Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I would cross fire them.


In other news, I got out of work tonight and had an email saying I am out of the cover band. Seems they felt that me not having nights open for impromptu practices, and the fact that I had to commit and request nights off for shows bugs them. Even though we have not had a gig since the end of summer.

Picked up my '66. Going to have to ride around in the back of my jeep for a bit, pain in the ass getting up my narrow stair well.

Sorry to hear, man!
 
. Yup rocking the 3015 in my cab. Love the cab and man did it slay the last time I giged it out.

Argh, now I want to try a 3015 Bassic...
Then I could be a Honky with a Honky
Or Conky

Bummer, man. I hope you get a gig soon when you're schedule permits.
 
Sorry about the coverband Julian.

The poopy thing is, we had a gig on the books for the 24th. I had time off for it and everything. The singer/guitar player thinks he is going to learn 4 hours of music in a week and a half and they are going to play the show as a 3 piece. Good luck on that. Not easy to sing and play a whole bunch of music on a new instrument.

I will find something new, no worries on that front. I get called a few times a month asking about fill in gigs, one of those will pan out I am sure.

Yeah, good luck with that singer/guitar dude.

I wonder if it wasn't more motivated by $$$ than some bullsh*t excuse about your schedule. If they're not bringing in a replacement it means one less person to split the pay with. Lame either way.

There has been a lot of strife because I dont have a fluid schedule anymore. Last practice the singer gave me sh!t because I was using notes for one new song. I reminded him that he was using lyric sheets for that song, and half a dozen other songs, that we had been playing for months. His response was along the lines of, "Yeah... well... I have to learn the music and the words, you just have to play bass...."

Ugh, yeah I'd say you're better off. Like you said, you'll find another group.
 
We had ~6 hours of music down.

I have guitar ADD I will learn the main riff or chord progression of some band's song and then get bored with having to repeat it and move on to noodling. I need to play with other's again to keep me on track. or buy a stun gun and have the ol' lady shock me when I go back to noodling. When we have the radio on in the car and the guitar solo comes on, she says you are that guy all the time, then I say nope I'm not that good LOL.

It's not the best idea in the world. I mean it won't catch fire or anything, but it won't disperse as evenly into the room as putting them side by side and tied into each other a bit

So in easy terms can you explain why it effects dispersion? Ive also heard that you should have the second dually with the baffle reversed so that all the ports are together. Why is that important?

Good on you for not blowing a gasket with a comment like that.

Port location doesnt matter. Cross firing your woofers means you take a lot of comb filtering out of the equation.

Take a look at this link.

Yeah... I play bass because it is easy.
