Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[JoeVictim]

Anyone have the S/D band list? I know I have seen it posted a time or two.

I remember Laz had it at one point, but that has been a few years I think...

@Lazarus.Bird can you hook me up?

 

[JoeVictim]

Or we start anew...?

The heavy bands of TB, 2015 edition.

 

[The_Janitor]

Day 1 of 12 days of work (and school). Kind of like the 12 days of christmas!

Zero sleep last night, just get things off on the right foot. Oh well, at least NAMM should be fun. Also - fat overtime checks are nice.

 

[CL400Peavey]

I wish I could consolidate all my work to one job. The OT would be SWEET.

Yeah, I love OT. I'll take all that I can get. Myself and my colleagues would be in salaried positions if we were doing the same job at any other company. While an inflated yearly salary would be nice, I would be much less enthusiastic about doing trade shows or any other type of work on the weekends.

 

[CL400Peavey]

Yeah, OT for how much I work right now would triple my day job income.

Also, the Carvin showed up on Saturday and I jammed it with the band on Sunday. I'm shaging blown away by this thing. I'm not sure if it's a really great amp or just exactly what I needed for my current set up but my tone is singing now.

This is why I laugh when people give me the old, "You recommend that gear in ever situation..." bullsh!t. I recommend it because it is good, really good. And you can use it in a lot of situations, because it is so good.

Have you played with letting the drive knob go past noon? Shouldnt give you any dirt, but makes things a little "warm".

Yeah I think I ended up with the drive around 85% max. Doesn't seem to add "grit" but it seems to make the notes articulate a bit more and there's more thickness to the tone.

 

[bassboysam]

you guys sound like a blues lawyer forum. "grit, warmth, thickness" ***!!!!

Have you ever played an amp, and just thought, "Man this is fine, but it is bland/cold/sterile." The drive knob is the anti that. But it does it without dumping a ton of distortion on your signal.

sorry i don't do solid state

 

[mbelue]

Hybrid?

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

I've played tube amps that sounded bland and sterile

 

[CL400Peavey]

I think outside of looking for tube break up, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the Carvin, and a clean tube amp.

 

[Corey Y]

That list is definitely outdated. Cold Mourning hasn't done anything since July of 2013. I started doing Warp Rig after that pooped out and that itself has been pooped out since summer of 2014 now. I need a new band maaaaaan.

 

[bassboysam]

Hybrid?

i'd play full SS before any hybrid. most hybrids are gimmicks, the tube doesn't add anything and is never run with the required voltages. There are exceptions of course but in general i have preferred SS over hybrid every single time.
