Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a 300t at some point.

After years of lifting a dually and a micro head with one hand I think it might kill you!... but... if I decide to part with one... Ill let you know first. (and thats a possibility if I love the Superbassman and the new 610 as much as I think I will LIVE.)

if you do, I HIGHLY recommend getting a matching pro series cabinet. There is nothing Ive played the 300pro thru that makes it sound as good. They were truly "made for each other".

:) The 610 looks awesome eyeball. The only time I have seen a SB in person is when Tony Alva drug an Ox Blood SB and matching 810 cab to play with Oppressed Logic at the Gilman in Berkeley.

I'd be really interested in your live in the mix report since this is the rig I've GASing over.

When I had a 300 Pro i thought it sounded great through an 810E as well. I see Bergantino are bringing back the NV series too, so there's always that combo.

Stephen Merchant's Hello Ladies is hilarious.

love that show. It's too bad it seems to have been cancelled after one season. I watched the HBO movie and that was quite good, predictable, but still good.

Yeah, Dually and micro head, I'm basically Skinny Arms Robe Lowe at this point. Looks like I'm not having any mayonnaise.

I assumed its following the bbc format of 1-2 series and a feature conclusion. Not that they all do that. more than american shows, that look to run shows into the ground as a means of concluding them.
 
New Kadavar track. Little more modern production here. I feel like the low end is a bit thin/lacking but I dig the song: Invalid Link Removed

I get the sense that's sort of their MO. They've never had that bass heavy of a sound, which I can appreciate. However, I do like the bit more modern production on this track, I think things sit better in the mix.
 
I've played with a drummer who play to a click via ear buds then cover the ear buds with over ear hear protection to help him isolate it. If they are playing in time so is everyone else right?

Our drummer uses an in ear monitor with vic firth sound isolation headphones over.

We never used a click until we decided to record. It's working pretty well for a bunch of 35+ yr olds that never worked with one.

You guys have great
@Lazarus.Bird , pressing to vinyl doesn't mean your playing has to be technically perfect. Listen to the takes and see if they sound good to you even if the tempo swings. Sometimes a tempo change can enhance a song if it suits the mood of the song and players. Use your ears, if you find the tempo changes too much in a bad way then you just try again but be more aware of how fast/slow you're going. We've never used a click, yeah sometimes we'll listen to a song and say that's way too fast or too slow but we just try again it isn't that hard to adjust.
You guys have awesome tempo shifts in your songs. And Sam, don't you guys record live?
