Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

First thing I was thinking was acutal price to pay versus asked price, but that color wasn't really tripping my trigger.
image for a group show in Japan that i had 2 hours to make the art for, kind of a mash up of a found nature photo and the halloween stuff i've been working on, here's an iphone 5s photo, work was done in enamel paint marker, wc pencil, and charcoal on duratrans, gotta redo the hammer museum stuff, the eyeforsound vocals, and do an artshareLA public art proposal, is it any wonder that i enjoy playing shows so much and letting loose, because the band is way more visceral and requires almost no paperwork, think we were supposed to shoot a music promo this saturday, but nobody has contacted me yet

Tort or anodized gold aluminum!
Or mirror guard and Steve Harris accoutrements. I'm not an Iron Maiden myself though.
Great price, throw a black pickguard and a Dimarzio Model P on there and I'd be in love with it.
Delivery confirmation that the Catalinbread SFT is waiting for me at home. I can't wait to diddle that thing!
Spend the afternoon listening to the three Husky albums on Bandcamp, some good stuff!!!

Someone already shot this idea down but I thought it was a decent one. How would you guys feel about a classic dirt circuit re-imagined with tube gain stages. Like a Rat but made with tube gain stages. Is the novelty of using tubes ruined if it still uses diode clipping? I don't have time to breadboard as much anymore so I like to just day dream about pedal ideas. I think the tubes would generate less high frequency distortion but I can't guarantee it'll sound loads better than a stock Rat. But my main issue is whether or not it would be worth it to deal with unique power requirements just for a slightly warmer tone.
In other words is the added cost and difficulty of powering tube effects worth the 5% of gains in tone???

There's a fair amount of tube amps that use diodes for clipping - it's not unheard of. Rat tube sounds like a cool idea to me.
No clue on "is it worth it". But, I like the idea of a tube rat. I imagine it would be out of my budget. Which is zero right now.
See if you can try plugging a Rat into various tube preamps and pedals to give you general idea of what it could sound like.

Fender once gave me a custom shop. 55 reissue. I wanted to love it so bad, but it was probably my least favorite P bass I've ever had , sadly
, saw your coming in town with the shackshakers. I going to try to make it this time
helps it's a Friday so that's a big bonus. Hard to make it to shows when I work the next day.
Wuss! I drove three hours to see them on a Sunday night! Got home at 3:30am.
And promptly notified my boss I wasn't coming in until noon.
