Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Someone around here has an Abominable Unholy Grail, I think that can do dirty delay but you're really just getting heresay from me because I've only read about it. Haven't tried or seent a vid of one yet.
It's more of a variable boost than an OD that will get dirty on the Unholy Grail... I promised a quick video. I'll get one of the guys to help me take a crappy cell phone vid next practice.
 
I don't or have I ever played stoner/doom, but I saw Sleep last month in Boston. Easily one of the top 5 shows I have ever been too.
Reverend Muenchie, bless the infidel in the blood of the riff.

;) I kid, I kid. But only sorta.

If you want to dive deeper into the recesses of the riff, let us know. I think collectively, we have a great wealth of knowledge in this thread.

He hath already been blessed by a high priest if riff than I.


So, Pelham Bleu pointed out a Vulcan in Canada for $75, needs work, doesn't have knobs, etc etc. Bleu messaged him and hebsaid he was willing to ship to the states. I email the guy saying I was very interested and would buy it immediately. He says "I pass". I up the offer to $100. Still says no. I finally say I really want this, what is it going to cost to buy it. He says he's not interested, guy refused an open offer. THEN WHY DID YOU LIST IT?!?!?!!?

I've let a few Vulcans pass by when I should have bought them who knows how many actually got made and how many are still around. That amp IS MY TONE, mine is lonely and I want a back up.


Hey sam...wanna buy me an amp?
 
So the dunlops are working out great. I think I need to try stainless steel strings just to be 100% sure I don't like em. I remember being younger and playing strings that felt like fretting cheese grater. I think those were SS. Never had a problem with nickels, which I used starting with this music. Brushing off the old Squier and getting some Kaliums for it. Then, Sam gave me the tip on loriders. Wish I could find them sub $20... But these dunlops are champs.

i swear gnomes go and change the settings on all my pedals when i'm asleep, couldn't get my sound out of either of the pedals last night, therefore i'm gonna just do what i usually do on saturday at the i want your skulls! i need your skulls! art show: play either the L2000 or the skyline p with the d180 master at 9 and the bass channel at 5 for a super harsh tubey od, might shoot a promo today for the halloween show at the green screen practice space in LA, probably will do misfits cover and then just superimpose our guitarists zombie movie b roll stuff or something random, gonna use the rat tail at practice if i can dial it to the nirvana thing i had going before the pedal knob gnomes changed all the settings
