Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

In the full setup max, what is each head , what's it trying to achieve and what cab/s. What's your main bass too?

Ric for Vega, Matsumoku P for GH. The full rig is 3 heads into 4 fridges. The Vulcan goes into my 218 with my old 70s full range PA 18s, that is my tone, everything else is just supporting that tone. If I could only bring one head and cab to a gig, that would be it. Thats run straight in, besides a tuner and an aby. The bass goes into the Hi input and then out from the Lo input, old school daisy chaining, I go into the PA200 which will be running the folded 18 whenever I get my BW fixed. That is my clean bass "blend knob" stack, just there for some constant clean low end and the folded makes it more roomy than a direct sound. That is also the first stack to not go if space is an issue. Those 2 amps and cabs form the A side of the aby. The B side is my pedals into my dunwich preamp into the 800 Booster into the 810 and the 218+210. If space is still a issue I'll drop one of the cabs. I've been choosingto take the 810 recently. That is where I have my fun with effects and more fuzz for more heavy. The cabs are all about the bass, no treble...yup i just did that...the 810 does the low mid thump and the 210+218 goes down to like 27hz or something ridiculous like that for the dub. I certain don't NEED this stack but it adds DOOM. The Vulcan stack and the one cab on the dunwich/booster stack is my Vega rig.

I saw Megadeth once, on the Youthanasia tour. They opened with "Holy Wars". F-ing awesome.

The opener on that tour? Stone Temple Frickin Pilots. Picture that happening in 2014. 1993 was a weird time.

That was the last album of theirs that I listened to. I heard Risk when I working at a record store. Garbage.

Spotted Dave Mustaine at NAMM last year, but I was hurrying to a meeting so I didn't get the chance to kick him in the balls. Maybe this year.

Well, mostly. The KT88 closest to the power toroid flashed on the third note I played, smoked screen resistor. But the amp kept on tickin', sounded nice too! There seems to be a low frequency stability issue, some put-put-put motorboating when the gain knob goes up a bit. I'll have to work on that later it's time for bed I've already lost too much sleep to this baby this week!

Cool project man, hope you get all the bugs sorted out.
 
Man In my dream I ran away from school, stole some bandits guns and pixie stick candy and hopped a train to escape. This hot girl caught up to me, and we decided to hop off and land it, as we do she suggests we spend the night in this abandoned church. I go to kiss her and turns she's pale as dirty blue snow and tasted like flour with eyes like over easy eggs. Woke me the hell up.
