Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[The_Janitor]

Ok, so I just messed around with one of the new Fender Rumble heads - the 500 watter. You know what? The built-in OD sounds pretty good. A big step up from the previous rumbles, anyway.

askrere, not much to do about fixing a stripped screw head, but you might want to try a screwdriver with a more blunt tip. Either that or file it down a bit. Sometimes screwdrivers with very sharp tips just destroy small zinc/pot metal screws. If you can find a suitable replacement type/size at a local hardware store, might want to consider getting a stainless steel one that's a bit more sturdy.

I'd take that if I could source a good one.

Find a screw extractor set with small sizes. Or if you have a needle file make a slot across it for a flathead screwdriver to remove it.

I think I have needle files, they are files and small?

If I'm being honest, I almost never pay attention to lyrics anymore. With a few exceptions, with bands where the vocals are very up front and provide the hook to the song.

Same here, I want to hear the music more than the lyrics, unless the singer has a stellar voice or it is a band built around lyrics which is more in other genres. I kind of dig how some singers just don't use words but kind of sing the riff like in Color Haze and the Thom Yorke thing he does, like that, then it is less blanket covering of the actual music going on.

i agree, lyrics like text on a painting are often unnecessary if the non-language based elements are strong

Yep the small buggers.

Then you will be back in business like this feller

Uncle Acid and Danava last week. OM tonight. Only have vocals left to record before we mix and send it off to be mastered. Stoked.

Oh and this print arrived the other day.

 

[bassboysam]

Forgot to mention that the new MF Doom album is pretty good. worth a download at least.

Thanks!
I set my alarm so I wouldn't miss it, figured they would sell out pretty quick. Now I just need to get it framed among with a bunch of other stuff.

I just picked this print up at the OM show tonight.

Nice... Have this one a fan made a run of for the show at Slims in 2010.

Poster art done well is rare these days with photoshop on the loose.

i was think about one of these that I could leave at our drummers place for the jawbreaker-ish punk rock band I'm in. He has a pretty good pa so I went with a VT bass di instead and so far am impressed.

Really? i thought it was dooms weakest output so far

Doom's weakest but still pretty good I thought.

Up until my guitarist wrote them down and we had a good mix, I didn't know any VEGA lyrics besides a few words on Highway.

 

[Pelham Bleu]

Sat a.m. coffee and some office work. Eww.

Regarding lyrics, I try not to overthink it, just go for what seems to fit, what seems to make sense and what is easiest to sing an play.
