Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Well i already have a pair of kappalites and greenboy refuses to build empty boxes so I'm put into a spot where I'm looking for alternative, I didn't hear about these mishaps with his build though, it's certainly changing my mind.

You could send the speakers to the builder of your choice.

Wasn't a option through my Michigan builder , he's trying make me buy a separate and i can't afford to have like 500 dollars worth speakers laying around

Bring/send you speakers to Dave homer. He should be willing to build around them. He won't send you an unloaded cab though.

I'll try to convince him but he wasnt really trying to negotiate

Shamelessly I am going to tell you to name drop. I have bought a significant number of cabs from him, and he has used my drivers for new builds.

Gotcha. Should be no big deal with an authorized builder. Wonder why he was reluctant....

We will find out, just sent him my plea lol

Cool project man, hope you get all the bugs sorted out.

Sunn 2000s update: replaced blown tube, changed a few resistors and capacitors, moved a couple of wires around. No more tube death, no more motorboatin' oscillations. Just FAT HUGE BASS.

Hopefully he will! We just can't send an empty box. If you ship drivers, any builder should be able to do it

Very new to stoner rock (and very old). Anyway, do any of you have an internet radio suggestion to get a variety of bands? I'm listening to some Kyuss, Electric Wizard, Sleep etc but there is so much out there! Suggestions are welcome too. Thanks.

Ran into @Jason! today. Works at the local GC. Always good to know someone who works at a music store.

My drummer works at GC. Told me he could get me 20% off just about anything, and I need tubes. Any suggestions within the GC product selection?

I was bad today...

NCD Peavey 1820

So loud, easily my loudest cab.


Also might be a NAD later too, put a bid down on another Peavey Vulcan.

We used to have a list of bands at one point, maybe someone still has it.

You can also check out allthatisheavy.com they used to stream tracks and you can browse different bands. Pick a couple and then go to YouTube and follow the rabbit hole.

Lost out on the vulcan, just not will to spend more than $300. I wonder how expensive ive made them.

You guys know Peavey much better than I. How would a Max 112 do for quiet (I know, blasphemous!) practice? Just got a house, and a stipulation was that I would finally be able to practice with an amp instead of headphones. Now the wife says the GK MB200 is too loud! Probably gotta downsize the cab, since it's a 410, but can't find any used GK 110s or 112s in my range. Local GC has a Max 112 in my price, so I'm curious. What do you think? Or do any of you fine gentlemen have a lead on a GK 110/112 Neo for cheap?
