Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

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.

Yeah i know Tony still posts on ILF. And Adams basic bvtch posts on FB are knee slappers, also good to see hes getting back on his feet and opening up shop again to make everyone cabs. Mike im sure has his hands filled with twins.

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?

Tuxedoface Bass 300 from Bear Amps and Pelham Blues Megalith but he bailed on me last second, no hard feelings...so I ordered a Phase Wizard from Hex Cabs to control it all instead. Janitor is making possibly the most important part though, the 3 pin din extention cord so the Vulcans footswitch can be further than 5 feet from the amp.

I'm annoying the hell out of my cable supplier, hopefully it'll be here when I get back from NAMM.

Ugh, feeling the burn with the gear purge. Just put my Ray34CA up in the classifieds. If I miss it really bad I might just pick up an Ibanez ATK when my wife goes back to work and finances are less tight. If anyone on here is interested, let me know, I'll throw some goodies in with it or something.

i've always said ATKs are just a better version of a stingray. (just trying to make you feel better)

I still talk to Geoff (OldCrow) once in awhile. He and his wife are expecting their first child I think in May? Billows is kind of stagnant right now, still looking for a permanent drummer.
Talk to Mike (Beebass) occasionally. The Osedax current drummer parted ways with the band and they're reuniting with their old drummer. Think they're recording soon.
Still chat with Tony (Locopeland). He left Infinite Flux due to scheduling difficulties with his job. I try to see him when I make my way out to Seattle. His kid is still a crazy little fireball. One of the funniest little kids I've ever met. Think he's trying to get another project going.
Not sure if Jeremy is still playing with Encrust but he seems to be thoroughly enjoying life at the moment.
Still talk to Adam from time to time and he seems to have his feet back on the ground. Hope he can start building more gear!

I wanted an original ATK forever, before the originals, since the 90's. Every time one would pop up used within driving distance though there would be something weird about it. Fretless, wind surfing scene hand painted on it or something goofy like that. I almost bought Scott Reeder's old ATK off him long ago, but I didn't really care for the color and didn't follow through.

Thanks for the update! Seems fitting to reminice as we come up to 1000pages on this thread which would been S/D part 100 if im not mistaken.

man i would have jumped at the chance to get Reeder's ATK, even at a premium. that dude shaped how i play bass. my first 'serious' bass was a maple fretboard baseball bat neck ATK300 from '94, then i bought the 4001.
 
Not sure if I really want an octave pedal or a chorus pedal. Also considering flipping the flanger but lately I've been getting some nice sounds out of it paired with the Carbon Copy. Still don't use it enough to justify taking up real estate on the board though. I have a feeling I might use an Octave Up effect a lot more but I'm going in blind. Also can't seem to find many affordable Octave Ups in my parts without going for a POG or Bass Whammy.
 
Wonder what happened to Satori

I think he got the ban hammer...after I got the ban hammer for DOOMing out in the PW thread...


And what is of our elder statesman and moth girl lover?

Kawai works sales or customer service for a company that sells heaters or something so he's really busy during the cold months.

As for Sartori ban possibly. I do remember one of his last posts was about how his friend was framed for arson and he was trying to help him.
 
Thanks, it sounds very, very close to a Thunderbird to me, which stokes me big time as the goal was a comfy TBird and I pulled that off. Measured it twice and got 7.6 and 7.8 pounds, so nice and light too.
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.
Hey Joe, Where are you playing Saturday? I've got a rare Saturday night off, without a show.

The Joyo Octave fuzz would be an octave up option on the cheap.
