I think $30 would be pushing it.
The second one... um... if that was ever a viable business model, it hasn't been since electronic tuners were invented.
Sweet pedalboard, though.
I played one a bit some time ago and for the smiley face distortion its pretty fun.
Then again this could be a nostalgia moment you could cash in on.
Even more hilarious he'd say he found it in a barn. That's one step up from the dump (which is probably close to the truth).
Lol I emailed him and asked of it's a setup or us he just bringing a cable and korg to my house.
Yuppers, shame it's not a fz-2 on board...
Yeah not so much. I prefer real sausage, you know, from a butcher not a cardboard box.
Got a picture of that 69 SVT fridge...
Definitely not a 69. Looks like more of an 80s if I had to guess. And that hideous make over isn't as bad as I thought, I kinda like the grill pattern.

Wasn't someone asking about a Sunn Enforcer? I just realized my guitarist has one. Slipped my mind since he's been using his sovtek lately. He's getting a custom head case made.
On the left.

That grill looks like it came straight out of a 90's New Mexican goodwill.
One of the 810s I have found perusing CL has a similarly atrocious grille. I am trying to find something else in part because of that and also because I have asked the guy 4 times what he was asking for it and he won't tell me. I'll post pictures when I get home from work. He described it as "kool" grille cover.
