Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Any suggestions for a true bypass loop? I'm thinking of grabbing something to reduce the amount of pedal dancing between songs. Right now, I only need 2 channels, but I'd like a master bypass as well. Any experience with these? They seem to be the most affordable. Pros/cons in general?

That looks good, but which one? If I read correctly, it sounds like the A/B Looper is the one I would want, but what are the two pots up there for? Blending? I guess the blend option wouldn't be bad, I could just put it all dirty, but just like to know all I can before I buy, and that page doesn't seem too friendly to a guy who doesn't know his looper terminology. (That's me, by the way!) So, if I'm going that route, it's the A/B looper, right? This one here?

Oh a club full of Italian women shaking their booty sounds like a good time to me. Now I am imagining you pulling up to the show and being greeted by a bunch of hotties and going all Italian Spiderman style on them telling them watch my bike till I get back and slapping one on the arse, Respecto!, as you stroll in the club.

That made my day! Growing up in a very Italian prt of Brooklyn. Yeah... That was good. Reminds me also of the whole being a macho thing down here. Very similar.

He's responsive on email, so I'd send him some of your notes, questions, and what your use case is, and he'll work it out with you. His name is Bryan. ([email protected])

For sure don't order until you've understood all possible options and nailed down what you need.

Morning fellas, happy Friday. This is going to be a long one, I can feel it.

I had class last night - the one with all of the 18 year olds fresh out of high school. It was like junior high when you would have a substitute so everyone would just be extra poopy all day. Only it was our normal instructor. I was this close to walking out. 4 hours earlier I was in a high-level business meeting with one of the largest audio product manufacturers on the planet, only to be stuck with a bunch of obnoxious ******* teenagers.

So as soon as I got home it was bourbon and beer. Forgot about dinner, had a slice of banana bread then went to bed. This morning I sprung for a decent cup of coffee from the nice gas station up the street. It was some special small-batch organic south-american free-trade top-tier stuff. shaging ruined because someone didn't rinse out the coffee dispenser well enough - there's a strong flavor of that fake hazelnut ********. I hate flavored coffees with a passion.

...end rant.

Just had to get that out.

Yeah when I went back to college the lack of respect given to the professors from the freshman students was shocking to me. It happened more in my general education classes, the students regardless of age in my major were great though. I can't even imagine being a middle school or high school teacher these days, bring the paddle and the backhand back I say LOL.

Yeah, my sister is a teacher - she tried middle school and high school but ended up going back to elementary school because the kids actually listen to her. My other class is fine, but this one is just driving me up the wall. Like you said though, once I'm out of the low-level gen ed classes I'm sure it'll calm down.

Unrelated topic: My wife has been on a Beatles kick lately - has anyone else ever noticed that Josh Homme pretty much straight rips off Paul McCartney's melodies and general singing style? I can't believe I'd never made the connection before but it seems really obvious to me now.

My ex was a music teacher. Dated her from her senior year of college through her first two teaching jobs. Middle school in Cocoa Florida, the kids were devils. Then she landed an elementary school job in Leitchfield Kentucky, gorgeous place to live and the kids were awesome. Miss Kentucky but not her so much, well maybe parts of her LOL.

So last night my girlfriend actually let me watch, without going why you just watching music, LOL youtube videos of Duna Jam. So while watching some Colour Haze, she said you could play that stuff but I couldn't tell if that was a compliment or not as I know she thinks the droney stuff is boring LOL. She said the bass player isn't doing much at all in that band but thought radio bands she hears a lot of bass. I said you are hearing the bass drum and when you can hear a bouncy bass line that doesn't really mean they are doing much either. Like more notes = betters but she doesn't play but maybe a few chords on a guitar or piano. I said would you hate this if I found guys to play this with, she said not if I was stoned LOL. And that made me think oh the younger generation they got burnt to rap and pop metal/punk and while playing video games and don't even realize the psychedelic connection or mellowing out to weed. I said well they do call it Stoner Rock after all. Or maybe I was always boring and my favorite activity is chilling out and I love music and activites that put me in a relaxed trance state.
