Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

having trouble focusing, i don't remember this, but jack stickman insists it happened

Saw The Hobbit last night, pretty good, ending seemed rushed though.

Took three films to end one book lol. Though return of the king kept seeming like it would end over and over. I remember my grandpa got up like three times thinking it was over and time to leave the theatre.

I'll have to wait until I get back to Texas to go see it and see how it goes.

Did you see it in 3D? Or did you just waste your time lol jk

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.

Wolf Council looks good.
 
Wicked Inquistion spoke pretty highly of you dudes, probably wasnt as bad as you think.

Go doom room.
Yeah hopefully not but it still didn't feel very good. lol
I couldn't imagine the Wicked Inquisition guys saying anything bad about anyone. Super nice, hard working, chill young dudes. They are always so tight!
You should bring Vega over this way this next year.




Well, heard back from Orange and they have been super cool. The tech I talked to said he tried to find something wrong with my amp but found nothing.
The dude who oversees all the warranty stuff apologized for not being able to find anything wrong and said if anything happens again they will pay to ship
it back to them. Bought two new neutrik jacks to replace the ones on my cab. They are combo jacks, accepting 1/4 and speakon connectors. Both 2 & 4 pole
speakon connectors but they only ever seemed to work with 2 pole connectors and the 1/4 part always seemed kind of loose on a lot of the cables I have tried.
It's the only thing I haven tried yet. I'm really hoping that will cure my amp woes. Anyone ever have issues with Speakon jacks?

Picked up 12 of these bad boys. Good beer, killer packaging.

an ex-bandmate guitarist friend of mine wanted to start a holiday metal cover band called "Sleigher" and do metal-ed up versions of Christmas songs. I suggested we also do xmas-ed up versions of metal songs:

Reindeer Blood:
REINDEER BLOOOOOOOOD!
FROM A LACERATED THIGH!!!!
etc

Manger 18:
For a child is
Born unto us
Manger 18
Baby Jesus
etc

The 8 Reindeer:
The Reindeer are drawing nearer
A crimson sleigh they pull
They come to bring you cooooooal
On through the dead of night
With the fat elf they go
HO HO HO HO HO HO!!!
etc

I never stop laughing at these guys.
 
Sam what's the blue record?
Owl (OVVL) self-titled. one of my favorite discoveries in 2014.


Mammoth Volume was such a good band and Chocolate and Cheese has to be one the best album covers ever.
I wish MV had more vinyl releases. that's my second copy of chocolate and cheese. I have the Plain Recordings reissue but wanted the original. I've actually gone back and repurchased all the Ween albums since almost all of mine were reissues. still waiting on a few but I think I've found them all now.
