Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread Part Ten - What is this thread about again?

Starting my doom project today with a drummer and another bass player. Dudes got an 8 string Ric so should be pretty cool. Wrote a handful of riffs Saturday. Hopefully it works out. Last time I played with this drummer was about two years ago and lets just say he was less than stellar. Got a name for the band, Dying Giant, already snagged the bandcamp page! Stoked.

2-bass doom project, with one of them being an 8-string Ric?

I like where this is going :cool:

You going to tune that Rick up to piccolo bass scale?:hiding:
 
I like the 2-bass doom band idea!

Waiting ever so patiently...HAHA, that's a joke...for the Colossus to arrive.

I think I'm going to have someone paint the pickgaurd on my Fretless P, I'm thinking really cosmic, spacey with earth in there like this...

Then a cream pickup cover for contrast.
 
Went into the local guitar shop in Pittsburgh that is pretty famous. Its small but carries vintage stuff from time to time. There's a Guild B-301 strung with Chromes that I fell in love with...

that's one of my favorite basses! the only thing cooler is Stanford Parker's Electrical Guitar Company modeled after it!

I just watched the Classic Album: Deep Purple's Machine Head- really cool! I spent most of it wondering where the leslie speakers for the organ were, then they explained how they ran the B3 through a Marshall- epic!

Now it's on to Classic Album: Cream's Disraeli Gears.

Watched that as well today, and the motor head one, all very interesting, can't wait to go to the jam spot tonight and get wild.
 
Ugh I'm having a gas dilemma. I've never walked into a store, played a bass and said I really need to own that until today. I still have the second half of my dually to pay for and I just bought that svt-7 so it is hard justifying buying a bass right now too. It would also be the most money I've ever spent on a bass.

I may try to sell my '77 Artist. It's a great collectible and eye candy but I don't enjoy playing it that much. I'm not sure if there would even be interest...
 
After another evening spent noodling around instead of practicing, I think I'm going to have to ban Em scales from my routine. Too easy to bust into my usual repertoire of riffs with some fuzz on top.

I really need to start jamming with a drummer.

In other news, drummer I played with a few times last fall is putting together an 80's cover band, so I might be giving that a go. Anything to be playing with other people at this point. I'm having withdrawals.
