Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Oh I agree. My mom has Parkinson's, and has been waiting forever to get approved for disability. She has work with the condition for the past 10 years, but simply can not any more. She and my step dad have zero left in savings after medical bills. She truly needs to be on disability, but (I) will be getting a lawyer to help get the process through a little quicker since the last 18 months have seen no movement.

Good luck man. I hope the best for the situation. My mom's friend had a blood condition that lowered her white cell count, so she couldn't work anywhere she might get sick from, and since her condition is so rare it took her a lot of time and money to finally get what she needed, help-wise.

Ok, I need a small mixing board. Goal is to have enough inputs and options to be fully functional for a band as well, if the need arises. I'm not all that convinced Behringer is the only answer. Goal is to have USB interface as well.
I found the Yamaha MG10XU could work, but would want sliders for levels so that pushes me up to the MG12XU.

Any other suggestions?

Openned for the Skull last night with Wicked Inquisition and some other radio rock band that was just a hair to heavy to actually get radio play. Twas a great show besides one song we "didnt" play, shvt happens. Sold out of our limited run of S/T CDs besides a few were stashing away for later and a few more at my house for bandcamp sales.

Played what felt like our worst show ever last night. People still seemed to dig it but man I am bummed out. I dunno what was going on with our guitar player but he just plain ole sucked the whole set. Didn't help that somehow we got put 4th on the billing and had to follow Wolf Council. Holy shvt those guys rule. Bass player is one of the best I have ever seen. Some of their songs he was playing the solo's that typically would be played on the guitar while the guitar player held down the rhythm. Lookin forward to their first album coming out soon.

Didn't play out this weekend, but had an awesome time Friday night seeing Goya, Dead Canyon, the Coconauts (surf instrumentals), and Woundvac (grind). Yeah, interesting variety bill. Lots of friends, brews, heavy riffs, and good times. Turned 39 years old at the stroke of midnight as Goya brought the DOOOOOOOM.

Saturday afternoon, I made dinner for a few close relations and friends. Braised a 6 lb NY roast in a full 1.5 liters of red wine for 3 hours, was DELICIOUS. Of course my 3 yr old and almost-6 yr old boys sniffed at it. "Awwww I wanted a HOT DOG". Pearls before swine I tell you.

Speaking of disability. The girlfriend's father is on it for bad "Nerves". Been on it for years too and only in his early fifties. When he tells people he is "Retired" I want to bust out laughing but he is an ok dude besides that business. He lives on not much money a month but I guess that is better than working to him. When he is talking to me about his nerves and I have a raging eyestabber migraine going and wanting him to leave my house because it is already 10:30 and I have work to go to in the morning drives me fn nuts to say the least.

Nerves? That's not a disorder he must mean nerve pain, anxiety or PTSD. Though unless he fought in nam as a baby, I dunno what his malfunction would be.

Though I'd be embarrassed as a man to say I got a bad nerves, as it sounds like "I'm a pussy".

so, the peavey 2x15 kicks ass. still haven't checked what the drivers are, because lazy. frees up the ampeg 210, maybe for use with a guitar amp? Any suggestions on cheap, low-ish power tube amps? as much as i'm never going to really need a big rig for playing bass i REALLY don't need anything more than like 15W for guitar...

Not full just a hybrid but I love my little Orange Micro Terror. Sounds great, takes pedals well, has some great home practice features, and super cheap. Pretty damn loud for 20 watts through a good cabinet too.

Nope just a mental issure for bad nerves. Afraid to be alone, suicidal he claimed. I will give him credit, he pretty much almost lost his house taking care of his sick mother and had like a nervous breakdown after that but still it was the easy way out. My father was bipolar and I see a lot of his issues in her father where they get so nervous in a conversation they start to look like a bobblehead with their heads bobbing around. He is also a control freak and can't handle having a boss.

Herd of Goya but none of the other bands. I like diverse bills like this these days. Least there may be more errrr head turners happening than just one grinder after another.
Like The Reverend Horton Heat opening for Motorhead. Good times!

I hadn't seen Woundvac or Coconauts before and I'm no connoisseur of grindcore or surf but they both sounded great and were very enjoyable. Dead Canyon plays heavy psych bluesy hard rock. They don't have any official records released or extensive tours that I'm aware of, but they have a bandcamp and they're superb so y'all should check em out. Drummer Josh also blasts in local grind powerhouse Sorrower, bassist Roger is also with prog doom heavies Sorxe and was in Graves At Sea back when they were based in Phoenix.

Ah I wish I could relate to that, But I don't really get anxious ever. I still don't understand what a nervous breakdown really implies, I've have several friends experience them but I wasn't there. I just picture an epileptic seizure with tears.

My grandmas bipolar and has some anxiety disorder, it just makes her kinda hyper and thing make her nervous, but I can't tell if it's truly nerves or she just says that. For instance if I'm watch tv and she wants to see something else, she suddenly gets very nervous...

I don't particularly like animals, so I equate anxiety to what I feel When I see a big dog I've never met and I don't know what it's gonna do, but I'll still meet it. I also feel weird with heights, but I still climb stuff.
