Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Well I broke down, my coffee fast is over. A coworker brought donuts in and a donut without coffee is a crime against humanity.
Seems we're going to take a hiatus until mid January. Drummer wants to spend more time with his daughter before and during Christmas, then guitard goes off to somewhere in Africa to surf until mid January. I don't like it a bit, but what can ya do.

Doesn't your guitarist watch Shark Week, there would never be as day I would swim in Africa or Australia. Just living in Florida for four years and watching the news of how many minor shark attacks happen in a year down there shagked with my head. I worked with a guy who loved to show off his shark bite when he was boogey boarding, eff that. I bet he would show off the wound if it bit off his cack, never risk and accident to your cack is my motto.

I assume he knows what he's doing. Besides, he'll probably be drinking and sitting on the beach all day anyways :D

I won a Roland EV-5 expression pedal on ebay yesterday, and the dude sent me a message thanking me for paying fast and then sent another one this morning to let me know he shipped today and gave me the tracking number. Nice to have someone on ebay as courteous as the TB sellers. Hopefully it works with the expression input on the EHX Pitch Fork.

Oh boy, this T-40 has a nice price, but is a bit uggo...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Uggo indeed, but I actually kind of like it. Albeit the 3TS is super clean looking, I would take this one over it. I have never been a huge fan of 3TS. I do find it curious that it was professionally set up with acoustic strings.

If for some reason I were to get another T-40, I'd go for the black with b/w/b pickguard.

I am on the lookout for a white T-40. It would be cool to find the rare white w/RW board model.
 
Damn it Max, I want to record your band/Peavey stockpiling collective.

I would love that!

I know The Hobbit gets bashed but I am excited to go see it and to go to my once a year movie on Christmas evening. And if any of the people going with me suggest seeing it in 3D I am going to punch them directly in the neck.

3D is just a gimmich to me.
 
That's the plan, the one man band thing I mean. People keep telling me I should move, but that's not really a sensible option. I'm the sole earner in our house, we have a newborn at home and I have a high school diploma. I make semi decent money because I've been doing the same job for 14 years and I'm an expert at it, but it's not an industry that's doing well overall around the country. We were thinking about making a move to the east coast a few years ago and the largest distributor in the country for the products I sell didn't have any job openings.

I do however own a nice drum kit, know how to play drums (though long out of practice), have recording gear and a free practice space. I could waste another six months trying out people who don't want to play this music or don't have any intention of doing a real band...or I could practice drums for six months and write songs.


I know it's not nearly as fun, but you can totally dive into the single artist role....completely write and record your own album then circulate it. See if it leads to you members that don't have to try to mess up what you've got going since it's already completed.
