Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Lazarus.Bird]

I could try to update the list. Maybe remove the dead wood too

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

That new Elder track is epic. They're coming through here with Mos Generator soon. Of course no one asked us to play

 

[Corey Y]

I'll give you some dead wood.

Our first big Denver show is this Saturday! Woohoo! Guitar player broke his foot/ankle and is going for surgery in like 6 hours. So, he'll be on a stool. Guess I get to roam the stage like a madman. I'm freaking excited!

Started writing new songs too. Got three new ones we are working on. One is totally complete and we've played it live. The two new ones have a little sorting to do. One has lyrics and is pretty much ready to go ( just have to memorize lyrics) and the other is just two riffs and an idea. But damnit, these are the best songs we've written.

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.

That's true on bass for most tube amps, can't tell a difference unless it's dirty tubes, and usually then I don't like it (playing through guitar amps).

On guitar most solid state sounds really bad for clean to me, needs a little something. Bass vi was like a guitar to me, it sounded off through my bass amp, but great into the crate v50 that I sold.

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.

So the order goes
All Tube.
Freeze to death in the vacuum of space.







Solid state.
Hybrid?

And that is kind of what the drive knob does, removes the suck.

Hey what bridge did you get for your bass vi.

It's time I rebuild mine I'm getting stir crazy. I need new switches to enable series, a bridge (mastery, mustang or tremsomething forget name). Also a Mexican jazzmaster tremolo for the screw in arm.

I havent gotten a bridge yet. Im waiting for my labella flats for it first, which are backordered or some shvt. Then with the new strings ill see if the bridge really needs changing. If it does i think i may go with the Straytrem bridge.

 

[Blank_0101]

Thanks!

wow, lots of people on there that we don't see around here anymore.

Yeah like LOCO, Beebass, Demon, thumbo, OldCrow...miss those guys.

That was back when i only had like 2 amps and 2 cabs haha. I remember telling Beebass that i will have biggest rig. I think I gotta be close to him at this point.

 

[The_Janitor]

Yeah, you cross my name off of that band list.

Corey, you and I should start a club or something.

 

[Corey Y]

I just signed up for dental insurance for our whole family, just like a big boy. Very affordable, way more so than the projected out of pocket expense for the rest of my fillings. I have to switch dentists, but oh well.

Hear ye, hear ye, this meeting of the sad dudes with no band club is now in session. First on the agenda, grown up talk about insurance and babies and why doesn't anyone like GOOD music anymore?

A lot of the guys who don't post here anymore still post on the ILF doom subforum and FB groups. Some aren't playing in any bands currently though.

 

[bassboysam]

awwww yeah!

needs an hour to defrost though....

Back in my day we used to drag our gear to open mics and play 3-song sets of stoner rock to confused singer/songwriters!

I saw QOTSA in a tiny club with 15 people in the audience!

First time I opened for Weedeater Dixie Dave still had dreadlocks!

We used to have to pick up the telephone, call clubs and ask to be booked - we'd record poopy-sounding demos to cassette 4-track, burn them to CD and hand them out for free in the hope that some dickhead hipster bartender would listen to 30 seconds of it and give us an opening spot for a show at 11:00 on a tuesday night. AND WE WERE GRATEFUL!

EDIT: DENTAL INSURANCE CAN PAY FOR ITSELF WITH ONE OFFICE VISIT!

 

[Burnsy]

I took the body and neck of my DIY baritone up to Bronson Guitar Works in Scottsdale this past weekend for final nut filing / assembly / set-up. While there I spied a Peavey Standard 260 atop a matching 2x15 in the hallway with a "for sale" sign, begging to be taken to a good home. Dusty, but not destroyed. @mc_muench - what were the last Peavey Henge pieces you needed?

Oh man, when I got the quote for the year (premium) for 3 of us and saw the copay amounts, it was a nobrainer. I wish I had signed up for new insurance right after our old one through my wife's work lapsed. It probably would have saved most of last year's gear fund.

Yeah, I just signed up last year. Hadn't been to the dentist in many years, no problems. Over the summer I cracked a molar which then became abscessed (while camping in middle of nowhere in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, kind of put a damper on things.) Only had two small copays and it was taken care of. I don't even want to think about how expensive it would have been without insurance.
