HM-2 and the Demon King with the Ric = Awesome
HM-2 with the Bass Whammy is pretty much a one man old school death/grind machine.
Demon King is still great for stoner/doom OD or gnarly Noise Rock riffage.

Do you use your E string much with the BW? I find it pretty much turns to mud unless I'm at least midway up the neck.

Sorry to hear about your Ma and stepdad, dude. My wife had to spend a lot of time taking care of her folks over the last few years, it's hard, hard work. They were older and in poor health and needed to be helped through assisted living to hospice, the whole bit. My wife has 3 other siblings that could have helped but didn't. Everything gets dumped on the one child that is actually decent enough to not be able to nothing. It's difficult, unfair and downright ******. I wonder how some people can live with themselves - wouldn't any you guys feel bad if your brother-in-law did more to help out your ailing parents than you did?

Anyway, I hope the double job thing and the parents thing get worked out with a minimum of BS. Hang in there.

My mom has parkinsons, and treating it has financially crushed them. She has been waiting for ever for disability to kick in. My step dad lost his job, and at 63 has struggled to find something else.


It is amazing how sh!tty people are, and part of me is really glad that I will be working through the holidays.

the American health system and your insurance industy just blow my mind. I don't know how you guys live with those burdens. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the peace of mind that our system provides.

Hope it all works out for you Julian.

Gassin for a super fuzz again. Also I'm not saying it's perfect but you guys think I can get away with 105-50 in drop C on my ric? Got a couple fresh sets I'm trying to decide what to use. I'm leaning toward the 105-50 daddario but also have a 110-55 curt mangin and 118-43 circle k. I would do the circle k's if it wasn't the 118 drop set. With they were the standard set.

It really pisses me off, and makes me want to punch anyone against the affordable care act right in the face, repeatedly, with a hammer. Even with it, the program has been slow to do its job. My parents entire 401k has been killed off trying to pay for medical bills that were sent to corrections.

Well , i used a 5-str set for drop C in the past (125 for that C) , but the set i really liked for that was the D'addario 120-50 balanced tension , which is i think close to that circle K of yours . Dunno about the 105-50 though

...on a major hardcore/punk kick. Some killer bass fuzz on this one:

Boss Hyper Fuzz or a Behringer knockoff?

Had one and sold it. It was a really good clone, though. Sounded more like the OG Super Fuzz than the FZ-2.

Played fingerstyle at practice last night, first time doing that since I switched to a pick about 5 years ago.

Sounded pretty good, felt more substantial on the low end as I was getting more contact with the string.

My hands aren't so jacked up anymore since I don't work in freezers all day like I used to, maybe it's time to start incorporating more fingerstyle back into the mix.

The Mrs. will thank you.

 

[mc_muench]

I use a 105 for drop C, perfect amount of flop for me.

Also sorry to hear about your rents julian.

Anyone in here interested in buying an EHX Bassballs Nano or an MXR Dyna Comp? I'm trying to get rid of some stuff I'm not using to fundraise some cash for taking my wife out on our anniversary. Also moving a Tech 21 Liverpool (Vox in a box), don't know if anyone would be interested in that, more of a guitar thing.

Funny you mention that, I was literally schooled by my first exposure to Nomeansno in the last couple weeks.

******** price, but this Marlboro looks like that dean markley.

Did the ciggie company make amps via a subsidiary? I can't believe they would allow their name to be used.

 

[ampegfuzz]
